It is 3 AM! I can’t sleep. I had to take some meds. I am very congested, and my throat hurts. It hurts when I swallow.

I’ve been coughing all night, and it hurts to cough.

I can’t breathe through my nose. Earlier I was able to breathe through my nose but now I cant.

I’m dosing myself up with cough syrup, and lemsip with paracetamol in it. If there is one thing I hate, it is not being able to breathe properly.

I hope my PA Trish is going to be at work today. I need her to go to the store for me to get me cough drops, and more lemsips.

For the last hour, I’ve been listening to the rain falling. It is very soothing.

I have a therapy session with Eileen over zoom at 10 AM! I’m debating just staying in my pajamas for it!

I don’t really have the energy to shower, and get dressed, and, I know Eileen won’t mind seeing me in my pajamas!

I don’t really want to do anything except lay here on my bed like a lump until this passes!

It is miserable!

    praying for you dear Carol. Get well soon. Gargle with luke warm water and sea salt. Take vapour. You can drink sea salt water also. Works wonder for me. Forgive me for unasked advice, dear. At 78 it becomes a habit, though I try to control it. Sending you warm hugs and love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
