Not Swine Flu

...but sick as a parrot. About three weeks ago I developed a dry, hacking cough which wouldn't go away. It seemed to get better for a day or two, then re-emerged. In the last few days it has become most aggressive and violent, making me somewhat unwell. The cause could be viral or bacterial but in any case my  trachea is inflamed, I am now tanked up with anti-biotics etc and groaning. All this coughing sure does take it out of you. Still, cheer up! Mustn't grumble! Could be worse!

Update: Yep. It got worse.

Update Update: It got even worser.
