As much as Mrs. K. misses me it's her mother that worries herself sick when I'm out.
Aww.....NOTHING like a mother-in-law that loves you.

About the respiratory thing, yeah, that's not good. Just ask Nucky. If you're not 100%, you better wait to go back out. You're not getting any younger you know, even if you are still a young buck to some. Plus inhaling that smoke, no matter what age, can't be good. What else can I say to convince you to stay home.....lol

Salt water gargles might help with the sore throat for now until you see if it progresses to anything else. Lozenges help but mainly just for the dryness. I will tell you though, I often keep Sucrets brand (you remember those?) lozenges on hand because I actually think they help a little more if the sore throat is really painful versus just scratchy.
