As its been so long...
and I have nothing better to do with my sick day (not strictly true, but I am trying not to overdo it cos if I do I will get shouted at!) I thought I'd revisit this thing.
I'm off work sick (have been for the best part of two weeks) - having time off works for being ill is no fun - you can't enjoy it! Nothing dramatic - just a cold (which might have been 'flu, but I'm no doctor) that turned into a chest infection - which means that breathing becomes challenging - particulalry when trying to cough up one's lungs and only managing to surface the small meal one had just managed to eat half an hour before - sigh!
But thanks to the wonders of modern medicine (industrial strength cough syrup on prescription, a course of antibiotics, an inhaler and funny plastic tube thing later) I am feeling much better - although I am not sure I can face the meeting in London tomorrow that I have left it too late to get out of! Joy.
So feeling quite sorry for myself - good job I'm not properly ill very often, I am rubbish at it!
Bitch over. Think I'll go lie down now!
