Lyn Bodoni needs a get-well card

[Musicat]

Lyn Bodoni has a headache and a fever of 104 (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=3440132#post3440132) (that's Fahrenheit, I hope to god).

Post your get-well cards here!

[Ringo]

Whoa, Lynn dear! Liquids. Rest.

I hope you're feeling riotous again, soon.

[Lyllyan]

104 :eek:


Goodness gracious, Lynn! Please take care of yourself and get well soon.



104!:eek:

[Zoe]

Lynn, geez...that's getting way too high. You may need to see someone. I hope you have friends or family around to make you feel better.

[Happy Lendervedder]

104 fever??? Then just what in the heck are you doing hanging out in the Pit (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=184938)? Take a cold bath!

(And geez, Zotti, the woman's burning up. Put the friggin' whip down and let her rest!)

:)



Happy

[Lynn Bodoni]

Thanks, and I'm moving this over to MPSIMS.

I have cellulitis, and it occasionally flares up. It has flared up SPECTACULARLY this weekend. I'm going to get to the doctor as soon as she opens on Monday or Tuesday, and beg an antibiotic from her, plus a spare in case it flares AGAIN.

It's happened before, I know how to treat it, but it's no fun. And no, I don't want to go to the hospital, they just poke holes in me there, and make me cranky.

[Ice Wolf]

Get well soon, Lynn.

[Liz]

Ice cream. Lots of ice cream will cure ya.

Get well, Lynn.

[koeeoaddi]

Jeez, Lynn, why does stuff like that always happen on the weekend? Hope you feel better!

I can't keep it down, but thanks. Right now I'm living on chicken broth and lime slushes, which I CAN keep down. And I think I'm gonna go to bed for the night. Thanks all.

[JimOfAllTrades]

That sounds like a bugger, Lynn. I hope that relief comes soon.

[Ruby]

104 ??? :eek:

Lynn, you've always been an overachiever! ;)

Get well soon.

[Necromancer]

I hope you get better soon, Lynn.

[Berkut]

104?

Okay, that's just plain showing off.

Feel better, please.

[hyperjes]

Yuck. Poor Lynn! I'm sure you know this, but cool water on the elbow/knee creases, wrists and forehead sometimes helps to bring down a fever. Plus, it feels nice when you're sick. Get better soon!

[Bad News Baboon]

A cheery

G e t W e l l

from me to you!

[GusNSpot]

That will just about be enough of that young lady !!!!!!

[Mockingbird]

*gives Lynn a box of sugar free chocolates(not the nasty tasting crap, but the really nice expensive stuff that tastes good), a gallon of spring water, a shipment of good books, and a temporary amnesty so no trolls or bizarre spam posters cause her distress in her forum*

Cellulitus bites in a big way. Take good care of yourself.

[Siege]

Just sending a few cool breezes your way. Lynn, you probably patrol the toughest forum on this board, and you do a terrific job. Take care, and if there's anything I can do, please let me know. I owe you one, and I'm about to owe you two.

[MeanOldLady]

Lynn, is it against the rules to wish death upon your illness? Hope ya feel better soon. :)

Obviously you are recovering, if you can make important decisions like that.

Cellulitis? Is that like when your cellulite gets out of hand? :D I'm sure there are thousands of cures available on the Internet!

Take a look at the view out my window, link below. It always makes me feel better.

[Eve]

I always knew you were a Red-Hot Mamma, but let's not carry these things to extremes, dear.

[Khadaji]

Get well soon.

[dantheman]

Boy, it's bad enough she had 104 fever, but she had to move this thread. It that doesn't make her cranky .... ;)

Yeah, heavy lifting like that isn't good for a fever, fersure. At least she was able to move it before it got too big and heavy.

[Searching For Truth]

Don't die, Lynn! You can't die on us! I can't make it without you. We can't go on! Don't leeaaave us! BE STRONG, for the children!

[AskNott]

Be strong, Lynn! Take your pills and rest. My sweet wife had the same thing a couple of times, and it's no fun.

For those who thought Musicat was serious, NO it doesn't have to do with cellulite.

[Sylkyn]

Well if it did have anything to do with cellulite, I'd already be a pile of smoking ashes, back about twenty years ago.

Get well very soon, Lynn! I hate hearing you are feeling poorly as bad as I hate feeling poorly, myself. Good, healing thoughts on the way right now!

[rocking chair]

i hope you are feeling better. if you can't eat the ice cream perhaps you could bathe in it to cool the fever?

[Lynn Bodoni]

I've had a full day's treatment of antibiotics now, and I'm feeling much better. My fever's down, so is the swelling, and my leg doesn't look like I put it in a pot of boiling water for half an hour. Thanks to everyone. And yes, I WILL finish the course of the antibiotic (unless I turn allergic to THIS one too, in which case all bets are off). For those who are curious, my leg looked somewhat like this (http://www.dermnetnz.org/img/cellulitis.jpg), except in my case, the infection started just above my toes and ended just below my knee. It's not pretty, so don't click on the link if you might get grossed out. And DEFINITELY do not Google for cellulitis images unless you don't plan on eating for a bit, the images are GROSS in the extreme in some cases.

[Eve]

Ewww! My legs look somewhat like this (http://lileks.com/institute/frahm/index.html).

[lieu]

Me and my large palm frond are here for you if'n you need us.

[World Eater]

Glad to hear you are on the path to recovery!

[Kalhoun]

Sorry to hear you're ailing. My sister gets cellulitis, but I don't think it ever looked that bad. She goes to the ER and they put her on an antibiotic drip for a few hours. Usually fixes her right up. But what a drag. Hope you're feeling better!

[Lynn Bodoni]

I've gone to the ER a time or two, but they always put me in the hospital and start sticking sharp pointy things in me, either putting stuff IN or taking stuff OUT. I don't like having a catheter in my wrist for five days. I don't like eating hospital food for five days (though it's VERY nice not having to do much in the way of housekeeping, and NO cooking and laundry). Everybody expects that I'll be awake in the day, and asleep at night, when I generally work the other way around. No internet connection! I just plain don't like being in the hospital, it's boring. Besides which, I'm very good at taking my pills on schedule.

Anyway, you should have heard my cat scold me the last time I was away. Nobody and nothing can outscold an outraged Siamese. I'm HER human, and she expects ME to be available to serve her 24/7.

[Zenster]

Glad to hear you're feeling better. The old "brains boiling out 104°F" fever is never a good thing. Get well soon.

[AskNott]

Trust the drugs, Lynn! Use the force!--Ubi Von Cannubi (Star Wars, the outtakes and bloopers reel)

[zoogirl]

I'm going to assume and hope that you're MUCH better by now. I just wanted to throw a few good wishes your way in case there's an errant germ still lurking about.

Take that!

(sound of crackling germ, frying in it's evil little juices...)

And no relapses, either!

[dropzone]

Lynn, dear, you put up with a lot of shit here and you you don't deserve to be sick on top of it, so just stop it. Tell your body who is boss.

Get well soon!

Poor you :(

Hope you are feeling better soon.

[Musicat]

It looks like our get-well-card thread has had the opposite effect. Lynn is in the hospital. (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=189016&perpage=50&pagenumber=1) :(

[Shirley Ujest]

Lyn, I am sorry that your body is rebelling against you.

I hope you feel better soon.

If you don't get back here soon, trolls will take over this place.


Signed,

A concerned Doper.

They poke holes in you there? Damn. I'd get cranky, too.

Get well soon, Lynn.

[FairyDust]

Wishing you a speedy and successful recovery, Lynn.

Please get well.
