I got home Friday night and collapsed on the couch. It was a long week at work and I had a bad cold and a bad cough. It wasn't the ideal time to be sick with so much going on at work and with our upcoming trip but nonetheless the germ bug got me. Saturday, despite being sick I left the house with the hub to pick up a few things for our trip. There was no other time to shop so I had to get out. I found myself at Target trying to pick out some cold medicine that fit all my symptoms when the hub returned to my side and told me he had just talked to the pharmacist. She suggested drinking plenty of juice and chicken noodle soup. I guess we hear this line every time we are sick but how many of us actually take this advise? Not I, until this time. I didn't want my bad cold to get out of hand with an upcoming trip so I took her advise and drank a gallon of orange juice for dinner. Throw in a cup of chicken noodle soup and I had enough nourishing elements in my body that when I woke up on Sunday I felt like a new person! So never again, will I underestimate the power of OJ and Chicken Noodle soup. I didn't even have to use anymore of that cold medicine I had bought at Target. Just goes to show that Pharmicist's advice...is PRICELESS.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
