Stupid cold

[tinsnips]

As I sit here reading posts I have got the same thing going on. Feel like **** . Worst part is I have to go back to work someone is out of heat right now.

When I was a kid everyone had a cold and the major complaint was a week with a snotty nose. Now, it seems the nose drainage flows south and affects the throat and then the lungs for at least a week each and two trips to the Doc.
Are colds worse or are we weaker?

Older bodies don't fight virus's and bacterial infections like younger bodies.

Older bodies don't fight virus's and bacterial infections like younger bodies. True plus we didn't have AC, were outside more, didn't fly all the time, no Malls and fewer people who didn't take care of themselves. Parent didn't get sick much either.

Good point. I used to work in a open warehouse and never got sick. The wife would go from one climate controlled place to another.
The house, to the car, to the office, and back. When the weather was at one extreme or the other, she couldn't stay outside 20 minutes
without getting sick from the wet/cold or the heat.

Last time I had pneumonia was Dec '94 / Jan '95. was Xmas time, worked every day from Black Friday until Xmas eve, 12-14hrs a day. on Xmas eve I got home 7pm, looked at Family, waved & passed out. Spent until Jan 2nd in Hospital, home in bed 2 weeks, went back to work on Feb 1st. Blasted Dr. told my Wife I might have died.

Let your imagination run wild on that one, it still won't paint a Big Enough Picture. The wrath of a woman scorned, is nothing compared to the
WRATH of a Wife whose husband almost works himself to death.
