me too, NannyTee. Hopefully she'll soon be back to her old self. Lucky she has you to look after her wellbeing.
Yes the Doctor came out Monday . She still has a chest infection . She's given her stronger Antibiotics. Thanks ladies 
The doctor needs to know about your mum, NannyTee. She sounds v poorly. My mum is 90yo and has thrown off this flu better than I have! She's gadding about as usual now so I'd definitely ask for another check up for your mum.
Wilma, I don't understand those clips, either! I think it's all smoke and mirrors. 
The doctor came to see me at home yesterday and luckily it was my own GP. The good news is my chest is clear, blood pressure and oxygen levels and are OK. So just laryngitis and complications from coughing to get over now. Fluid inside the ear will clear when the inflammation goes down and I can hear properly again. He's confident I passed out so that brain could get enough oxygen when I was coughing and this was an exacerbation of the jerking I get sometimes when I cough. I know this is the vagus nerve functioning correctly, but it was a relief to hear him confirm that. Need to see him again in 3 or 4 weeks to check that this does function normally when I'm not unwell, which is fine with me. I still felt like a fraud having a home visit.
Today I woke up with a clearer head and one of my ears popped. Not the bad one, but every little helps. Fingers crossed I'm on the mend. Unfortunately it looks like DH is coming down with another cold. He had a mild cold a few weeks ago and thought he'd gotten away with it, but he's coughing this time and that's not like him.
Glad it sounds like some of you are turning the corner and fresh for those who need cheering up.
Prearranged, in a vase, for all of those still suffering.
I'm almost over it. My nose is still congested but not enough to blow properly, which is annoying! I've still got the painful throat, on and off, but overall, I'm getting there! This is week 4 so so it's been a nasty so-and-so.
I'm off to my book group tomorrow, my first bit of socialising since last year!
DH is still really poorly but he's up and dressed for the first time since Saturday and my legs have finally stopped turning to jelly every time I do a small task like unload the dishwasher.
Fingers crossed it doesn't come back for a third time.
Oh dear, you lot - I just popped in with tea, Lemsip and sympathy. It's strange how some people seem to be surrounded by sickness yet don't succumb. My DD2, DSIL and baby DGS4 have been really poorly for over a week now, yet DGS2 (4yo) is still fit and well and going to school. Likewise his cousin of the same age - three adults and her brother in the same house can hardly get out of bed, yet she's as perky as ever. We've been banned from visiting anyone - DD2 says they feel they should be painting a big red cross on their front door. 
It's a devious bugger isn't it Monica - lulls you into a false sense of security!!
I felt a lot better so yesterday evening, I went to the first meeting of a course I have signed up for. Easy journey, parked close to the building it was held in, 2 hours in a warm classroom discussing and home. I feel like death warmed up today,
