An Open Letter to my Immune System:

When you're damn well done with a cold, would you PLEASE cease and desist in symptoms post-haste? My head has been feeling 'better' since Tuesday morning. And then I spend this morning wracking up unpleasant gooeys in lab meeting. Most disconcerting. Yes, yes, I appreciate that you've done a bang-up job, and that compared to the rest of my family, you're a paragon of rapid-response surveillance. But for once, just once, would you bloody well do what I ask?

Thank you,
Your Host Body

Icky.

Sorry to hear that you are under the weather. I'll be thinking healthy thoughts for you.

Feel better, man.

I assume you are eschewing caffeinne and drinking lots of water and vitamin C filled juice?
Immune systems love that shit.

Good luck - this one's a doozy, if it's anything like what I had the last 2 weeks! Still snuffling...

Thank you, dear. The real shame is that I'm under such lovely weather. Haven't wanted to do a damn thing outside.

But, really, I'm just in the frustrated dregs of the thing. =-)

Indeed, I figure that my morning ration of orange juice has been instrumental in helping kick this sucker along the path. And, yeah, lots, and lots of water. Given how much I'm sounding like a love-struck moose bellowing for company, it's rather necessary.

I've a long and unpleasant history of simple colds turning into soul-sucking sinus infections, and overall I'm feeling pretty good... *crosses fingers* I think I've dodged that particular bullet this time.

I'll just imagine that you brought yours with you from NC, and that this is the local, far more benign variety... ;-) I'm pretty certain that I picked mine up from my coworker. Or at least, the timing was in the right neighborhood.

My thoughts are with you. Hope you are feeling tip-top again soon!
