Will My Cough Ruin My Upcoming Shows?

[chefmelody]

Please pray that this cough of mine will calm down enough that I can do my shows! I'm going to the doctor tomorrow because this definitely feels like the bronchitis I had last month coming back, but... I have a show tomorrow night! I really need to get up and around so I can have a good show... and I have another Thursday, and another Saturday, so I HAVE to get better fast.

Prayers are most welcome! I really don't want to be coughing through my demo, even if I'm having it be an interactive show and don't touch the food.

Sorry to hear that you are having such a rotten time with your cough and bronchitis. No time is ever a good time especially with the line up of shows you have going this week.

Wish I had an instant cure to send your way, but all I can do is pray for you!

Good luck and feel better real soon! Hope you have gloves to bring to your shows too!

I hope you get better soon!

Oh Melody - I will pray that your cough will calm! Been there, and I know how yuck it is!:yuck:

How'd you make out at the doc's? Hopefully your cough will calm down. If not, a little honey may work.. Slippery Elm lozenges can help too... my mom used to have horehound lozenges (no funny remarks TKG!).... really any lozenges may at least help keep the cough at bay...

Good luck and let us know how you make out!

Hope you get good news at the drs today! I pray that your cough settles down...mine has been here for about 10 days now, but at least it has calmed down enough that I can sleep (somewhat!) and I made it through my show last Friday with only a few small coughs...no coughing fits! I hope that you do well during your shows too! That is so embarrassing, huh?

Doctor's verdict: bronchitis and a sinus infection. :yuck: Gave me an antibiotic and steroid (Prednisone), so hopefully that'll kick it.

Though I've heard that Prednisone lowers your immune system for awhile after you take it...

Praying that you're healed and through with the cough quickly.

Yes, prednisone does lots of weird things too, even affects your sugar levels.

At least you have some meds to help you feel better faster. Take care and hope to hear that the cough is gone real soon.

Ugh - I feel your pain - literally! I'm on the same things - Augmentin and Prednisone for cough/sinus infection. I hope we're both feeling better soon! Good luck at your shows! (I've been drinking lots of tea with lemon and honey!)

 

[pamperedharriet]

Feel better, Cathy!

 

[cathyskitchen]

Feel better, Cathy!

Aww, thanks, Harriet - you're so sweet! :love:

 

[pamperedharriet]

Your welcome! I've been fighting sinus headaches all day today with the everchanging weather, just got a weather alert on my computer that strong snow squalls are approaching. Just when we finally got the parking lot and walkway nice and clean again around here!

I can't afford to get sick right now and hope that I don't get what is going around.

 

[cathyskitchen]

Ugh - feel better soon, too, Harriet, and hang in there with that crummy weather. Glad I'm not up that far north! ((HUGS))!

 

[chefmelody]

Well, I made it through my show tonight with only a few coughs, though my voice was pretty raspy. The guests were all very sympathetic and helped out a lot with the recipe and even washed my dishes for me. (I wasn't even paying attention, I was taking orders!)

 

[cathyskitchen]

Yay! Glad to hear you made it through okay. I hope the meds start working and you're perfectly fine for the rest of your shows this week!

 

[chefmelody]

Thanks! Also hope you feel better too, Cathy, and you too Harriet! I'll say prayers for you both.

Thanks, Cathy! Good news the snow squalls went south of us!!!!!!

That is great that you survived tonight's show with help. Hope you had good sales too with your efforts! Hope the rest of the week's shows are easier for you too!

Thanks for the prayers, I think you need them more than I do at this moment. The pain has lessened!
