It was like bliss for about 20 minutes. Hooray! And we had a nice relaxing morning overall.</p> <p>I'm not getting better yet, but I feel better by just doing some normal vacation things. I think Mr. Jacks is going to do some stuff with Lala this evening so I can have some quiet relaxy time when M. goes to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-593246 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:53:55 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 593246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel your pain. On our honeymoon AF decided to come a week early, and with it insanely horrible, nausea inducing cramps. And when I say "on our honeymoon I mean the morning we flew out it started and it stopped just after we got off the plane back home. My uterus hates Mexico apparently! Which meant none of the usual newlywed fun plus being miserable. (Also the resort with a TON of fancy pools sold pads... no tampons! That was a fun trip into the mexican markets.) I powered through what I could. The pools helped a bunch so we spent most of our time in them. When I was in too much pain to go out, we cuddled in the room.</p> <p>I do what I can (more than I should) but if I just can't do it, I dont make myself even more miserable. That would turn a bummer vaca into a terrible one! And nobody wants that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592978 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:06:44 +0000 Maysprout 592978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you're feeling crappy on vacation. I had sinus gunk last week and yuck, yuck, yuck. I was dreaming of just swimming around snorting an ocean to help clear it out, stinks you guys can't get in the water. Sudafed always helps me, I can't take the local nose spray or I get a sinus infection. </p> <p>Hope you get a mix of relaxation and some fun in the sun, though having 2 LOs seems like there's not much choice but to go, go, go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592961 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:01:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 592961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: You just made me laugh out loud! Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592960 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:00:45 +0000 heffalump 592960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: yes..... But it was still more fun to have a migraine on a cruise ship then stuck at home in my boring bed :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592957 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:58:02 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 592957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: awww that's super sucky! I'm sorry. You have reminded me that it could be worse. Migraines are so debilitating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592949 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:49:50 +0000 heffalump 592949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Half of my honeymoon I was stuck in our room on the cruise ship because I had a migraine. Dh would bring meals to our room. Even laying in the sun was just too bright and hurt my head. The other half my head still hurt but was was good enough that I could power through and leave the room. Just not do anything too crazy. </p> <p>Hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592829 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:58:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 592829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: I totally agree and would, but there is a severe wind. Even walking on the beach gets you totally exfoliated right now. We were out there for an hour this morning and the girls were crying about the sand in their eyes. It's just not possible right now, sadly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592822 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:53:55 +0000 honeybear 592822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: It sounds like you're at the beach (whales aren't so common in lakes!), so you should totally go sit by it if it's windy and inhale deeply or better yet, stick your head right on in the ocean and blow bubbles out your nose. Totally the best saline mist on the planet for un-stuffing noses! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592814 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:49:55 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 592814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Good idea. We're about a half hour drive to any store, but I might be able to find some tomorrow. If it wasn't so dang windy, I could just hop in the ocean and use it like a giant neti pot, but right now there are bad high wind advisories!</p> <p>Ah, well... at least the girls are napping right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592813 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:48:37 +0000 Boogs 592813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I bet! My LO was bouncing on my when I was nauseous and my stomach was upset. He doesn't know how to leave me alone lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592812 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:47:30 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 592812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I'm so sorry to hear that! I got a horrible cold when we were travelling around Europe and I powered through because I didn't want to waste the trip. Can you get some Zicam (spray only!)? That usually helps me to make it through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592798 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:39:54 +0000 Honeybee 592798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Babies are so pushy. :)</p> <p>I can't wait for pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592788 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:34:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 592788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Mr. Jacks is being very understanding, which is nice... The girls, on the other hand, they don't much care that mama doesn't feel well!</p> <p>@Honeybee: They say that your IQ goes down 10 points when you can't breathe clearly through your nose. I believe "them"! Wait til you see the whale pics, they were basically playing with the boat. It was so cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592774 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:29:42 +0000 Honeybee 592774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: done and done! We'll all finally get the vacations we've been dreaming of!</p> <p>I hope you get a little relief soon; I hate sinus pressure/congestion. However, whale watching sounds incredible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592763 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:24:44 +0000 Boogs 592763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Oh man so sorry you're sick while there! We just went through this, we mostly lounged around and it felt soooo good! My DH is normally the power through type though, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592752 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:19:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 592752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Alright, here's the plan. We vacation together, the boys can go explore with the older girls and do all their powering through and we can sit on the beach and drink fruity drinks and tend to the little ones.</p> <p>Oh my gosh, I'm so sinus sick right now, it's ridiculous!</p> <p>But we went whale watching today and it was completely amazing, so I'm glad that Mr. Jacks drags me around to do all his busy stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592688 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:50:50 +0000 Honeybee 592688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah this wasn't the best trip, huh?</p> <p>DH is the power through type but I,m the relax types so... it's always a compromise. :) I dream about the day where we take a vacation that is dedicated to nothing more than relaxation, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-sick-on-vacation#post-592617 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:21:18 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 592617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you just power through and try and do all the things that you were planning or do you take advantage of the time off to seriously just lay around and heal? </p>
