Improvement, or just the next phase?

Fever broke this morning. (I think. Morning temps tend to be low, but 98.2 is solidly low enough to say the fever really did break, right?) Throat still hurts some -- I'm prone to that.

I'm coughing only a little, I'm not sniffling... if my throat didn't hurt I might suspect I was almost well. But the ONLY person I know of who was sick around me for the last couple weeks is Rob, and if this is what Rob had, I haven't even started the bad part. That'll be chest congestion for a couple of weeks, including a persistent deep phlegmy cough that interrupts sleep; then the fever will come back but the cough won't stop. Past that I don't know -- that's as far as Rob has gotten. He's almost exactly a month ahead of me.

Glad that fever broke!! The rest should follow soon, insha'allah...

Sending you hot tea with lemon and honey, and big hugs!

Insh'allah! I do hope so. I've definitely got gunk in my chest, though.

Thanks for the "care package" -- I bet you can only imagine the amount of sore-throat-soothing tea I've been going through the last couple days!

oooh, that Throat Coat is good stuff. i like to alternate a cuppa hot tea with a glass of ice water for a sore throat. seems to freak out the nerve endings enough to quite 'em down for a bit. plus it keeps me hydrated.

hang in there, and i've got everything crossed that you stay reasonably healthy during your trip!! {{hugs}}

Thanks!

Yeah, it's excellent stuff! Oddly, I cannot abide the taste or the smell of it when I'm healthy, but when I'm sick it's nectar of the gods.

Would you believe I went out and bought two boxes of it today, to bring with me? I really did! Now if only every place I stay has tea-mugs and microwaves.
