I think I’m losing my battle with the virus that has me in its grip. I feel like I got run over, then the car backed up and made sure I was dead. I’m supposed to go into Boston for the cardiology annual checkup and pacemaker tune up. I don’t think it’s going to happen. I’m wobbly.
I’m actually unstable on my feet; Garry is just as bad. Driving 150 miles in two directions doesn’t seem like the world’s greatest idea, so I’m going to reschedule.
I’ve been rescheduling everything, every day. This thing” won’t quit. Sorry folks, I’m down for the count.

MIDDAY UPDATE – MARILYN 
JUST ONE OF THOSE CRAZY THINGS – WHEN THE BONE DOESN’T KNIT 
BECAUSE TOMORROW 
SERENDIPITY - SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
The crud seems to be really cruddy this year. I’m currently getting over Crud #2 of the winter after having not been sick once in 5 years. Mom and Dad are both sick. Everyone’s sick. The typical March seesaw weather surely isn’t helping. Sending a heaping pot of virtual chicken noodle soup your way…

Thanks. This one isn’t so much BAD, as endless. Draining. I don’t want to do anything, except sleep.

I spent a week and a half with bronchitis. Breath water, cough, cough some more, try to sleep cough yourself awake, walk like a zombie with a couch. Then you feel better but your ribs were bruised from coughing!

I’m coughing less, but I feel like I’m breathing underwater. Bubble, bubble, cough, gurgle. I think I’m better this morning, or at least less zombie-like. Yesterday, I was in full zombie mode. My brain was also underwater. Today, there may be light. Hopefully, it’s not that eternally oncoming train.

No it would not be good to feel better only to get hit by a train. 😉

“..as we get older.” Where is the thanks and praise we get for living for so long?! Hope you and Garry both feel better soon. Love to you both.

I think our immune systems weaken with age. A cold that used to last three days lasts weeks. I see it amongst my friends, too. We don’t bounce back well. On the UP side, I get sick a lot less often, so while whatever I get tends to hang around a longer time, I don’t get sick more than once a year … twice, in a bad year. i think I’m immune to most things by now.

Take care of yourself and get better soon. Y’all can kick this thing in the rear… I have faith in you.

I have faith in me too, but this is such a bore. Just tired, headachy, and coughing. No fun at all. I think the headache is the hardest part … oh and the not being able to breathe. That’s kind of a drag, too.

Yeah, I can handle a lot of things, but headaches ain’t one of them. I like breathing too. Keep doing that one.

Get well soon Marilyn and perhaps have a check to see what it is. I can see your problems with being in an isolated place. If I didn’t have Mr. Swiss to drive me everywhere, I would be lost. I just don’t like driving any more.

Normally, Garry drives. But he’s sick too, so it’s hard. We actually went to the doctor for this one last week and it was declared “the thing that’s going around.” Viral. Nothing to do but wait it out. Which we are doing. It just seems to be dragging on and on.

How about getting someone else to drive you.., putting off an exam may not be the best idea.

I just spoke to the clinical nurse, so we are going to do some of this remotely. Garry does most of the driving and he doesn’t feel well, either. There IS no one else. And no public transportation either. The perils of small town life.

We are getting this storm from Denver. Freezing rain and ice pellets. If it would just stop all this nonsense and warm up, we would all feel better. It is tougher to throw these things off for sure. Keep warm.
