I wake up this morning hoping that the creeping crud I have in my head and chest would be gone, and that I'd find Bush had been evicted and a new and better day dawning for all nations and peoples. No such luck in either case. I am still sick and I feel a little worse. I won't give you the details other than to say I feel like hell. I especially won't give details about color and consistency of the stuff in my head and chest, as it is pretty gross. I have called the doctor's office again and maybe I can get something stronger to knock this crud down and out. Anyone out there know some good home remedies apart from chicken broth/soup and lots of green tea? Creeping crud aside, I see that the popular vote and electoral votes are in Dubya's favor this Wednesday morning and it looks like the end for the Kerry/Edwards ticket unless a blessed miracle happens in Ohio. Well I am off to make some tea and to lie on the couch watching the remainder of Evangelion today. I made it to episode fourteen yesterday. Thanks again for the loan of the DVDs J&B.
God have mercy on our souls, for we know not what we do.
I hope you feel better brother.

I should have loaned you the movie, too. You'll be screaming for it.
Feel better, my friend.
Posted by: Jeff on November 3, 2004 01:15 PMTry ginger tea...you need:
- ginger root
- apple juice
- honey
- cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and their ilk
Slice up a bunch of the ginger root and make a decoction...that is, boil it in water until it reduces by about a third. Then top it up with apple juice (gets rid of the soapy bitter taste that ginger can have), toss in some spices and let it simmer. Then drink it like mad. Oh, and add honey to taste if it's not sweet enough for you. It will do wonders for clearing you up, but make you have to pee every 5 minutes.

Posted by: Becky on November 3, 2004 05:53 PMwell, it's kind of uplifting to get rid of it - the crud, I mean. You know, when you look in your hanky and think "Oh, no WONDER I felt so horrible!" Keep getting well.

If you've had greenish junk in your sinuses and/or chest for more than three days, you have an infection. You can get antibiotics or try to ride it out. I've had enough sinus infections to know.
Also - NO DAIRY, at least not until you feel better.
