I weighed myself today, I've lost 4 lbs - I wouldn't recommend the diet, but it's one side effect I won't complain too much about! I'm going to try a proper meal tonight, Chris is cooking, quiche and mash - should be plain enough. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/3#post-465327 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:12:20 +0000 Karenopa 465327@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wow MCW...this bug of yours has really taken hold of you! Please don't hurry back to work until you're feeling 100% well! LOL! .."hoovered up 3 dishes of food so far"... Way to go Harry!! =D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/3#post-465324 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:08:29 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 465324@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, we are feeling a little brighter again today. Yes, we. Harry's been off his food for a couple of days, Chris took him tot he vet this morning and it turns out he's got a cold too. He got a couple of shots and is almost back to normal, has hoovered up 3 dishes of food so far today. Maybe I should go to the vets!!!! I was up for a few hours around lunchtime, but cam back to bed mid afternoon. I'm now going to try and get/stay up for the evening. I was hoping to be back at work on Monday, but unless I get a miracle shot from the vet, am starting to think this unlikely...we shall see what tomorrow brings. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-465151 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:15:30 +0000 Rubia in CA, 4/28 465151@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh NO! I just saw this! I'm so sorry you are so sick, MCW. Please do take everyone's advice and stay in bed, get lots of rest, and take your meds - including all the wonderful home remedies the rest have been recommending!</p> <p>Get better soon! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-465126 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:18:24 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 465126@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Take care MCW. Swine flu is awful so don't treat it like it's a cold or man flu you have to take it seriously, stay in bed, lots of fluids, take your anti-virals (although some doctors say they're useless) and eat soft foods when you feel like it. Take parecetamol every 4 hours and try to sleep as much as you can. You must stay off work for at least a week because you're infectious for that long. Now be good.</p> <p>No-one said the liquids/fluids couldn't include alcohol............. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464966 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:36:31 +0000 Kilroy 464966@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{{{MCW}}} Boo on these evil bugs. I assume I don't even have to ask if you're taking all your meds like a good girl? Please, please take care of yourself. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464965 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:34:40 +0000 Jadete in TN 464965@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>feel better soon MCW.

And if the headache does not clear soon, you may want to go in for followup... In some people the flu can cause an encephalitis...but the antivirals should keep that from happening! SM is right, tho', watch out for a secondary bacterial pneumonia! Take care, and hugs to you and Mr MCW and all the kits! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464743 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:57:04 +0000 SoxsMom 464743@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I think that is the best idea yet!!

You obviously need a nurse! If you can arrange for the Queen to send her private jet, I can be there by morning! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464729 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:40:23 +0000 SoxsMom 464729@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Then sweet dreams to you and total darkness--heal well my friend! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464718 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:19:25 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 464718@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi SM :o) Nope, over here once you've go the anti virals you're assumed to be heading in the right direction unless you go back and tell them otherwise. I'm not taking any risks, am being sensible and staying off work tomorrow. I know if I don't I could easily go backwards, and there's no way I'm reliving this week again! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464717 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:13:16 +0000 SoxsMom 464717@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Please be careful MCW! My doctor just ordered a chest x-ray and said I have pneumonia. I know you have anti-virals, but if you are feeling better are you supposed to be seen by your GP? Prayers that some good rest and no lights restore you to full health quickly! My prayers are with you. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464712 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:03:37 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 464712@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oink oink littermates. Have actually managed to stay out of bed for a couple of hours this evening, eaten something moderately more substantial than Muller Rice and even - gasp! - had a bath. Well, I was getting pretty manky. All of that has worn me out and I'm back in bed again, but feeling a lot more human than I was. The most horrible thing has been a heavy band of pain/nausea that settles over my eyes, wasn't getting any respite at all from it, so couldn't read or stand anything like bright lights (had tv on low but couldn't actually watch it) - now getting a few hours off per dose of paracetamol, so taking the chance to update and catch up. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464678 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:22:10 +0000 Pika 464678@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>LOL at Cheri - totally agree with that. PM I would be really really up for a UK Xmas meet. GREAT PLAN!<br /> Poor MCW hope you are better soon. Oh, Will be in the Nottingham Goldsmith Premier Inn next Wed night with work like I text you, If you are well by then and not busy then a quick glass of wine in the bar would go down a treat!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464677 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:21:15 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 464677@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Be careful with that stuff Cheri! When I had bronchitis in May, I had the cough medicine with codeine. One night, instead of getting up and getting a spoon and measuring, I just took a small swig. Never NEVER doing that again. I was overdosed myself. We had company and I tried to go to an art fair with everyone the next morning. I ended up throwing up in the gutter. Hubby took me home and it took another 7 hours to get out of my system! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464676 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:17:09 +0000 CSBM 464676@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>i like codeine for my cough medicine, but vicodin works too. they both tell my brain not to give a sh** about anything... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464671 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:08:07 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 464671@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW, how are you feeling today? You sounded so c**p when you last posted. Is Nurse Eric still caring for you or has he left it to Chris now. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464668 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:53:36 +0000 lisaeylau 464668@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW, there IS a cough medicine that doesn't taste like...</p> <p>It's wasn't invented in the 21st century...it was invented in the backwoods of Kentucky...in the 18th century. It's called bourbon. You mix it with lemon juice and some sugar. It works!!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464639 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:10:20 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 464639@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Does Chris need any chicken soup recipes? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464629 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:42:12 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 464629@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hey MCW - grown a curly tail and started grunting yet?</p> <p>Seriously, get well soon and take good care of yourself in the meantime. </p> <p>I suppose this means Saturday is definitely off. :( Oh, well never mind.

You sound dreadfully ill! Please take care and eat lots of homemade chicken soup..can Mr. MCW make chicken soup? Get lots of rest, keep warm and drink lots of fluids! *do I sound like a broken record?* Saying a prayer and sending lots of white light for a full recovery hon! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464611 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:52:55 +0000 Puddytat 464611@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW!!!! If you have lung/breathing problems see a physician ASAP! Abbey shamed me into going to the doc today. Smart call and lucky me. No H1N1 for me but infectious bronchitis and pnumonia! Yikes, I'm so glad I went. Please do not ignore breathing problems. Sending lots of good thoughts and hopes for you getting better very soon. All the kitties send head bonks and hopes for you feeling better. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464475 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:32:34 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 464475@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I hope you are feeling better, MCW. As CM says, being sick "sucks monkey toes!" :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464456 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:32:12 +0000 nawlins catmom 464456@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW - glad you did the assessment and are getting the antivirals - they should cut the duration of the symptoms by a few days. But - if you continue with substantial lung involvement and/or your fever spikes again, you may have a secondary infection and need to see a doc ASAP. I know Mr. MCW will take good care of you, and hopefully the kits will get with the program and start being of more assistance! Hugs! Hope you feel better very soon! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464384 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:40:21 +0000 WillowandWindismom 464384@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>There's never a good time to be sick, MCW. But it's way better for you to be at home than to go to work and spread all that "cheer". It's awful being sick! Sending you lots of hugs (thankfully long distance)! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464380 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:27:32 +0000 Buttercup 464380@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>[[[[MCW]]]] I hope you feel better soon. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22432/page/2#post-464378 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:23:42 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 464378@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Unfortunately it was the Bank that bounced the salary cheque... </p>
