It has been a really bad season for illnesses in our house this winter. From infected ears, fingers, skin and colds, I have had a lot of time off work. One of the pitfalls of being a single parent is that if your child is sick, you are the one who has to look after them. And if you are sick yourself, there's not a whole lot that you can do about that either. For the first time since I was 18 I have run out of sick leave. The first year out of school I ran out (I may have chucked one or two sickies!) but since then never ran out.
This time last month I posted about my ills then. Now, I have tonsilitis. The irony is that I haven't ever really suffered from this. When they were teenagers my sister and brother both used to suffer from it a lot, but not me.
I am supposed to go back to work tomorrow but we'll see. At the moment it still hurts to swallow, but not as badly as it did a couple of days ago.
Get well soon, Marg!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. Are you at least getting a lot of reading done?
ReplyDeleteNot really. Because it hurts to swallow I get a little distracted everytime I do! That, and I keep on falling asleep! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAww! So many bloggers are getting sick lately. I had my tonsils removed when I was 16 (which made it even harder to get better afterwards) because I kept getting sick all of the time. I hope you get better soon! Eat soup and read lots of book!
ReplyDeleteOh Marg I hope you get better soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. I have never had it, but hear it's pretty rubbish.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon, Marg! I used to get tonsilitis pretty often when I was younger, so I know how annoying it is. Once I spend a whole week without being able to swallow :/
ReplyDeleteThe only problem is that you can't not swallow!
ReplyDeleteMarg - I'm sorry that you're sick but I hope you get better real soon. Why not go rest up in bed with some good books *grin*.
ReplyDeleteAre you taken lot of medicine?
I often have throat/tonsil problems. I feel for you!! I hope you feel better soon!

I was a single parent for 6 years, so I know exactly what you mean! It's tough, but hang in there and I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh...that sucks! I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI was off work for 3 days this week. Of course, it was due to my own clumsiness. I was playing around with the girls, and I fell. Hard. Into the door frame. I thought I broke my arm. Luckily it wasn't broken. But it's all kinds of black and blue and purple now. Hurts like the dickens too.
Sending you some healing vibes! Feel better Marg.
ReplyDeleteHi Marg, I hope you'll get better soon. Being sick is really no fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm also getting allergy for the first time and still am trying to heal. It's been two weeks...
Heal fast and will be praying for you too.
Alice, your allergies sound particularly nasty. Hope they clear up soon!
ReplyDeleteMarg,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. What a royal pain.
Get well soon!!
Oh, no! Hope you get better soon. I've had tonsillitis and it's no fun. Bummer about the sick leave. Here's wishing you recover quickly and the rest of the year is an improvement!
ReplyDeleteI brought home a cold of sorts from MWF too Marg. But I think Sunnie brought it from Tassie. Drat the generosity of friends.
ReplyDeletePS I like the giraffe cartoon :-)
ReplyDeleteI liked it too! I had to go find a new feeling sick picture because I couldn't use the same one so close together! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Marg,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you feel badly. I hope you get better soon! *sending healing waves your way*
