Title: 36 hours and sick as a dog Post by: fathertime on August 30, 2005, 04:00:00 AM Man I am pissed. Headed to Cali in 36 hours and got a fever of 103. My entire body aches and I feel like I am 90 years old. Unless I can't walk I am going but I will be far from my best.
What kinda helpful ideas you guys got to get me better. I talked to Michael Cannon the owner of Cali-Vip and he said he has some antibiotics that he uses and it wipes things out. I am not real excited about self prescribing. I am guessing this has happened to someone here: So what did you do? Symptoms I have include: Fever, chills, dry cough, general body soreness.

Damn, I was just too sick to go. About 12 hours before my departure time I had a fever of almost 104. It just made no sense to travel and arrive in Colombia when I was feeling this bad. The airline was cool and will let me reschedule. We will see what can be worked out with Cali-Vip. I hope to go in a few weeks when I can get myself feeling better.

I am still dying but at least I have an antibiotic now. I am not going to be looking or feeling my best for the trip but thats how it goes I guess. The Colombian security at the airport is going to think I am trying to smuggle coffee grounds in from under my eyes. I hope the Colombian woman like baggy, sunken, eyes and a pained expression across my ugly mug!

"baggy, sunken, eyes and a pained expression across my ugly mug!" Well, with a name like Fatertime I guess that’s about par for the course. Once you get to Colombia kick back a day, visit a nice hair salon, get a massage, manicure, maybe even a spa treatment and you should be back to your normal dashing self. If all else fails, win those sweet ladies over with your sophisticated charm and great personality. :-) ¡Suerte! Title: The Mark Twain cure Post by: Michael B on August 30, 2005, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to 36 hours and sick as a dog, posted by fathertime on Aug 30, 2005
Mark Twain once had a similar disease. He was telling a friend about it: --Twain "I had the most terrible cold and fever, thought I was going to die. I went to a doctor in some little frontier town. The doctor advised me to drink a bottle of whiskey and sleep all day. I thought 'what kind of advice is that?' and went to the doctor across the street. He advised me to drink a bottle of gin and sleep all day. I still wasn't too sure about the advice, and luckily there was one more doctor in the town. I went to him, he advised me to drink a bottle of rum and sleep all day." --Friend "So, which doctor's advice did you finally follow? --Twain "All of them." --Friend "ALL of them? Did you cure the cold?" --Twain "I really don't remember."

Theraflu kicks ass. Title: Re: 36 hours and sick as a dog Post by: Frank O on August 30, 2005, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to 36 hours and sick as a dog, posted by fathertime on Aug 30, 2005
Start popping vitamins especially vitamin c man. Good luck. Does not sound good but I've had to travel to Ukraine like that (20+ hrs!) & also had to tour/gig like that.

Just made an appointment with a local doctor. I never, never see doctors but in this case I figured I'd better. Fathertime Title: Re: 36 hours and sick as a dog Post by: fathertime on August 30, 2005, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to 36 hours and sick as a dog, posted by fathertime on Aug 30, 2005
