Been up since 2am

Apex · January 4th, 2010, 02:06 AM

Coughing and hacking up all kinds of goodies. My wife got a sinus infection one week ago, now I have one. YAY!!!

It stinks, now I have to take vacation time for an illness, not what I wanted to do. Hopefully I only need to take one day.

I really hate sitting idle. I'd rather go and be doing my usual stuff. Oh well, looking on the bright side I can chat with my favorite motorcycle chaps on here! lol

Hopefully I can get back to sleep, right now I'm just trying to clear everything up enough so I can do just that.

Hope you all are having a better day than I am!

Nickds7 · January 4th, 2010, 02:48 AM

I know how that feels...just got over being sick my self. Feel better!

Apex · January 4th, 2010, 02:57 AM

Thanks!

Yeah, when I'm sick, I want to go outside, ride the motorcycle, work on stuff, workout, etc. It is so hard for me to sit still to recover.

Normally I don't get sick hardly at all. But when I do, it isn't a common cold. lol

bdavison · January 4th, 2010, 06:17 AM

I know how that is...I usually get at least one sinus infection every year with my allergies. They suck big time.

ninja250 · January 4th, 2010, 07:03 AM

Get well soon!

Snake · January 4th, 2010, 07:44 AM

I hope you start feeling better soon.

Apex · January 4th, 2010, 09:01 AM

Thanks everyone. I got my doc appt scheduled. I hope to get some goodies to help me get over this. lol

jcgirl · January 4th, 2010, 10:19 AM

I think you may have jinxed me. I woke up with a stuffy face and a sore throat

Hope you feel better!!! Now, please pass the DayQuil.

I hope you start feeling better also jcgirl. Oh, Apex please don't jinx the rest of us. lol

MKlein3004 · January 4th, 2010, 01:49 PM

lol, i have felt like i have been on the edge of being sick for the past two weeks. I would get up and be like, "crap i think i am getting sick". then the day would start going by and i would feel better, so heres to hoping i can stay sick free for a bit.

I hope snake and jcgirl have a speedy recovery.

Snake · January 4th, 2010, 04:09 PM

^^^ I am not sick, jcgirl and apex are but thanks anyways.

Momaru · January 4th, 2010, 05:00 PM

I just got off the sick boat myself. Wanted to go riding the whole bloody time, despite sub-freezing temps outside.

Glad I'm the only one around my apartment at the moment: like Apex, if it's a bug strong enough to get me to take a couple days off, it's not to be trifled with. Last cold I had left me feeling bad for ~24hours, but took my girlfriend almost two weeks to get over (despite my best efforts to feed her chicken soup 24/7)

To all those

ninjetters out there, get better!

Apex · January 4th, 2010, 05:26 PM

I haven't been eager to go ride the bike as much as my bicycle. It clears me up, but the doc said REST. So I shall, even though it is driving me up the wall.

Yikes i typed that running out the door to work. My bad, well hope you stay healthy then. And apex you get better, my bad

Apex · January 4th, 2010, 07:06 PM

Thanks Mitchell.

Are you in school up there in CS or do you live there? I used to race with the car club there years ago doing Auto-X. Lots of fun with my car friends. We had some good stories. lol

MKlein3004 · January 4th, 2010, 07:37 PM

i went and graduated from Texas A&M, and now i have a job here. i actually live in bryan, but bryan/college station is the same thing. I hope to get back into autox and hopefully hit some track time up at TMS, but we will have to see what happens.

Apex · January 4th, 2010, 08:25 PM

Yeah TWS is a HUGE track. I'd take my little 250 out there for a track day, but I'd top out too quickly. Heck, at MSR Houston, I top out on the back straight. lol

MKlein3004 · January 4th, 2010, 10:17 PM

what does MSR run normally for a track day?

Apex · January 5th, 2010, 03:27 PM

I think it is $120 for a track day (it has been a while since I looked it all up).

Last one I hit up was with RideSmart.

Snake · January 5th, 2010, 04:33 PM

Apex have you kicked your illness?

MKlein3004 · January 5th, 2010, 04:49 PM

i thought about Ridesmart myself, they have it at TWS also, and get better soon man, we will have to ride sometime in the spring, twisted sisters? lol

Apex · January 5th, 2010, 05:06 PM

There is a local forum that you can join that gives a discount for firstimers out with RS. Free leather rental and discounted admission. Let me know if you want the forum name. Don't need to talk much over there, just join and announce your presence, get the code, then get a discount. lol

MKlein3004 · January 5th, 2010, 06:48 PM

yeah, ill look into it if you don't mind posting it or sending it to me in a pm that would help out alot.

Apex · January 5th, 2010, 07:25 PM

Allright, I'll send a pm.

BlueRaven · January 5th, 2010, 08:22 PM

Wish everyone a speedy recovery. Seems most ppl at work caught something when they returned from xmas vacation. Not one coworker was sick in the month of december...what happen too much hugging and kissing family members at xmas???
darn germs!

jcgirl · January 6th, 2010, 10:15 AM

Update - Nyquil is a 12 hour commitment and one that should not be taken lightly!!! Little elves have moved into my skull and have begun mining behind my eyebals. Any volunteers to bring a sick puppy some soup and McD's Fries???

Sorry to hear that you are still not feeling well. Try a "hoty tody" it always works for me. Have you gone to the Doc. to make sure it is not Swine flu?
Take care of yourself, get plenty of rest and fluids.

Sailariel · January 6th, 2010, 10:59 AM

Best remedy I have found for the cold is to get an 8 oz glass of hot water, drop in two Alka-Seltzers, and drink it down fairly fast. Follow it with two shots of Rum or Whisky. Go to bed after you wrap yourself in a very warm blanket. In a fairly short time, you will sweat profusely. The next morning you should feel fine. Used that remedy when I was in the Army---a medic cannot afford down time. Sounds crazy--and makes no rational medical sense, but it works. I have not had a cold that lasted more than 24 hrs. using that remedy for 40 years. I put a little lemon juice in the Alka-Seltzer mix because the Alka-Seltzer by itself tastes horrible--at least to me. Good Luck.

Apex · January 6th, 2010, 11:10 AM

I normally use the AlkaSeltzer remedy, but we didn't have any here.

I got a Zpack from the doc, and I feel loads better today. I actually left the house. lol

I still have the leftovers of my headache from yesterday, and a good cough. Other than that I'm feeling much better.

Get better Jenn!!! I'd bring you something, but it is a rather long ride from Houston to where you are at.

jcgirl · January 6th, 2010, 11:51 AM

Thanks everyone... Apparently i need to consume more hard liquor. Ok, I'm game!! I'll hit the liquor store on the way home from work... I'll let you guys know how it works tomorrow. I'm a cheap drunk, but I guess a hangover is better than this stupid cold.

Sailariel · January 6th, 2010, 06:46 PM

Mark, Z-Pak is heavy duty. Glad it worked.

Apex · January 6th, 2010, 07:36 PM

Yeah it is. I'm just glad it is really starting to work well now.
