When I am sick I don’t want anyone but my cat or dog. Same for the (fortunately) few times I have been in the hospital. I don’t want visitors, so sometimes I don’t tell anyone I’m there until I’ve been discharged.
Actually, Farley would have known a lot of good stories. It’s just that he might not have been able to tell them in a way that we would have preferred.

My dogs may not be the best storytellers, but over the years they have been magnificent support and company when I’ve been ill.

Notice how her voice cleared right up after she gave her excuse for not coming to work.

I hate getting sick for just that reason.
I hate being alone when I’m sick.
Having Sweetheart around is a comfort, but she can’t call 911.

Farley is probably there because he didn’t get fed by John or the kids.

yes, visitors wear you out in the hospital as you feel you must entertain them.

Fresh ginger root is the secret cold remedy in our house…
It can be chewed raw or steeped in hot water to make tea…to clear out the sinuses and to heat up your chest….
BTW, if you are chewing it raw for the very first time: start with a very tiny quantity, since it is a hot root, like horseradish…
