My week-end? Why, thanks for asking.
Well, I did not set foot outside the house from Friday evening until I left for work on Monday morning. To be precise, I hardly set foot outside the bedroom (thanks to the wonders of en suite plumbing).
Not that I got a whole lot of sleeping done - every time I would lie down and close my eyes, a little tickle in my throat would trigger spasmodic coughing. Every single time.
By Sunday morning I wasn't sure which made me feel more horrible: the symptoms or the side effects of the medications.
For the engineers and statisticians among you with some knowledge of D.O.E. an aside: I am calling this the "Full Factorial 'Flu."
Given say eight typical symptoms, start with a random selection of four. Vary these every day until every possible combination and permutation has been exhausted, and there you have this disease.(My only hope now is that once that happens the disease has run its course!)
Too much information? Well, you did ask, didn't you?

Oh, my. That sounds awful! Get better, okay!
The Shainin folks would have me ask you whether you found the Red X, but I'll desist.

Take it easy on yourself. I understand this one has a behavior of reccuring.

Thanks for the sympathy. I'm feeling better in general - just not getting rid of the cough or the runny nose.
Keeping my fingers crossed, though :-)
