4. Prepare for a time out or illness ahead of time.
Being sick is hard work and takes up all of your time. While you’re healthy make a big pot of soup and freeze in single servings, make a lasagna that your family can heat up on their own, make and freeze some ginger tea concentrate. (Recipe coming up this spring.)
Remember viruses aren’t polite and always show up unannounced.

I’ve been thinking that I was alone in my debilitating 2015 bronchitis. Your odyssey sounds exactly like mine! Thanks for sharing, now I don’t feel like I’m somehow to blame for this hanging on so lonnnnggg! The coughing just seems to lag forever. Longest siege of bronchitis I’ve ever had. I usually knock it out in a few days with oregano oil therapy. Not this year. I am eager for your ginger tea concentratre. Best to you Kathy and get well soon!

Kathy, I hope you are back to 100% soon. I’ve never seen anything like the bugs that went around this winter. Everyone in my office was sick for months; a couple of us ended up in hospitals. My tip, from a lesson earned the hard way: Ask for help. Sometimes we cannot do everything.
