Aw Man, I*Can't* Be Sick For Vacation!:-( email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. katiedoubleu (2953)   ranked 94 out of 5,395 in travel1 year ago

Well... I can't believe I'm having to say this! It's nearly time to head out on my road trip and I think I'm going to be sick. sad sad

I've had a sore throat for a few days and now today I've been having shots of pain through my ears and I'm starting to feel lethargic. This can't be happening!

Discussion: Have you ever been sick for vacation? Did you still enjoy it? Have to cancel? Grin and bear it? Mine can't be cancelled so I'm just hoping this goes away. I've been taking EmergenC and Airborne for more than a week now... Durn lot of good that did. surrender

I can not recall being sick on a trip or vacation time.
I time it for when I know I'll be healthy it seems.
Hope you feel better soon also.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Thanks, Bob... I know things to do for sore throat, but this stabbing pain in my ears is getting really annoying and I haven't a clue what to do for that.

Timing vacation for when you'll be healthy... you oughtta bottle that, my friend! happy

I'll definitely add my wish for the same... I want to be too stubborn for that but... well when I get back it will be time for Thanksgiving and then Christmas prep, so there is absolutely no TIME to be sick! thumbdown

Hi katiedoubleu.
Bummer. Sounds like your body is working up to something. I think I'd go to the doctor today, get the antibiotics and start getting better asap.

I can't think of a time I was ever sick on a vacation. Gosh, I am sorry that is happening to you. Take care. Let us know how it goes.


myLot reputation of 98/100. katiedoubleu (2953)   ranked 94 out of 5,395 in travel  1 year ago

Thanks, PearlGrace... I'll be doing everything I can think of to get past this in the next couple of days. I'm not really a doctor person for something like this, though. I'm hoping it won't need antibiotics. happy

Oh no!

Don't give in to it. Fight it in your mind as well as with whatever you need to do to 'bulk up' your resistance.

Think of yourself as feeling wonderful. Don't overdo it, make sure you get your rest, but don't just curl up and give in to the 'woe is me'.

I hope you're feeling better and can enjoy your vacation. Where ya going?


myLot reputation of 98/100. katiedoubleu (2953)   ranked 94 out of 5,395 in travel  1 year ago

Mornin' Ldyjarhead... If there's one thing I'm not, it's a "woe is me" person... I'd never do something like that... total waste of time. happy

I'm bulking up with C and Zinc and I'm sure that even if the stabbing in the ears continues, I won't even notice it when I get back to my beloved coastal Florida. happy

I very rarely get a chance to go on a vacation so that doesn't happen, but, just before I went on a vacation in 2005, I was very very sick, I thought I would not be well by the time came, but I was miraculously well, and it was the best time that I ever had.


myLot reputation of 98/100. katiedoubleu (2953)   ranked 94 out of 5,395 in travel  1 year ago

I'm so very glad to hear that you recovered in time to enjoy your vacation! I'm sure it will be the same for me. happy

Want me to put on my nurses outfit and rush over and play the day and night nurse to you my dear friend? I was sick on vacation, when I went to Prague once, I went down with food poisoning and I had to stay in my room at the time it was awful and it spoilt it, I've always gone even though I've felt a little ill because the rest itself or the relaxation and certainly the fresh air and ocean has helped a great deal. Have you had a long hot soak in the bath, that is a great remedy, to burn and sweat out the germs. Just a thought. I want you to be well enough for your vacation you are quite excited about it, do you think all the excitement and build up to it has made your immune system low? Make sure you have a few days of complete rest and relaxation my friend so that you can build yourself up and make yourself stronger for your trip! Wolfie hugs xxx


myLot reputation of 98/100. katiedoubleu (2953)   ranked 94 out of 5,395 in travel  1 year ago

Well now I'd be a fool to pass up a WolfieNurse, wouldn't I!? So sure, don the outfit and come on over. Do you make chicken soup? No, not the canned kind! w00t

Food poisoning in Prague? Well now doesn't that just stink to high heaven? sad You need to go back in soak it all in this time!

I've not had a soak yet, no... but it's not a bad idea and I just may do that... and use the space heater so I don't get a chill. That*does* sound marvelous!

Maybe all the excitement wore me down, yes. I remember talking with you about it more than a month ago, so who knows. If it's that, though, I must really be a weakling. blush


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (13928)   ranked 5 out of 5,395 in travel  1 year ago

Just found my passport, I'll be straight over, wait for me and I'll accompany you on your vacation, I love travelling! Oh and I will hit you with my stethoscope you are NOT weak, far from it! Enjoy your soak my friend and together we'll have you on the right road, the road to recovery!!!!
