Return of the Cold... Again
I suppose the title of this blog entry could lead people to believe I am referring to the weather but, unfortunately, I am referring to my health.
The weather is indeed still unseasonably warm with rain, sleet and ridiculously heavy snow like we are living in a coastal area hundreds of miles south of here so saying that the cold has returned would be appropriate if a normal northern mountain winter climate ever returns. In this case, however, I am referring to a cold that I have had since just after Christmas!
I've been feeling halfway decently for the past week suffering only from my primary illness and some lingering remnants of this season-long cold. My nose had mostly dried up, finally... cough mostly gone... no sore throat... aches and pains were more related to my primary illness at this point. I still had a bit of gunk running down the back of my throat but the little bit I was experiencing was hardly worth mentioning. I had thought (and hoped) that this two-month-long cold was behind me at this point.
Late last night I sneezed... then my nose immediately started running like a waterfall! At the time, I was hoping this was a one-time occurrence simply due to something in my nose causing a sneeze. This morning I awoke with a completely stuffed up nose and feeling like I had been run over by a bus.
I occasionally mention my health struggles in this blog because that is one of the main purposes of this blog but I don't do much complaining aloud about my primary illness and all the daily pain and daily struggles it inflicts but adding a neverending cold pushes my patience of the edge. This cold has become a frustrating annoyance and it is grating on my nerves at this point.
Oh... and Sheila's sore throat has returned this morning... we'll see what that progresses into soon, I suspect...
