Cold November Reigns

November started well enough - 6 days in Disney with the family, expensive, but fun. First day back, wife backs van out of garage, into my car - blames dizziness, ears haven't popped from flight yet....4th day back, son isn't feeling well, starts to take antibiotics... 5th day back, son throws up dinner and antibiotics on rug in hall, I hose off rug, outside.... 7th day back, son is in ER with pneumonia - he likes getting xrays... 8th day back , ER, take two, still too many white blood cells chasing bacteria - he gets IV antibiotics...10th day back, I'm running 101.5 fever...11th day, 102.5... 12th day, I miss work with full on white knuckle plague - doctor says I don't look so good as I stumble, in a dripping cold sweat, into his office. He recommends rest and fluids - call him later. 16th day, fever broken, but stomach problems are now joined by a nagging cough - doc comes through with codeine laced cough syrup. I slept well last night, first time in a week, and just dosed before this blog, going to bed soon - later.

Tough times--but I can empathize with you on one count: my wife backed into my truck on Sunday morning! Talk about "Sunday Morning Comin' Down!" Get well, all concerned!
