VIRUS | 2006-01-02
One of many blessing of diversity is the interesting new diseases we have pouring in.
I am in the middle of a dandy. My sister had it. It feels just like a cold and sore throat but it debilitates you for about four weeks. In DC I had everything that came in so I'm becoming a poster codger for flu.
I must add, though, that I was NEVER sick outside the United States. When I reached a new environment, I would have one lucid day and a day and and a half in a coma and half a day dazed. Apparently my body automatically threw everything off. The fourth or fifth day I was fine.
Anyway, I got a lot of comments for a couple of days and none today.
Poor, sick old man!
Not that I'm complaining.
Like the Greatest Generation, I'm too rough and tough to say how hard I had it and how everybody else owes me.
