I started getting a scratchy throat Saturday on the way home from the trip. It wasn't horrible, but every day it's a little more insistent. Woke up today with chest/sinus congestion and a cough. Oh great! Should have started the elderberry syrup Saturday, but better late than never. I got that going this morning along with hot green tea, lots of vitamin C. Tonight I'll use Vicks w/heating pad on my chest. Would rather not see a doc (who has time?) if I can help it, but I won't be dumb about it. If it gets worse, I'll get myself checked out at some point in between DH's appts.

Took DH to an emergency dental visit yesterday - he broke a tooth. Have a cardiologist appt today and an appt with his sleep doc Friday. Tuesday it's back to the dentist for the extraction of the broken tooth and two root canals/caps. Had to reschedule an appt with his endocrinologist for that. Looks like I won't be getting a break, so I better buck up and overcome this mess. The natural humidity we have helps. I feel better outside than inside. Guess that's my cue to get out there and start chores before taking DH to his appt.
