...when you are healthy, you can't remember how it feels to be ill, and when you are ill you can't remember what it felt like to be healthy. I totally get this, I truly do. For the past week TheHubs™ and I have been laid low by this allergy/cold thingy, and while we are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel, I still feel a bit on the shite side.

Enter [livejournal.com profile] snapebraille4tu, who has an almost uncanny sense of when I could really use a pick-me-up, and sends it to me. Today, Brailleypants' gift came by way of an adorable card, covered in Halloween stickers, addressed in her beautiful handwriting (I could just sit and watch her write all day, nutmeen?), wishing me a happy Halloween, a wonderful month, and accompanying it was a series of inspirational photos. This lady should do THIS for a living.




Thank you, Brailleypants, for thinking of me in this considerate and loving way. You are so awesome!

They are RIGHT. I remember when I was getting better after a year of illness... The first headache-free day in probably 17 or 18 months. It was a MIRACLE. I sort of like getting sick now, since there's that whole "I know I'll get better!" feeling that's just brilliant.

Gosh, those photos are lovely. [livejournal.com profile] snapebraille4tu is such a talent, and more than that, such a lovely person!

I hope you're feeling better, Teddy. Happy October!

Bless your heart! I am a whiney baby unfit for polite society after a week of being ill. I am so glad you are better!

Brailleypants is so wonderful. It was a happy day when she arrived in our little corner of fandom friendship.

Happy October to you too, dear! ♥

Its seems the older you get, the harder that stuff hits. If I get an allergy it becomes full blown bronchitis. Just that coughing is enough to exhaust you and delay your ability to heal.

I'm so glad you and TheHubs(trademarkthingy) are feeling better! Thoughtful things such as brailleypants sent you do as much to heal as good old Niquil.

I have to be careful of the exact same thing. The cough is lessening and is more productive now, and even though I'm still blowing my nose a great deal, what's coming out is clear again. I know, too much TMI!

Yes, Mucinex and Theraflu are our best friends. Well, that, and tons of water.

Ha ha ha! I am all about the clear snot. When it's opaque, you know you're in trouble.

Do you saline rinse or neti pot? They're beautiful.

I really hope you and The Hubs are feeling better. What the heck was it? When I was a kid, they called nonspecific ailments "the creeping crud."

The way it hit so hard and fast, I think it was allergies. A lot of people around here said they got the same symptoms really quickly. I mean, literally. I was fine one minute, then the next my throat was scratchy and raw (to the point where orange juice stung like acid!). Then the coughing, runny nose and general achy-ness set in. I still have a bit of a cough, and my nose is still stuffy, but everything that's coming out is clear now (I realise that's TMI) so we're on the downside now - I hope!

Sorry you've been under the weather. That truly sucks! At least you have an awesome (and intuitive) friend.

I hope you and TheHubs continue to feel better. I had something like that and ended up in the ER twice. The tests they did ruled out influenza or a bacterial infection, but it was a god-aweful virus that sapped all my strength. My daughter had to come stay with me for several days.

[livejournal.com profile] snapebraille4tu is a real sweetheart, isn't she? And very talented to boot!

Glad to hear that you are getting better, but I was more worried that maybe Matthew caused some turmoil around you. We got off with just some rain (which we needed) and a bit of wind. Fortunately no flooding, as we are below sea level here in Delaware, and all those so-called "evacuation roads" are generally the first to be underwater in a heavy rain.
