Right... Real life situation at hand here people. I'm declaring a state of emergency...๐๐๐
My mrs has got the flu (not so kindly given to her by me)... She has important exams for her degree in less than one week.
I need advice on
1) how to encourage her to revise through the shittyness of being ill.
2) make her feel better.
3) make her well enough to not feel like total crap when taking her exams.
I should mention know that Mrs Big Cat has a known habit of sulking and not being a happy bunny when ill... As such I shall be wearing the appropriate protective gear ๐ท+๐ท

And yes.... I really am this clueless - hence consulting my TW colleagues

Lock her in the basement with books and once she's read them all and wrote up 10pages on each book let her out๐
Seriously tho, keep the place warm and drink hot beverages. Every now and then ask her to get some fresh air as helps the body.
Hot baths and showers help. Bowl of hot water at her feet. Go to your nearest pharmacy and buy all the cold crap you can:)

1. Have her list her favorite beverages so you can go buy them. She needs to drink tons of fluids.
2. If you aren't up for making homemade chicken noodle soup, make sure you have some soup on hand so she can sip the broth.
3. Have her make a list of anything she might be able to eat and keep down and go buy it. Fruit, ice cream, popcicles, pudding.
4. Make her a nice warm bubble bath with tons of bubbles, a little eucalyptus, and some Epsom salts for her aches. Wait on her as she has a nice long soak and scrub her back. Bring her ice water. Put on quiet music. Dim lights. Light candles. The goal is that she relax completely.
5. Make sure you keep her fever monitored. Keep ibuprofen on hand. Bundle her up on the couch all cozy and put on her favorite chick flicks and tv you usually won't tolerate. Buy her some trashy gossip magazines at the store to read.
Hope this helps your beloved.๐

May have an outstanding effect, might as well give it a go ๐

Give her a big hug!!!!
-
I asked her what she wants from the shops and she said cigarettes and pills... Me thinks she is trying to soldier this one out like a man!!!
Thanks for the advice sealo๐

Turning the heating up on full lay in bed and sleep. Heated sheet for bonus points.
Try and stick to a normal diet as not eating only adds to the problem.
Paracetamol taken regular throughout the day should also help.
Not much else can be done...........
Or just open all the windows, don't let her eat, wake her up the minute she rests or falls asleep,invite all your friends round, etc then she will be grateful for "just" the flu ๐
-
Every time she sneezes give her a dead arm. That should discourage her ;-)
-
Drugs, anything amphetamine based will get her up and about, bananas are helpfull too.
-
I agree with gunn. Hot or warm baths n showers seem to help
my body get better faster. Or at least just makes it seem that way.Make sure you pick up some liquid vitamins that taste good at the health food store. She could probably use the nutritional boost.
Pick up some Emergen-C or a no-sugar alternative for plenty of anti oxidants.

When I'm sick with the flu, all I do is treat the symptoms.
Pain-- panadol or panadine.
Blocked nose--nasal spray
Saw thought--betaine saw throat gargle.
And daytime night time cold and flu tables.
If mrs Big Cat feels better, it might be easer to study.
And make sure you get sudafed flu tablets -
Blanket,advise to wo(man) up,dress as a clown and juggle (smiley entertainment),flu sex sometimes helps.....done in the order of her choice๐

Tell her to drink three fingers of bourbon, quit fucking crying and put on her big girl pantys on and get your work done or she's sleeping outside. Tuff love man tuff love.

Mark a big red cross over your homes entrance to alert others that the house is riddled with plague.
Then:
Throw sweet smelling herbs onto the fire to clean the air.Plague-proofing homes by putting glazes over southern windows to block the polluted southern wind.
Sit in a sewer so the bad air of the plague is driven off by the even worse one of the sewer.
Swallow a powder of crushed emeralds.
Place live hen next to the boils to help draw out pestilence from the body.
Drink a glass of own urine to aid recovery.
Clean the streets of all human and animal waste; burn all dead bodies and excrement outside the village in a large deep pit.
Pestilence medicine: Roast the shells of newly laid eggs and ground the roasted shells into a powder. Chop up leaves and petals of marigold flowers. mix egg shells and marigolds into a pot of good ale. Add treacle and warm over a fire. The patient should drink this mixture every morning and night.
That should do the trick I think.

I'm shocked to say the least! All of us "men" helping a fellow "man" by giving advice that us "men" shouldn't know about. As we are all "men" we shouldn't know any of this *sigh*
Who wants to play ponies?๐

Lol Charlie!
Very true Gun... But don't worry, I won't tell any one if u dont...
Tips from my RL mates have included
'Stick it to her vagina!'
And
'Mate send her home in some form of sterile bubble '

I have loaded up with fruit and veg - she is veggie so I kinda have to do this on the regular.
I have got soup.
The flu + cold relief pills (basically paracetamol + some other shit)
Halls sweets (with menthol action)
Berocca (like a multi vitamin thing)
Plenty of OJ and fruit tea.
...... Right.... Now once she gets here I load her up with drugs an then crack the whip with revision???
..................................
I'm usually a bit of a lad and wouldn't do this much to help but she has been cracking while I wasn't feeling great

You said it's for her degree, pull up her degree plan online and print up the classes required for it. If she's less than half way done circle or highlight the one's she's already taken, if she's more than half way then do it for the ones she has left. Print up a fake diploma for her and present her with it all. Seeing her accomplishments to date, and goal, in paper, in front of her, will motivate.

When my girlfriends ill I usually give her a pay on the back, mimic her for around ten minutes then burst out in laughter. Very childish but after a while it somehow cheers her up

Multi vits are a good shout! Make sure u load her up on vit c! 2000mg every 2-4hrs! It will help her body fight the infection! But do not give her paracetamol as it kills the good bacteria that is already fighting to help her! Just vit c and more vit c! It's a good thing she's a veggie, I was gonna say load her up on fruit and veg as they contain antioxidants and minerals!
Hope this helps!Man im tired yawnnnnnn! ๐ค๐ค๐ค

If her head is stuffed (blocked sinuses) boil the kettle and put the boiling water in a bowl. Have her sit down holding the bowl, pour a few drops of eucalyptus oil (I said drops not teaspoons) in the bowl. Place a towel over her head so. The bowl and her head are in an enclosed space. Have her inhale deeply through her nose and out through her mouth. Tell her she must stay there breathing this way until you return. Go have a pint at the pub. Return, she will look like shit, be pissed that you left her like that and be able to breath clearly through her nose. It may even have helped clear any mucus off her chest.

NyQuil.. If that doesnt help nothing will... Only give at night time
-
Hi when her in doors is ill I give her the computer and my phone and ask her to punch codes. She is normally up and about in half a hour haha hope this helps
Ps I hope she gets well soon -
Plenty of fluids, regular paracetamol, ibuprofen and sudafed.
Or she could try the stan smith cold cure: smoking crack
