Well it's 7PM here now on Monday evening. I've managed to go the whole day so far without Googling!! :yesyes: Guess what I'm doing to distract myself? I'm staring at this forum! LOL :) I can't wait to be able to get into chat when its my 5 days! 2 more days I think!
I've actually found it distracting(in a good way) and comforting in not only reading up on replies to my own posts, but posting to others and telling others that they are going to be OK.
Funny how that works....like we are completely capable of saying to someone else, "I really think you are OK...don't worry!" But at the same time your own mind is turning like a hamster wheel! :roflmao:
On another bright note. I talked to my mom today on the phone and told her about my sore throat and how it just feels so damn dry and scratchy but its not red or anything and I really think its from the dry air. She suggested putting my humidifier in the living room and leaving it on all day instead of just using it in the bedroom at night. My dad was chiming in in the background saying how his mom used to put pans of water under the radiator too to help with the dry air. So no sore throat all day! I also didn't smoke at all today....until about 5 minutes ago. I ate dinner...I had to! I'm gonna try and keep the smoking cut down too. So I'm definately thinking it was a combo of smoking, dry air, and side effect of dry mouth from my meds. Not throat cancer, yay! :D
Progress, progress, progress!!!! So that's my advice to anyone who feels the need to Google. Resist the urge and log onto here! Put your mind into reading posts and replying to others...its working wonders for me!
