THE GERM GOT ME

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker

This week has been a toughie with a big sinus infection that moved down into my chest. It was so weird that when I went to bed I sounded like me, but when I woke up, my voice sounded like a man’s. 

I know there is a lot of bacteria and bugs going around so I just continued to cough and feel rotten.

I literally coughed  all the time and my head felt like it was gonna fall off. 

I had a music gig on Thursday and after getting all polished up, I decided go.  It went good, but following that then I headed over to Ohio Health’s North clinic. Once they took my vitals, and yes I had a fever, they proceeded to tell me to sit still and relax.

The nurse came back in and they had prescribed me antibiotics and hopefully I will be up and at ‘em in no time. 

My gramma probably  would not get antibiotics for our illnesses, but she would have been busy warming up milk and making toast for hot milk toast, and have this stuff called musterole which was a tube of the awfullest smelly and hottest thing on earth! In fact, if you see any anywhere, get me a tube ‘cause I think they quit making it.

Then me some of your old tried and true cold remedies and I will give you A Penny For Your Thoughts!
