Mrs R is spectacularly ill with the flu, or something like it. Any thoughts/prayers/vibes/
distance healing stuff would be well-appreciated right now.

6. Fortunately, one of the things I'm damn good at is taking care of my wife when she's
not feeling well. And she has the good sense to sleep through it...and we all know what a great healer sleep is.

I think I may go have some of it myself, as a matter of fact. She's in bed, the puppy's snoozing, and the Little Guy is out on a bike ride. Wish I was able to go with him, but I'm not...

3. Ung. That sucks. Usually I'm a big fan of gatoraid when I'm that sick.
The amount of fluids you loose to sweat/runny nose/etc is amazing.
It sounds like you and Mrs R need a vaction!

:(

8. Oh, yes. She's on the Gatorade/vitamin push.
I'll get back to you on that other stuff tomorrow, because I kinda have my hands full today.

7. Try to keep her
Edited on Sun Mar-11-07 01:19 PM by hippywife
hydrated and fix her a BRATT diet: banana, rice, applesauce, tea, and toast. It really helps with the nausea.

Sorry to hear she is and your leg is going south on you. Hope you are both doing a better soon.

:hug: :hug:

Edited to add, that I liked the silver and nickel handled canes best. I recall seeing a pic of you in a black cowboy hat and I thought that would fit better with that look and all the way 'round, even.

14. It's been many years
but I haven't forgotten. The flu is nothing but downright misery. "Spectacular" is not too strong an adjective to describe the discomfort. In fact, discomfort is a far too mild description.

I'm assuming, and hoping, it is just the flu and thank God it's temporary. I simply can't imagine having a chronic disease with those symptoms.

I saw a picture of your wife here a while back. She's beautiful, and certainly looks strong and healthy. Here's hoping she gets back to her old self real soon.

23. Yes, she's strong. The first time she spent a night in a hospital was when she had our son, at
the age of 43. She'll get through this, thanks in no small part to the to the support of DUers such as yourself.

15. Sending it all.
My father, a doctor, says to suck on vitamin C lozenges. It can't hurt. Sorry Mrs. R. is indisposed.

29. Gatorade is good
Prayers, good vibes and good Karma is sent your way......
I always thought of a sickness like this as a cleansing, ridding my body of the toxins.....
but I also thought of a virus as a Pac man game going on in my stomach!!!!
Hold her head, and wipe her forehead with a damp cloth......
And try not to catch it yourself!!!!

33. Good wishes for you and Mrs. R.
The only thing worse than having the flu is nursing someone else through it. I wish her a speedy recovery.

36. Energy for restored health coming her way
Can't walk far, but I can hurl positive force better than most.

INCOMING! ;)

May the spirit shaman who visited me in my sleep when I had pneumonia and a 105 fever come to her and give her the vapor which restored me. I woke up 100% after that dream/healing. May she find such a dream visitor to take her to be healed.

37. Hope she gets better soon.
Considered having her down a half-gallon of orange juice a day for 2-3 days? I had a teacher who swore by it, and it worked to improve (albeit not cure) my symptoms the last time I was sick.
