Cold and Sore Throat

Ugh. I have a cold and sore throat. I came down with it on Friday and got to spend my entire weekend being sick.

In my pre-op days, to cool down my throat, I'd eat ice cream. Now, to cool down my throat, I drank a protein drink blended with ice in my Magic Bullet. Wow, I've come a long way.

Whenever I get sick, I want to be nurtured, feel better NOW! I would turn to my favorite comfort food to make me feel better. Even seven years post-op, I still have that desire. When I get sick with a cold, I get really sick. I was told that I should have sinus surgery that would be 50/50 successful. I get really sick with colds because of the way my sinuses are. My husband had sinus surgery and uh, no thanks. Since having surgery, I don't get colds nearly like I used to before I had surgery.

So, I'm laying low, resting my voice and taking care of myself in non-food ways. That's the best self-nurturing that I can do!
