Breaking News: raccoon hates getting sick!

Nice music video!

Get well soon, bro.

I also only get sick a few times a year (only once, if the going is good) and I don’t like it one bit! I’ve been sick since Saturday night. It started with a bad scratchy throat. Then, it went on to runny nose and head congestion, then added chest congestion. Coughing and sneezing has been frequent. Mostly the coughing. General tiredness, achiness, and brain fog to top it all off! Here’s hoping you and I both get well soon! :confounded:

Well, it must be that time of year.

I think I'm coming down with something.

I feel moderately miserable and have a sore throat.

I'm out of orange juice, so I'll have to get some in the coming days.

I think I'm sick, and not just in the head!

Speaking of my head, it feels kinda plugged up.

(I hate being sick.)

I used to get colds and flu's and killer migraines all the time until my wife finally convinced me to change my diet. I miss the potato chips, ice cream, cookies, fatty foods and junk food in general but not enough to ever go back. Just an occasional cheat once in a while with no harm done. The real downer was the headaches and I'm glad they are gone for good as they basically crippled me every time they came along.

About half of the food I eat is healthy.

The other half is junk.

And I get miserable sick once or twice a year...

So I'm doing pretty well the vast majority of the time.

When I lived down South and UK. winter was a blight. Shit weather. shit health.
last 46 yrs in Tropics. Suntan and sweat 10 months of yr. Perfect.
We NEVER get crook up here.
When I got “rotten” with the winter weather,
I found that a good night sweating it out overnight.
Normally did the trick.
Active wife fixed me every time. Sometimes a girlfriend (shhh) too.
Eat lots of banana’s. the potassium. fibre, and sugars do you the world of good.
I’ve been a vegeterian, as far as red meat and chicken concerned for 50 odd yrs.
Keeps you healthy.

Did you try to hire a nurse ?

Get well soon

Look at it from the bright side.
At this very moment your body is modding last year’s anti-bodies.

That is a works of a normal (I did not say healthy) body.
But it is a lot better than hearing the hazmat guy say: our pathologist found blood in your goo.

Blood in my goo...

That paints a pretty picture!

what’s goo

do you mean mucus or poo

Stop eating out of trash cans

dang raccooons

Them's good eatin'!

Sorry guys :person_facepalming:

I tried a (lame) variation on what Dino Crocetti supposedly was told the last time he had a physical:
“I am afraid we found traces of what we think is blood in your alcohol”.

What about me? I am so full of anti-bodies that I wonder what the f… happened to all the bodies.

Poor old Raccoon
Get well soon,
Alcohol will kill those bugs,
Drink it down in lots of jugs.

This ancient remedy works for me…
A few shots of whiskey or other spirit works wonders.
First it numbs your aches and pains, then it cleanses the germs out of your system.
I think people were using this “medicine” long before paracetamol and cough mixture were invented.
I rarely buy any medications at the pharmacy.

Hot Scotch.
In a cup:
half a lemon sliced,
2 large teaspoons honey,
boiling water
2 shots of scotch, around 60ml (I usually go 4 shots)

Sleep well :wink:

Aaahh Sillen,

Who’d have known you have such a high level of medical training!!

Necrobump!

The last time I felt like I was coming down with something was on 11/09/2018.

That's a little over two and a half years ago.

My mom has been battling a sinus infection since June 16th of this year, and today I'm starting to come down with (probably) a sinus infection.

I'm not sick yet, but I most likely will be pretty soon.

I've actually felt a little off for a few days, but today has been the worst.

As soon as I can get some orange juice, I'll be drinking plenty of it, which is what I do when I get sick.
