canyonwalkerFriday wasn't a day of literal rest. I was very busy with work, pushing through until 6:15pm (having started before 8am), and even then choosing to leave a few things undone until Monday. But Friday was a rest from coughing and taking pills.
I picked up an upper respiratory infection probably on the way to Vegas for SKO last month. Being in a smoky casino-hotel for 3 days certainly didn't help. By my first evening back home I was already sick. "This could be the start of another two weeks" of a cold, I lamented. Unfortunately it was worse. My symptoms wound up running four whole weeks.
Yesterday, Day 28 since the start of significant symptoms, was finally the first day I didn't need to take any medicine to quell my cough.
Four weeks. Four freakin' weeks. And bad enough early on that I had to go to a doctor and get prescription medication because the coughing was so bad I was struggling to breathe. I haven't had a respiratory illness that bad since childhood, when I was a 4-pack-a-day second-hand smoker.
