Why?

I've been sick for almost a week with no end in sight. VERY unusual for me. I'm usually 2-3 days down & then I rise like a Phoenix from the ashes. I even went to my doctor (another first) who said I was getting a secondary sinus infection & rx'd antibiotics (which I very rarely take.)

Thanksgiving will be a bust - I don't want to pass this on to anybody. The cough is brutal, the headache is migraine proportions (and throbs after coughing.) This flu laughs at OTC remedies - I get maybe 1-2 hours of partial relief. Doc said that isn't unusual either. I look like I've been crying for days because my eyes are so swollen.

Trust me. You don't want this. Massage your arm, put ice on it & get on your bike. Take a ride for me, please!

Oh - that's another thing. Our weather? 75 degrees, clear, sunny & no wind.
