Viruses 2, Deborah 0

[deborahjross]

Flu update: the worst of the symptoms have lessened, leaving sludgy lungcrud of the sort that (a) will turn into bronchitis if I am not diligent in resting; (b) requires codeine to suppress coughing at bedtime.

New virus, as in conjunctivitis. Of the viral variety, which includes copious watery discharge of the (usually single) affected eye, making (a) the wearing of contact lenses impossible as well as inadvisable; (b) postnasal drip, continuing on down to lungs -- see above -- (c) reading of any sort challenging.

Thanks, everyone, for letting me whine. At least, all this inactivity is helping my thumb tendinitis to heal.

Back to bed like a good little Deborah...

Hey, one of the great things about the internet is that you can get wonderful hugs from your friends without exposing them to your icky germs!

Sending good thoughts your way...

Thanks! Other than being flattened and doing all the prudent things to avoid crud devolving into bronchitis, I'm doing pretty well. If this is indeed H1N1, then I'm about where I should be in recovery -- another few days until energy starts coming back, and a week beyond that until I'm really functional.
