Laryngitis sucks!

I’ve stayed in bed all day, feel hellish. The laryngitis has irritated my asthma. I have been resting and listening to music.

I have a hacking cough and feeling pretty sorry for myself. One of my best friends Rosie has been texting me. 

Her wee boy has a lurgy just now too and she think she is coming down with it - she has fibromyalgia and ME. We are hoping to go to a local comedy night soon but we are going to see how we both feel.

I have had laryngitis, pharyngitis, and both types of tonsillitis in the past, when I was still English teaching. The dry cough is the worst. Thankfully, I don’t have a temperature.

I haven’t had much of an appetite so it’s been fruit tea and honey and grazing on fruit and oatcakes today. I had a smoothie too. The soluble paracetamol the nurse suggested has really helped. I hope the cough eases off soon as it really disturbs your sleep.

I have been taking peak flow meter readings to monitor my asthma - I have had it since I was fourteen. I have had pleurisy in my late 20s - that was horrendous.

I guess this is what I get for going to a gig and singing all night! Tonight I rewatched Cilla the mini series to cheer myself up and take my mind off things. I love Sheridan Smith as a singer and an actress.

I was very saddened and shocked to hear about the death of Paul O’Grady today, extremely down to Earth with a very quick wit. I loved watching For the Love of Dogs.

Thanks for all your kind comments on my selfie Blip yesterday - look horrendous but you’re all so lovely! 

I will catch up with stars, hearts and comments ASAP. Hope you’ve all had a wonderful Wednesday xx
