The Cruds
Well, my youngest sister had it first, now Swine Flu has spread to my other sister and her nieces. Ironically, while I've been showing no flu symptoms whatsoever, a late night bike home from the gym in 30 degree weather the other day has left me with Bronchial Inflammation. In other words, Pre-Bronchitis, which isn't nearly as bad as it sounds. No fever, no weakness, no runny nose, no hacking of flem, just a little cough stemming from irritation within my chest.
I'm treating it seriously though, I don't want it to make the jump to full blown bronchitis. So I'm taking plenty of hot steamy showers, staying out of the cold, taking mega-doses of anti-oxidants in the form of fruit, drinking home made herbal/spice teas, and getting plenty of rest.
It's the latter that's gonna be really tough. Already I'm feeling the urge to go work out. I'm just hoping the inflammation is gone by tomorrow-morning, because the thought of spending the whole day cooped up indoors doesn't appeal to me at all right now.
