I was worried about my eye and said, "If my eye stays like this forever, will you still love me?" LOL! I was totally serious though. It scares me. I don't want my eye to look like this forever! Of course, he said yes.<BR/><BR/><B>rowing and sowing</B>:<BR/>Wow! It happened to you when you were in labor???

Either way, so sorry you've been under the weather and had this "double incident." My eye got like that only one time. (To give you an idea of how hard you were coughing - when my eye got like that, it was when I was in labor!) <BR/><BR/>I think if I'm ever offered a Fisherman's Friend, I'll have to decline! <BR/><BR/>Wishing you a speedy come-back.

I hope you feel better really soon and that your eye clears up even faster.<BR/><BR/>A virus followed me home too and I've had some coughing fits which have ripped up the inside of my throat. I've been sounding like a really hot and sexy lady let me tell you. I'm not telling you think so you feel like you have company but more to thank you.

Hubby and one of my girlfriends were saying at supper tonight that it would be neat if I took a photo of my eye. I was thinking "Uhhhh...NO!"<BR/><BR/>They seem to think that my eye is really fascinating. They went on to discuss all the different components of the human eye. I'd blame their gross fascination with eye balls on them being farm kids. She's a nurse, so she loves this gross stuff even more! <BR/><BR/>You know me and what a wuss I am!<BR/><BR/><B>Karen</B>:<BR/>Yeah, this one pretty much takes the cake. At least you can now tell Ian that there's someone out there who is worse than you! There's someone who actually knocked herself on the old noggin' while choking on a Fisherman's Friend! LOL! So sad.<BR/><BR/>Funny you mentioned the puffer! The doc told me that I might have to use one. I have one, but haven't had to use it. <BR/><BR/>That photo isn't of my eye, but mine looks very much like that one. Pretty freaky.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, an eye patch would look sexy...though some people can pull it off. I don't think I'm one of those people!

Okay, Ian thought I was bad with my coughing, choking, but I've never knocked myself out and given myself a red eye (despite almost suffocating on NOTHING during my coughing...)<BR/><BR/>Do you think you need puffer? I ended up having to be on one... I had my stupid cough for almost 4 months; couple times I woke up gasping for air in the middle of the night. Not fun.<BR/><BR/>You take good care of yourself, and have that husband of your protect you from yourself, OK? <BR/><BR/>(glad that isn't your eye ... yuck!

I am so sorry you are not well, and feeling so badly, and I am very glad your mom did get you to the hospital!!<BR/><BR/>I was away last week, and of course, while I was gone, my kids all got sick with this same type of flu that you have, courtesy of my dh. He was coughing like crazy, and I have heard this rumour about slathering Vicks Vapo rub all over your feet, putting a pair of socks on, and that helps stop the coughing. Well, it worked really well for us!<BR/><BR/> Dh has asthma as well as developing bronchitis, and we did this at night, and his cough was gone. He coughed like crazy during the day when he refused to go out smelling like Vicks though... <BR/><BR/>It is the only thing that helped our 5 year old, it really settled him down, and nothing usually works for him.<BR/><BR/>Get well really soon!!! I'll be in touch soon!<BR/>Love,<BR/>EllieElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048820039014634761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-24458055700413792192008-04-30T08:44:00.000-04:002008-04-30T08:44:00.000-04:00oh you poor thing chris! your having such a rough ...oh you poor thing chris! your having such a rough time with that nasty whatever you have. that eye is really scary! get better soonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-77617583804354426672008-04-30T06:26:00.000-04:002008-04-30T06:26:00.000-04:00Jeeeshhhh?
