Stressed

You people are just amazing! Brandy and coke can go onto our shopping list then.

I have just found this thread Antonia - and I send you my love and best wishes for all to go well for your move and a speedy recovery for your husband. More {{{hugs}}} for you!!

PS. I am going to try the brandy and coke remedy asap - and I don't have an upset stomach!

It's a good preventative measure Danni!

Hope things continue to improve, Antonia, and the move goes well!

I've used the coke cure many times in the past - letting it go flat makes it easier to drink, I find. I reckon it's the phosphoric acid content killing everything it touches!

Good luck with your complicated house move Antonia and hope your DH is soon feeling much better. I swear by dry toast for upset "innards" and an old nurse friend of my Mum used to recommend grated apple. Lots of water too! (Probably a bit better than the brandy!)

Lol it was always brandy (Minus the coke mind!) that my own Grandmother used to have for 'Rotten Guts' as she would beautifully phrase it, and nothing kept her down for long! Hope your DH is better soon! x

Virtual HUGS on their way. Poor you. Hope you have a great day and move goes well. ?Xx

Hugs and more hugs you'll both soon be smiling again. You're on the road to a new adventure.

Oh big hugs Antonia and ?....all will be ok!! ✨

Do hope DH gets better soon, and good luck with all your moving - sounds nightmareish. But soon it will all be over, and hopefully you will be happily settled in Harrogate.
A big hug coming your way.

Sending hugs and hope your DH feels better soon. I have found that port and brandy helps with tummy bugs, puts a smile back on my face too. Hope move goes well.

to you both!

Hi ! sending hug [hug] and hope things are better today ! We live in France and I often get diarreah medicine from the pharmacist for my husband ...just pop into your local one and ask ! I cannot remember the name and can't find the box..it seems to have disappeared from the bathroom cabinet ...but it is very effective .....he sends me to the pharmacist the next day for Dulcolax ........hope all is well !

I once had compylobactor for 10 weeks and lost 3 stone in weight and my gp told me to try to drink 2 litres of coke a day.
I never drink dizzy drinks of any sort but tried my best. I'm sure it did help.

I was just feeling sorry for myself till I saw what you were coping with! Hope things are improving andthe move goes well

Big hugs Antonia.....house moving is one of the most stressful things at the best of times never mind involving 3 countries. I admire you and your husband . Lots of liquids needed for him...sometimes just plain boiled water drank while still warm can be very soothing. Sips of Lucozade can help with regaining his energy. A bug needs to clear from your system so don"t prevent this from happening yet. Do hope he feels much better very soon and your house move goes smoothly. You are going to a lovely part of Yorkshire ( my childhood area) I hope you will be very happy there.

No wonder you're stressed Antonia.
Sending hugs and good luck with the move!
(((((((((((hugs)))))))))))

Relalised my post was a bit practical I should have added what a stressful situation and good luck to you in your move xx

Flat coke is miraculous and very helpful for tummy bugs.
When DH had radiotherapy for prostate cancer, the oncology nurse recommended flat coke [and white rice!] to help, if he did develop a bad tummy... [hug]

My gran used to recommend grated apple like forgetwho's nurse friend. let it go brownish when grated. The dry toast is good. Also plain rice is good to stop you up and light too for iffy tum. You could just ask the pharmacist. They can tell you what there is. I hope husband is better soon.

I hope the move goes as well as can be. We moved from Spain to UK in 2009 with 2 dogs and 2 cats, but I didn't buy at once. I rented. That did make it a bit less stressful as no chain. Sorting out vaccinations and pet passports was complicated though.

Hugs duly sent. How very stressful. It is always awful when the partner one relies on for support and sympathy then gets put on the 'to do' list as well. In your case it is made worse by your far-from-home circumstances and the stress of the three way move.

However, time will pass and the eventual outcome, the house in Harrogate, sounds delightful in the extreme.

In the meantime hydrate the patient and take it as easy as you can.

Antonia.
Cheer up! and as we Brits say 'worse things happen at sea'

another hug and very best wishes for smooth move. you are moving to a lovely part of the country ,from one yorkshire lass to soon to be another!

- stressful now and I understand but hopefully all will win through!! xx
