I'm back!
I know I should write up Part two of my Epic Fail post from last week, but my heart's just not in it today. I'll tell you the rest of the story - perhaps tomorrow.
Today I want pictures and words and some laughs.
So here we go - a bit of this 'n' that...
First and foremost, we are better. Mostly.
The puking, high fevers, and wish-I-were-dead virus appears to have moved on.
Every touchable surface in the house has been bleached. Repeatedly.
Despite that, I can't help but share this photo of the Wee One when we were still sick

| So sad. "You want to go lay down in your bed, baby one?" "Awl-wight." |
No worries, though - he's all better, trust me.
Big brudder had more of the upper respiratory version - high fever, hacking cough and boogery nose. Well, yes, he did throw up some, but less than the rest of us.

| Hot chocolate. Good for what ails you, unless your puking - cuz it's a beast to get out of the carpet. |
Finally, one last bit of business here.
In the essence of full disclosure, it has come to my attention that I am officially an old lady.
A week or so ago, I had a physical - complete with blood work.
A nurse called me to discuss the results - everything was great - cholesterol, triglycerides, yadda yadda - everything except my Vitamin D level - which was apparently critically low.
"The doctor has called you in a prescription Vitamin D supplement, which you're going to take once a week for 12 weeks, and then we'll recheck your blood."
Wow. Okay.
 |
| Vit D is a lovely shade of green. Also, what's up with my old lady palms? |
"Also," said the nurse, "You're going to take 600mg of Calcium twice a day."
So off I go to CVS to obtain the old lady staple: Giant Bottle of Calcium Supplements.
 |
| Old lady palms, old lady stuff in my medicine cabinet... what's next? |
Anyway, it's official. I am old.
If you are under the age of 65 you may want to go read a younger, hipper blog.
Tomorrow we discuss Fixodent vs Polident and sensible shoes.
Nurse = Old Lady Hands. That's my excuse anyway! Glad you're all better!
ReplyDeleteoh please ..when you are my age then you can call yourself an old lady..and i would not let any one take a pic of my face or hands..take the vitamins and pump up the immune system ..glad everyone is doing better and you did give me a laugh this morning OLD LADY yeah RIGHT!!!love,
ReplyDeleteMelissa - My fellow old lady understanding is that the calcium chews are better taken and absorbed. I take 6000 IU of Vitamin D daily. Finally do NOT knock old lady shoes! hey are making great improvements in style , but not cheap. Ah well, it's not for sissies. xo Betty Brennan, born in 1958 (now THAT's OLD)
