My Winter Cold.

I am now in the 4th week of a winter cold.  It started on Saturday night (Dec 14).  I was feverish for a short time at church and the when I awoke on Sunday morning the back of my throat was sore as if I had been snoring strongly for hours.  It soon developed into a runny nose, sore throat and a cough – which is still with me.

The cold proceeded to fluctuate.  One day I felt better, the next things got worse again.  I figured it would last a couple weeks but now in week 4 it appears to be waning.  I’m hoping that’s true.

I’ve had no fever beyond that brief period on the first Saturday.  Yesterday I had nausea and could feel my lungs aching.  I had to lie down.  I’m thinking that was the colds last stand.

We’ve had record-breaking cold these last 2 days.  I had to cover the Sago Palms.  That was not fun to do when I was feeling bad.

I was hoping to get more done at home this week after spending 10 days in Jax.  I have not been that productive.  To make things worse I have broken my regular exercise routine.  I tried keeping it up in week 1 but found it made my cold worse.  Now I’ve got to backtrack some and start at an earlier level than I had reached.

Maybe tomorrow the coughing will end.
