Too bad ya can't have some herb tea.

Man, catching a cold at the worst time really sucks. I feel for ya.

I know this is paltry in comparison, but... last slice and dice, in the recovery, the nurse assigned to me (and a few others) was sniffling and wiping on the back of her gloves. Sure enough, two days later, when I was released, I had a cold. Imagine... in a NURSE recovery with a cold!

At one point, I did have a good laugh... as much as I could. The blood pressure monitor was on auto at ten minute intervals. It had a medium sized band and there wasn't a lot of velcro secured. I knew what was gonna happen. Sniffles was writing on my chart when it flew off and she dropped pen and paper when it flew toward her. Wish it had smacked her in the head.

Ya know, come to think of it, that last time I was on the slab it was over 5 hours. My throat was not part of that slice and dice but it hurt like hell for several days from the intubation (which had aslo occured for aboy an hour and a half three eweeks prior)... and the coughing, of course.

Anyway, bud... I think of you often and hope this eases up on ya soon.
