I put the Vick on my heels the other night. I don't know if it's the same thing, but I didn't wake up coughing as much as the previous night. I am still coughing, but that is all the yukky stuff. I find it so frightening when I struggle to breathe, and can't imagine having to live like that all the time. I wish something could be done to help you, Nancy. Sending love back to you and a very gentle hug. Love you. Sandra xx

Don't just rub it in your heels but on the entire surface of your foot. Just on the soles of your feet. Add footies if you must, but believe me you will feel much better and you will get better fast. :)xxx

Hello Sandra a good day to you, wishing you a full and speedy recovery. FanStory wouldn't be the same without your wonderful children stories and poems.

Hi Sandra I am so happy that you are feeling better. i know it takes time to heal and cracked ribs are better than broken, i just broke my hand its so hard to move around with cast.

I've been quite emotional by all the prayers and love that has poured out for me since Liz told people on here I was ill. Thank you, Kitty, for your kindness, too. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

Not having a computer for a week, I found out about your illness when it was nearly over. I'm so sorry. What a terrible sister I am. My doctor recommends Mucinex to clear out the mucous in lungs. Try it.

Not at all! You are the best sister I have. I'll see if I can find the Mucinex. I'm feeling a bit better today, just very tired. We'll get together for a chat when I feel I can without a coughing. Love you, my SATP. Sandra xx

Thanks so much for the update, Sandra, and the good news about the ribs only being cracked and the rise in your oxygen level. Rest and get well soon.

Hi Sandra, I'm so sorry to hear that you had to go to the hospital. I am saying a prayer for you every day. I know how painful a rib fracture is, even a bruised rib. That doesn't help with the breathing either. I hope your husband is staying healthy. Did they give you the new pill form of medication for Covid. I know it has to be within 5 days of symptoms. Take care of yourself! May God's healing hands embrace you. Hugs and get well wishes! Sally

Aw, Sally, thank you. Everyone has been so nice, it's been an emotional time for me. No, I didn't call the doctor until I'd been ill a week and just couldn't go on anymore. That's when they got me into hospital to boost my oxygen levels. Now I think I've reached the peak and can start getting strong again. Thank you for giving me that sixth star, that has already made me feel a bit better. Love and hugs, dear friend. Sandra xx

I'm so relieved that you are getting better. I'm like you, I tend to think the worse when something is wrong. It is not fun to be sick. So I will keep you in my prayers until you are 100%. You should have enough natural immunity that this virus will stay clear of you from now on.

I had no idea you were suffering like this Sandra and I am so sorry you are in poor health just now and slowly improving each day. Being short of breath is very frightening, I hope you get better soon, love Dolly x

It hasn't been a nice time. This is the second time I've had it, and the worst. I've had all my vaccinations, too. Thanks, Dolly, I think I'm over the hill and now it's a case of getting strong again. Love and hugs, Sandra xx
