This is the WORST cold I ever had!

[FallbrookFarmer]

Don't know if the rest of the country is affected by whatever
this demon disease is, but I have never been sick this long.
My wife caught it from the guy next to us on the plane over to Europe,She got sick, then better, then I got sick. Then I gave it back to her(Hey you share everything after 40 years!)
Then when we got to Houston, my nephew was just getting over something.
It's now been about 6 weeks and while better, still hanging on.
Anyway, Everybody I talk to seems to be at some various stage of this "Thing".
Are you guys in the far North affected?

Pretty health up our way, haven't heard of anything nasty. Only thing is its hay fever time. Lots of pollen from fir but mostly alder trees, nice yellow powder. Cut my lawn last Friday for the second time and even though I had taken one pill had to take a second. :licking: Guess cutting the grass stirred up a bunch of that pollen.

Posted a while back (maybe 3 weeks) that I was sick just in time for our first beautiful week-end in months. I'm still congested, the cough just won't go away.


My wife is pregnant so I stayed at work...well that's why everyone gets sick every year. Nobody learns to just go home.

Wishing greener pastures to you my friend.:thumbsup:

So this is what crusty 1 was talking about. I've been fine other than a case of food poisoning Monday and Tuesday which through me for a loop.
Had some bad bacon on Sunday which hit me about 1-1/2 hrs after I got to work on Monday. Put me down pretty hard for about 36 hours. Doing fine now though.

So far nothing..knock on wood,spring time when I catch least one cold.

Hope you kick it real soon.

I had a "normal" runny-nose head cold a couple weeks back, which got better and seemed to go away after 3-4 days... but it apparently came back.

Missed two more days last week, and have been positively dragging my butt all this week. Still having sinus congestion, hacking up stuff... not real bad, but it just won't go away.

We'll see what today brings- almost didn't make it through yesterday. Have been napping every day right after school, getting to bed early, and still have had a hard time rising in AM. Today's the first day I've felt like getting up at a normal --usual-- time for me.

I've heard from others about the "cold that won't go away".... Sound like the same? Yuck!

I hate the cough, seems to be knocking my wife and I on our butts.

I've read that, as you get older, you get fewer colds so I hope it's true. My wife and I both had a pretty severe one in January '09 so it's been 14 months.
