Holidays are coming soon. Everyone is looking forward to holidays. But why must it now? =( Getting sick during such time is really not a right timing. Now having high fever, with sore throat, and my running nose with watery eyes is killing me. How i wish to recover soonest possible before the break starts. Oh no...i would not want to spoil my holidays in bed.
Do you faced such situation whereby you fall sick at the wrong timing?
If you do, i wish you speedy recovery, as i understand how it feels lying on bed when everyone is enjoying themselves outdoor. Have a good day all.

Hi Lakota12, thank you very much for your wishes. I do hope to recover soonest possible and get out of bed. It is really a torture to be in bed and eating medicine. It makes my head feel heavy and being so uncomfortable. You are right, it is really not good to be sick through the holidays, wish i can get better soon. Have a nice day friend. =)

It really sucks to be ill during the holidays. While everyone is celebrating, you had to stay in bed. I don't usually fall ill and so I don't experience being ill during any of the holidays. I guess it must be because I feel that my family needs me and I try to take care of myself so that I don't fall ill. I'm sure by now you're all well. Take care of yourself.

Hi UmiNoor, sorry for the late reply. Yes, it's true that it feels really bad to be sick during holidays. 
It is only during the holidays we get to go out with family to have some fun. Good for you that you stay healthy and not getting sick, this is very good. Keep it up. I wish i can be like you, having a stronger immune system. Yes, i am well now. Thanks for the concern. 
Have a nice day.

With any luck you will feel better before the holidays. One year I was ill right before the holidays and that was the worst. There is soo much to do, and you don't feel like doing anything but sleeping. Feel better soon!@joycseer (845)

Better not be sick, when your working in an office where they pay double when you go to work, its deffinitely a good extra income. i love holidays because i got to get extra pay and im not working too hard. Less work as well, what else can i ask for.

Hi iMamom, thank you for your suggestion. That would suit you, and good for you. =) Well, i guess that does not work for me as i am an admin staff in a corporate company. Hence, i do not need to work during public holidays. So, there is no double pay for my case. =) Thanks for your wishes, i am hoping to recover soonest too.

I really wish i can recover soonest...i don't want to stay like this, so torturing. =( But i still thank you very much for your wishes and care. Have a good day. =)

Hi cher913, thank you for dropping by this discussion. Sorry to hear your daughter got sick that your whole family have to skip the fun. Yes, it is true that when a child is sick, normally is difficult to plan to go anywhere. But i wish you this year to be a fun year for your family to go outing together. Maybe you can give them some vitamin C to boost their immune system so that they don't get sick easily. My parents and friends thought me that. There is a mylotter here who advise me that too. =)

I'm one that usually gets sick either when I start my vacation from work or during holiday season. So far this year I haven't gotten really sick just bronchitis and laryngitis but ever since then I been quite healthy. I'm hoping it stays that way because last Christmas I was really sick & couldn't enjoy myself. I would like to enjoy myself this year since I have the whole week off from work.

Hi gitfiddleplayer, yes you are absolutely right. This is really no good and wrong timing. Thank you for your kind concern. I really wish my flu and fever will go away. Getting sick is not a resting for me at all...after recovery and get back to work will be very tiring for me. Sigh...

In my case it is better for me to make it during holidays rather than having sick during work days because what I am avoiding is the fact of being absent. There is no such thing that I can file a sick leave because I am still under probation at the office. So chances are if I am absent then I won't be paid. If I am sick during holidays then at least that can be my chance to go at the hospital for the check up.

Hi Metatronik, yes for your case, it is better to get sick during holidays or weekends when you are not working since you are still on probation. This is because you have no option, otherwise you would loose your pay and it is not worth for sure. When i was a probation staff, i too would choose to see doctor during weekends to avoid being absent during working days. =)

Hi bjc66bjc, thank you for the kind concern. Yes, my sore throat is slowly recovering. Currently just my runny nose with watery eyes that causes me dizzy and uncomfortable. I cannot get in touch with any wind or cool air, especially air-condition. Wonder how can i be able to go to work tomorrow. =( Anyway, will hope for the best and wish it will go away soon. =)

Hi 911Ricki, it is okay and thank you very much for your concern. It has been three days since i lie in bed, somehow it has not gotten any better except my throat is recovering slightly. The flu and watery eyes is making me dizzy and uncomfortable. I think it must have been because of my stress and tiredness accumulated from my work. Anyway, i wish you a good day, and stay healthy all the time. =)

That's sad that you got sick on a holiday. You are supposed to be enjoying it, like going to the sea, doing something interesting but not resting in bed because you are sick.
Maybe yo should eat more veggies and take some vitamins. Drink lots of water too and do some exercise. That way, you will be sure that you will not get sick again my friend.

Hi SIMPLYD, yes you are right. I was really anticipating for the coming holidays, but instead such dilemma befalls me. @.@ Oh my... I kept sneezing the whole day through...it feels really bad on the head, eye, nose and body. Yup, i need to take vitamins and drink more water. Thank you very much for the advise. Have a happy weekend, and enjoy yourself dear friend! =)

I have same experience with you. I got lying on bed. Very sad. I remember, that was new year holiday. But I can't go any where, Just sleep and watch TV every day. Very boring. But I don't know what have to say. I try to enjoy when I was sick in new year

Oh too bad! Such a wrong timing for being sick. Such a spoiler. I cannot recall a holiday that I was sick. But I did one time didn't get to enjoy much of New Years Eve, just last year, because that time I was actually pregnant. And my doctor advised me not to stress myself too much since the baby is in his stage of development. So, technically I'm not sick but I was told not to do much during a festive holiday.But I didn't mind since I'm thinking of the needs of the baby first.
I do hope you feel well and I hope that flu go away :)

Hi lizlee, yes you do understand well this feeling. It is really such a spoiler and wrong timing to be sick now. Oh, congratulations upon having your baby! =) Being pregnant is not easy, i heard it is quite dangerous to be sick especially during pregnancy because you couldn't take medication as it would harm the fetus. But glad that you were not sick, and you have a healthy baby. =) Thank you very much for your wishes, yes, i hope this flu will disappear soonest because it is giving me much pain. :S
