Kick Out The Germs!


Bacterium Print by waterbears.


I just want to say "Thank you!" to all my well-wishers who have wished me a speedy recovery here, through email, and on Twitter, and give everyone an update. ♥

.

I came down with a chest cold this past week (the second cold this month!) that progressed into bronchitis and pharyngitis despite my resting and overloading on vitamin C, soups, and garlic. But no worries! I went to the doctor earlier today and am armed with antibiotics and some heavy duty cough syrup. I hate to take antibiotics, but the next step down is pneumonia. I'm actually really excited about getting well! After I do, I'm going to send my immune system back into training, Rocky-style ("Getting strong now..."), and make some actual outfit posts that will reveal the current state of my hair (Spoiler Alert!). I also have some great things in store for you guys, so check back soon!

    Glad to hear you’re getting better! I’ve had a bit of a blogging slump due to similar illness, but thankfully I don’t tend to post photos of me so it didn’t matter too much that I was a red-nosed pale ghost coughing and spluttering in a dressing gown whilst writing most of my posts last week!

    It’s good to hear you’re doing better honey! Get lots and lots of rest, and I’m glad you’re taking the meds to keep yourself healthy–pneumonia doesn’t sound fun!

    That doesn’t sound like any fun.

    I’ve had the same thing happen to me. Cold progresses to bronchitis. I even came down with pneumonia once.

    I hope you get better!
