Yay to driving again! I started last week and just knowing I can leave the house whenever I want makes all the difference.

I had a really relaxing day yesterday and am feeling quite a bit better this morning, I still have a sore throat but not feeling so many aches thank goodness!
Allycat yes it's exiting to be hopefully mobile this week, I wasn't feeling too good yesterday so I didn't give it a try but maybe today............

Hot lemon drinks for that sore throat Littlejem xx

 

[Littlejem]

Will do and thanks Poppet x

 

[Poppet]

You are very welcome..

Hi Littlejem so glad you are feeling a little better today .I had hot lemon drinks with a teaspoon of Manuka honey 3 times a day when I had my sore throat before the surgery And it seemed to help as the honey has antibacterial properties. I must admit I also added a little whiskey for the night time one which probably did nothing but made me feel better and of course I wasn't taking codeine then.

 

[Littlejem]

The throat thing is just hanging around now, I don't have the special honey but I will try the lemon drink with normal honey, thanks. x

Lemons are alkalizing when ingested and when we have a virus our bodies are usually in an acidic state..

 

[Littlejem]

Thanks Poppet just had some lemon and honey, really nice and very soothing.

 

[Poppet]

Excellent

 

[Littlejem]

I took my car out today, I didn't go far, just up the road for probably 5-10 mins but it was ok so hoping to go out again soon and maybe a bit further next time!!

Hey Littlejem
I went out for the first time yesterday and finally got my hair done and about a half of the length cut off! It was so nice out and I really enjoyed the freedom! My family finally got over that virus only to have my little one and myself come down with fever this week, Ugghhh...... I wonder how long this one is going to stay around. I certainly hoping your over your cold. I think I'm going to try some of these teas with lemon and honey. Yum!

 

[Littlejem]

Hi Weezi I bet it feels really good, I love having my hair cut and coloured, it just lifts your spirits doesn't it? Oh no not a fever, you really been through it these last few weeks haven't you? I am feeling a lot better although I still have a husky voice so something is still happening, no sign of a proper cold though thank goodness.
The lemon and honey was very soothing, I just squeezed fresh lemon into a cup of hot water and added honey, very tasty!! take care xx

 

[Poppet]

Lemon juice in your hot water, honey, crush a clove of garlic (if you are not on blood thinning meds), pinch of ginger powder, and a very, very tiny pinch of cayenne pepper.. You have an antibiotic in a mug

 

[Littlejem]

Went to work today, kind of!! I did a short training session for the coming May elections that I'm employed to help out with, it was only an hour but it felt good to be out. I am going into my work place tomorrow though, I'll just do a couple or three hours but it'll be nice to catch up and see how much work I have piled up.

 

[Kim22]

Great news Littlejem you did well today I bet its great to start your journey back to normal life.

 

[Littlejem]

Thanks Kim22 it does, until the next time of course!!

 

[Anniepops]

Hi Llttlejem, it's wonderful that you got to have a little drive, isn't it just the best feeling to be back behind the wheel, it made me feel so happy and independant

Hope work goes okay tomorrow, remember not to push yourself too much

Take care

Ann

 

[Littlejem]

Thanks Anniepops x
had a half hour drive to work with no problems and stayed about 3 1/2 hours, it was good to see everyone and to see just how much work I was coming back to!! I'm lucky that everyone is very accommodating and just really pleased to see me and not in a 'we need you to get on with your work' type of way!! I'll have a day off tomorrow, I have a physio/hydro pool appt and go back in to work on Thursday.

 

[Teacat]

Wonderful that you went to work and then you could have the next day off! Way to ease back into it! Hope you weren't too tired! It will be great to get back into a routine!
