Well, would it really be a stretch if I cut off my own nose?......

This head cold that I acquired overnight Sunday Night is kicking my ass.
Started with a hacking deep cough. That's the one that sucks because you're not coughing anything up. Finally, that turned, and now I'm bringing stuff up. Problem is now I'm sneezing, eyes somewhat watering, and still coughing along with a very very runny nose.. I feel like the worst is over, but sumamabitch, overnight Sunday night was painful.

 

It was about a 6-week illness for me. Same symptoms. Z-pack didn't work. Augmentin finally knocked it out. I felt fine for 2 days, then I got a cold. Shoulda bought stock in Kleenex.

 

I'm on day 10. I have been hacking and hacking. At least I am at a point where when I swallow I am over it feeling like I'm choking down glass.

 

I've had a bad run.
Two weekends ago - head cold. Pretty minor. A little extra sleep and kicked it.
Last week Friday, either food poisoning or gastroenteritis. Hard to tell. Absolutely crushed me for about 24 hours, and I was really shakey and weak for half a day after that.
Immediately folowing recovery from that, I somehow tweaked my back and now dealing with severe back spasms for past 2-3 days.

As my mother would say, I'm like the Wreck of the Hersperus.
