Waiting, waiting, waiting

Facebook conversation, or why I *heart* Sara
Between (Secret Sara) and (LBTEPA)

HI Sara
I went back to the Dr yesterday and have been given the big DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT for the Whittlesea ride.
I'm so sorry.
I hope I can still train with you at some stage, it's just that my immune system has taken such a beating I have to get back into things really gently.
They refunded my entry fee though, nice of them
Sorry again :(

SECRET SARA
The most important thing is to get better- I am fine about going by myself- remember last year when my friend backed out on the City to Surf in Sydney- I went anyway. Hope you are doing the chicken soup thing or whatever works.
How did the job interview go? I hope you were DAZZLING. Rest up and I will see you on the road in the cold when you are well!

I think she is front runner for "the nicest person evah" award.

The Dr has prescribed no exercise until at least this coming weekend (three whole weeks off!!$%#&??!!), and then to start very slowly, maybe (and I quote) with 'some gentle walking'
Resulting inner monologue:
Walking? Walking?!!??!!??!!
Walking isn't exercise, it's how you get your lunch!
followed by
Don't be such a prat, Mrs Tickets-on-yourself
and then
Maybe I've been sicker than I thought....I'll wait until the weekend. And then walk.
If you have any thoughts on immune-system boosters - superfoods, supplements, anything - tell me! This winter has been Utterly Tiresome to say the least.
My interview went much better than I expected. I was nearly sick with fear and had to overcome an all-but overwhelming urge to run away, but apart from that the old skills came back pretty easily and I am very hopeful. We should hear by mid next week.
Waiting, waiting, waiting....

I am sure the time will just fly by!
Good luck with everything...I like to drink a lot of orange juice...though that is high in energy too.

Lisa said...

Very frustrating. Stupid lurgy!!

I don't know what to do to boost an immune system. But if you figure it out, let me know. I always get sick in winter too.

I hope you feel better soon and good luck with the job!

Rest up.

SWTrigal said...

OH that sucks! I hope you get well soon..

KLN said...

Oh no -- but walking is good for you!

Try echinacea, zinc, and lots of vitamin C. I take an Emergen-C, which is effervescent vitamin C plus other minerals every day. Mine also has glucosamine and chondroitin in it, to help my joins stay smooth, supple, and pain free (theoretically, anyway!).

Feel better soon!

I'd visit a naturopath. I have a high potency vit-c powder that disolves in water. I find that useful.

Plenty of veggie and chicken soups.

Get well soon!

Kathy said...

You have had a crap winter haven't you - bummer!!!


mmmmm homemade chicken soup...

Good luck with the job interview - at least you have that eating up all the nervous energy you would normally use for exercise...

Take care
