For almost ten days now I’ve been confined to bed with a devastating flu and a raging sinus infection which have completely wasted me. ( I call bullshit on the flu shot!)
Thankfully some much needed antibiotics are finally helping me to start feeling like a human being again.
Nothing like being really sick to make you realize all of the things you take for granted daily.
I hope to be back to regular programming next week.
In the meantime I’ll leave you with a photo of my nurse maid Zoë.
What she lacks in nursing motivation and skills she makes up for in warm cuddles and unconditional love.
Please follow and like us:
Suzanne! I am so glad you are getting better and hope you will feel like yourself soon. Drink lots of tea, rest, and enjoy the warmth and cuddles from your absolutely adorable nurse hehe. xoxo Zuma

I’m so sorry Suzanne!
Rock on Zoe!!
I do hope you will feel better, soon, Suzanne. Flu does knock you for six. I had it two years running in the mid 90s and I have never felt so rotten in my whole life!
Zoe looks like she’s doing a great job at warming your blankets for you…
Ohh, I’m so sorry Suzanne.
No one likes feeling awful, but at least Zoe can provide you comfort!!

Warm cuddles are good medicine ! I had one too, it was awful. I took a z pack and then used by personal steamer , by Mabis Health care RX’ed by my ENT, and added oil of oregano , sweet orange and eucalyptus . It helped; the hot steam kills germs and the oils are antiseptic. . I would have gotten pneumonia being immune suppressed, and i got better, so I am passing this along. I also took probiotics with the z pack..
I hope this helps!

Feel better! <3

I sympathize — really, because I’ve had some kind of illness for the past two weeks, too. Being sick sucks. I hope you feel better soon. The world needs you!
I hope you’ll be all better real soon! I’ve also been battling a really bad cold for over a week now, and it’s no fun…
Your nurse is too cute!
🙂 Get well soon, dear Suzanne!
xoxoxo 🙂
Love the pic of Zoe …. cuddles from my Pug always help me! Feel better soon!
get well soon, dear lady!
your nurse maid is stealing the show, once more! ohhh, she’s cute!
besos
Poor Suzanne, I keep my fingers crossed you will be better soon! On a positive note, you’re lucky to have such a cuddly nurse maid! xxx
Oh Suzanne, this just sucks – I’m so sorry! I remember having the flu last year and was sick for at least 10 days (I had not had the flu shot). It’s horrible, especially when you are by yourself and there’s no one to make you soup. I’m glad you have Zoe for cuddles, and I hope you feel much better soon.
Oh Zoe – that face :)! I’m so sorry you’ve been sick. Sending healing vibes your way!
Hope you get back to full strength soon Suzanne. I had flu last Christmas and it wiped me out for two weeks. Do try to be patient and make the most of all the love and attention that is being lavished on you!
Your readers miss you x

Oh no, so sorry you’ve had the lurgy! It sounds awful. Hope you’re recovering ok, take it easy! X
Oh no! Hope you’re on the mend, now! The flu can be so terrible! Hope your nurse is performing her duties well!
Ugh. I know exactly what you’re going through. I was just sick for a month, pretty much right through the holidays and beyond. Thought that horrible plague would never go away. You are so right about the being sick and taking things for granted. It really does make you do some serious reflecting.
And, like your Zoe, my two kitties were more than happy to install themselves in my bed for moral support.
Hope you feel better very soon.
Hope you are feeling better by now. Warm pug cuddles did the trick, I’m sure.
Get well soon dear!
I hope you feel better soon, dear Suzanne… you are right, being sick shows things that we sometimes take for granted… I am sure that Zoe is a source of love and understanding! She is really super sweet and I hope that soon you can do all the things that you normally do, without any sinus problem – that must be really bad, so I am sending you good vibes! Hugs, dear, regards! Bisous!

My goodness, ten days! That is an awefully long time. I only stayed in bed three days. You must have had a bacterial infection too (as antibiotics don’t work on virusses. Did you know that?).
I am glad your are on the mend now. Dangerous thing.

Don’t read this! You should be in bed. Or not. Sounds like you have passed the height of the misery – I do hope so. I’m glad Zoe is there for companionship and administering copious amounts of healing love. Hugs, Suzanne. xoxo
Hope you’re feeling heaps better and getting back to normal, healthy living. xx
I am so happy you’re feeling better! I’m also happy you have someone so sweet to look after your pug-cuddle needs in times like these. Give her a little smooch for me.
