The greatest wealth is health.

…I did not mean to leave you hanging…I really didn’t
…The past six days were a bit very hard…high fever…body aches…no energy…
…the diagnosis: very bad bronchitis…asthma (never had it before)…trying to rest
…Still very weak…feeling about 95 1/2 years old…trying to get back on top of this…
…It is one of those times…where no matter how old you are…you miss your mom…:/
…Mind over matter…I keep telling myself…this time, matter won…mind is a bit of a mush right now…
….Taking my medicine, like a good girl…trying to rest…should be back on top soon
…Any suggestions to speed the recovery process, dear friend? I could use some

Home made chicken soup with lots of ginger and a dash of lemon. Anyes, this bug is all over town. Hope you will feel better soon. Get someone to make you a home made chicken soup form scratch. Follow what doctor ordered. Take care.
Lovely Husband made soup for all of us and it worked its magic, this and a big nasty tasting set of antibiotics…plus lots of sleep
I hope you did not get it, Perpetua
OOHHH, you poor thing…. yikes, sleeeeeep, rest, drink tons of lemon water and lemon tea…. flush that bad bug out…. hope you feel better soon! cheers!
Sleep, sleep and more sleep…It had been years I did not slpee this way
I am so very sorry that you have been laid low by ill health, and equally glad that you are on the mend. Sleep, sleep and more of it. And lots of fluids. Hot lemon drinks, lemon tea, soup…
I hope your recovery continues apace. Hugs.
You are so sweet
Get well soon Anyes Thinking of you Love Lien

Thank you Lien…I am all better now
So happy to hear that you are on the mend. Drink lots and lots of fluids and continue to REST. Your body is telling you to slow down and take a break!
Yes, I am glad I listened and slept so much…truth be told I am still sleeping so much and enjoying it too
Sorry to hear you’ve been sick! Definitely drink those fluids and rest. No need to try and hurry this, it will work it’s way out and you will feel better soon. I have spent the weekend in the house with similar stuff. It’s frustrating.
It has been such a challenge to rest and to do nothing else, but it was so worth it
Oh Anyes…sorry to hear that! Take good care of yourself and drink lots of fluids so that your body is well hydrated, makes the mucous easier to expel. Enjoy the rest…sometimes it’s our bodies demanding that we rest it well..you know?
Very well said Shree
you’ve already heard the only remedy I know. but my question is…why post at all? you will not lose your readers that easily over a few days of recuperating! rest, my dear!
Exactly what I did and I am glad to have done it
No words of wisdom to speed the healing my friend….it takes its own time and all you can do is rest and be patient. Sleep, take and do whatever the doctor has told you to do and allow your body to heal. Nothing can rush the process. I’m glad that you have taken the time away from blogging to do just that. I wish you a recovery that is full and that it happens when it is ready. And yes, our health is the best wealth there is. Sending good ju ju and healing thoughts. And oh how I agree…when we feel that badly — it is our mother was crave. Put some Vicks’ vaporub on your chest…put some in a vaporizer if you have one….and I’ll sing “soft kitty” to you from here. xoxoxox
It tried something that my aunt shared with me: Vicks on the soles of my feet with socks…I am happy to report it worked
and oh yes…whenever I talk about vaporub….people tell me to put it on the soles of my feet when I’m in bed…apparently that is very healing. I haven’t had occasion to try it yet…but next time I need to I’m going to. It can’t hurt, right? xoxo
I did it and it works
xoxo
My dear Anyes,
Miss you.
Get your rest. Drink fluids. And get lots of {{{Hugs}}}. Just make sure you wash your hands first.
Thank you so much for your kind words Kozo…I missed you too
Sorry you are so sick. Try taking super hot showers w/ doors closed, steam will help your lungs. Also prednisone can help strengthen your lungs too. Hope you get lots of rest and start feeling better soon!
Rest is what is getting me through it all
oh, I hope you feel better soon Anyes, that’s why i don’t see your poem. My suggestion is Gargle with sea salt 2-3 times per day and add fresh squeeze with water for a drink. may make you feel good in a few days. Yes I like to think of my mother when I get sick still she will pan fried pork with garlic and black pepper serve with boiled jasmine rice, or other kind of boiled rice with condiments. When I grew up and get sick my body feel like a spicy soup like Tom yum soup with mushrooms. Sour fruits eat more fresh pineapple dip with salt. Get well tomorrow Anyes
I am so glad to be feeling better now Luksana
Sorry you’re poorly dear Anyes, my only advice is to be kind to yourself…. x
What the doctor ordered, emma
i am just glad you are well…and on the mend…smiles.
feel better soon.

thank you Brian
Anyes you may want to drink hot water, lemon and honey, also run hot water in your sink, lean over the sink, wrap a towel over your head and sink, this should help bring up some of the junk. I understand you wanting your Mom, nobody helps like a mom can. get plenty of rest…..I always like chicken noodle soup. in my house it seems to be the cure for all. hope you feel much better soon.
Chicken soup was the way we went…however what I think helped me so much was the amount of rest I got
Oh poor you! Rest rest rest and drink plenty of fluids. See this time of illness as a time of rest.
Oh no! So sorry to hear that you are sick! Not fun and not allowed to happen to Moms. We don’t have time to get better! Sending you healing thoughts and big hugs.
Be careful not to catch this one Jen…I know it is in the air Thank you so much for your hugs xo:-)
Feel better…soon.
Thank you Elena
Hope you are on the mend!
Yes I am
Feel better soon Anyes! But be sure to gIve your body the rest it needs, along with vitamins, lots of healthy greens, and lots of water and hot tea with lemon.
All those were perfect remedies Rufina
A big kiss for your little auntie xxx and all good vibes!!
Merci xo
My hubby has had a hard time completely shaking off the bug as well- I am so sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly yet too! Rest, sweet one, take whatever time you need to fully heal yourself and just we are all thinking of you!! Hugs to you!
I am still resting a lot more than I ever did before this nasty bug got me…Sending prayers your way and hoping your husband feels better xo
