I was taken down these last couple of days by some kind of virus; was already suffering from a cold of sorts which manifested, for the most part, as a bad cough, then on Tuesday, was knocked out by an episode of vomiting. Three different moms at my son's school have described something similar happening to their children in the past few weeks...so I am led to believe that there's some kind of weird bug floating around at my son's school. Though it could have been food poisoning in any of those cases...who knows.
I remained wiped out on Wednesday (yesterday); it was hard to get out of bed and remain upright. Didn't exercise; hardly ate. Did manage to pick up my son from school, take him to his new coding class (which he loved) and cook some kind of dinner, then give him a bath--but was just barely getting through it all. Didn't write in this journal; didn't do much of anything, outside of the usual parental duties.
I still feel like a zombie. The bad cough is still there; I've had that many times before so at least I know what's going on with that. I have had some sort of attack of deep coughing almost every fall or winter; some doctor years ago called it "bronchial spasms" but reading the Mayo Clinic web site, I think it could just as well be labelled acute bronchitis.
I had my yearly physical on Tuesday; was hopeful that the doctor would prescribe something, but she didn't, just said it would probably get better by Day 7, which is today...and yes, it is slightly better. But only slightly. Hopefully, I'll be able to move out of zombie-mode tomorrow.
