The Cold That Will Not Leave

During the time that I have been fighting this cold/bronchitis/pneumonia, I have slept and awoken at strange times.

Sometimes in the middle of the night I’ve been coughing so hard  that I wake up and cannot get back to sleep. So I turn on the TV to watch something, and I have discovered something I long ago suspected, but wasn’t quite sure of.

There is nothing on the TV in the middle of the night! I click around and around and nothing at all!

I have watched documentaries on frogs, reruns of the Tonight show and even Conan O’Brien, who I really can’t stand, but at 2 AM, it’s any port in the storm!

Fritz loves it. He enjoys the TV and will actually jump around the bedroom while I click through the channels. The dackels are never bothered!

I was awake coughing so much Tuesday night, that I kept falling asleep during the day on Wednesday. I just have felt so run down and so tired.

And I wonder how much longer until I feel well? Have you ever had a virus that seemed to go on and on?

  1. Yep, I had it one fall and it took forever to feel better. I was not a good patient and ended up taking two courses of antibiotics, but at long last I got well. I have to say I hated it! You are not alone, but still you might want to check with your doctor is this keeps on. Love YOU, Mel
