In case you wonder where I have been.
You would find me in bed!
Eight days today with my
very best friend.
His loyalty is amazing.
He is by my side 90% of the time.
He has dragged all his treasures
all over the bedroom hoping
I would enjoy them as much as he does.
Sometimes he gets tired of my pillow and
changes positions.
with a toy hanging out of his mouth.
All in all he has been my best medicine.
I came home from my daughter's house
a week ago last Tuesday.
On Wednesday morning I woke up coughing so hard
I could not get a deep breath.
I went the next day
and was tested for Covid and Influenza.
Thankfully, I had/have neither.
I do have a nasty virus.
Today is Day 8 in bed.
I think I turned a corner yesterday
and am coughing a lot less.
The meds have helped and my old stand-by
Thera-Flu
works well for me.
It is compatible with the prescribed meds
so that's a good thing.
I NEVER get sick like this.
I am NOT a good patient.
I just want to be left alone and ignored.
and that works well in this house.
However, Scruffy is the welcomed exclusion.
So, I may be away a while longer.
I haven't been on the computer much.
Just wanted to send out an update.
See you all in a
New Healthy Year.
That's the promise I am claiming.

Sorry you caught that nasty respiratory virus! There's so many circulating right now. Plus covid and the flu. I hope you feel better soon!
What an unexpected blow, Diana! TheraFlu has been my 'go-to' gold standard for years and years. I'm glad to hear you've a good nurse there with you. Try not to overdo it, okay? Hugs!
That nasty bug is making its way into so many homes these days. I'm glad you're on the mend, but I know it takes awhile. Treat yourself well.
I'm so sorry Diana. Glad you have your little pal to keep watch over you.
I'm just now feeling half way normal from my bout of whatever it was a month and a half ago. Nothing to play with for sure.
Praying and love you xoxo Dolly

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! At least it is not Covid, though I'm sure that is no consolation. Your little friend is amazing!!!
Oh so sorry to hear you are so sick. Hope your back to your normal self very soon.
Seems like so many people got sick over the holidays and NOT with covid!

Oh my goodness, that is a nasty bug. But what a deal and faithful friend you had by your side. Praying God does a mighty work and gives you rest and full recovery. Sending hugs.
So sorry to hear you've been sick! The cold bug seems to have visited our area too. Thankful to hear you're on the mend, and I'm sure Scruffy has been thrilled to assist in your healing process!! TheraFlu is great stuff, Nyquil is too. Hope you are feeling much better soon with prayers for you!!
Oh you poor girl!! What a miserable way to start the new year.:( So happy that you didn't have Covid, flu, or RSV. I'm glad to hear that you are on the road to recovery now -- with the cutest little nurse by your side. I'll be praying for a quick and complete healing for you, sweet friend! Take care, stay hydrated, and get well soon!

I am so sorry you have been so sick! Thank goodness it isn't covid or the flu but I know you are still miserable. Get well soon, dear friend!
Oh darn! Sure sounds like the flu. Take care and get better soon!
Sounds awful! I am so sorry that you've been ill all that time. Glad that Scruffy was such a good companion. Take good care of yourself and feel better asap.
So very sorry to hear you've been so sick, Diana. Praying for you to feel better soon. Scruffy looks like really good medicine to keep you entertained and feeling loved. I had that back over the Thanksgiving holidays and it took a couple of weeks to feel better. Rest is the best medicine, along with the plenty of fluids and whatever cold/cough medicine that helps. Mainly rest. Take care my friend.
Love you lady, and just said a prayer for you. WE know how you feel. We coughed ourselves silly.
I think you have great company medicine, amazing how sympathetic, even understanding the 'puppy' can be.
Prayers for a SOON recovery.
Love from down here

So sorry you've been sick-hope you're much better soon!
Well that’s rotten! Thank goodness for pet therapy! Take care, Diana! - Jenn
So sorry to hear you've been sick. I'm glad you have a furry one to take care of you while you get better.
Sorry you are sick. That is some terrible virus you have. 8 days in bed has to be discouraging. But the bes thing you can do is take your meds and rest. Thanks for keeping in touch with us. Hope you are much better soon!
Oh I'm sorry you're sick with that nasty virus!! Eight days is tough!!
Thank goodness for your Scruffy...what a little dollbaby...
Get well soon friend!

Oh, Diana, I can relate and will pray for you. I got a similar virus in early Dec, was in bed the first week, struggled with fatigue the 2nd and kept the cough until 3 weeks. I hope you feel strong soon and the cough doesn't linger.
Oh, that is the nasty virus my husband had. Glad you are recovering already. I love that your sweet doggy stays by your side. I have my big black kitty by my side in bed whenever I am sick. He pretty much is aloof all other times!!
Dear Dianna, praying that you will soon be well. Asking Jesus to heal & comfort you. You have a nice companion with you aiding in the healing process. Be well, FlowerLady
I'm sorry to hear you're under the weather and hope that you're on the mend soon. That Scruffy is a good friend, and a good nurse, giving you your daily doses of love medicine!
I'm so sorry you've been sick! Glad you have your sweet companion to keep you company! He has such good bedside manners! Sounds like the cold from h*ll we've all had. Kids brought it home from school, took me the entire month of November to get over it, about a week later, my grandson came down with it again, we all had it most of December! Still gunky in my head but I'm thinking it's going away. No fun! Hope you're feeling better soon! Hugs!
I am so happy you are starting to feel better. I see little Scruffy is wth his new gingerbread toy. So happy he loves it. Take care and get lots of rest. these virus that are going around are pretty nasty. Hugs. Kris
Oh no! That sounds awful! Get well soon, Queenie!
Happy New Year Diana, and get well soon. Dear Scruffy is a loyal companion x
Oh Dear, what an icky way to start the New Year. Sending you hugs, prayers, and good thoughts to get through this. Rest up, and Happy New Year, pretty soon!
I'm so sorry you've been sick! But having a loyal companion who thinks you are a queen sure does help. He's adorable!

Sending Snow Covered HUGS... we have been getting snow, snow and more snow in my neck of Wisconsin.
Get Well Soon my friend. I think your 'nurse' is a sweetheart.
I hope you have a speedy recovery from the virus Diana. It's great that you have Scruffy by your side. Wishing you a happy new year too.
I do hope your recovery is quick. My cat, Kala, always wants to be with me when I am ill. Rest and recover!
Diana, I'm so sorry you're sick. These viruses are awful, and whenever I get the coughs, they linger on for a long time. It's sweet that you have your Scruffy to comfort you. Pets are such loyal companions. I hope you feel better soon. I always take garlic tablets with colds. It seems to help twice as fast when using them. Take care, Diana.

I hope you recover quickly.
Love,

Gosh I hate that for you - you sound so miserable. I hope you are on the mend and get well quick. ♥
Sorry to hear you've been sick. Hope you recover soon! Glad you have a very concerned friend to keep you company!
Sounds like you got the nasty bug going around, RSV. Its pretty nasty but at least you are starting to get some relief and at least it isn't COVID. Most likely you picked it up after your out of town visit.
I still wear a mask out in public and hand sanitize alot. I lived in country where folks masked up years ago all the time, because they believe it is rude to cough or sneeze around other people, and they are big on sanitizing their hands all the time. So not a big deal to me. But I almost NEVER got a bad cold or flu all the years I lived there either. So I don't have an issue masking in public because unfortunately other folks not very careful and not always good about even washing hands after public restrooms. When I see that it grosses me out !!! LOL. Anyways, get Well !!! Dawn Pinnataro Albany, GA
So sorry to hear you are puny! At least you have a good companion. Will pray for a swift and complete recovery!
So sorry you've been sick! But I am very glad that you have such an adorable and attentive caregiver! Hope you feel better very soon!
I am so sorry you have not been well! Glad to hear that you are feeling a little better. Get well soon, and happy new year.
Awww so sorry you have been sick. So glad Scruffy is there top keep you company. Our fur babies are so supportive. Feel better soon. Happy new year! xoxo
There are so many nasty bugs and viruses circulating at the moment.
Sending lots of get well and feel better wishes to you.
All the best Jan
PS Scruffy is a darling :)
Scruffy is the best!
Sad you have a virus,
guess it is good that it isn’t Covid
but a hurting cough is not fun at all.
(Keep a good eye on momma for us Scruffy!
You are “the star” right now!
No paper tearing while momma is bed ridden though! PROMISE!)
I feel for you. Get lots of rest and do as the doctor says. I had it twice and the second time my doctor threated to send me to the hospital, so I did exactly as he said. Then, when well, did the shot routine. I haven't had it since. Aren't pets so wonderful. They sense when you are sick and are always there for you. Take care and get well.
