Re: AGGGH my throat **Larry and Ellen

[Guest guest]

Hi guys, I admire your view on things. I'm getting there but some days are

harder than others.

Today I had a setback. My throat swelled way up. Got a shot of Decadron

and a prednisone pack.

Well, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

The GP didn't know if it was an infection or Still's. She thought Still's.

The throat swab was negative for strep but she ordered me an antibiotic

anyway. She thought if it helps, great, if not, I see the RD on Wed (2 days)

and

he can decide if I do or don't need it.

OK, I'm beat, hope you are all having a blessed day.

hugs

Jo

Good morning Jo! Honey, I'm so sorry about your throat, how are you

feeling today?

I know, you know about this stuff but the mother inside me won't let

me be quiet so here we go: Ice water, honey. Drink ice water to

keep the pain at a minimum and also it kind of helps with the

swelling. Don't forget you have to eat as well so don't fill up on

water only.

Next I'm going to tell you to wrap your throat with a scarf or

towel. Believe it or not you want to keep the outside warm to help

with the healing (learned that one in voice class).

OK, now I'm going to debunk some typical things people do. NO,

orange juice! It builds phlem, believe it or not. It also does not

deliver enough vitamin C in one glass to warrant a necessity. You

actually have to drink three or four glasses for any beginning of

benefit. If you must drink juice, cranberry, apple, guava, apple

cider are OK, but remember to drink your water as well to wash the

sugar content down.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well Jo. I hope I've helped in some

small way honey. Now, off the computer darling, go get some rest.

Go on, I'll be here when you get back. Go and sleep well.

Take care and be well.
