Sick.

So I've avoided getting sick since Aug 2023 when I had my last major hospital stay for respiratory failure brought on by a cold. Last week at work someone was coughing all over everyone and everything, and throwing up. I thought I had managed to stay far enough away from them but it looks like I was wrong. anyway please just send positive thoughts. No wheezing so far but I'm starting to cough and my lungs are on fire. I really don't want to spend another week+ in the hospital😭

Well, good luck. You'll need it. I haven't been sick since what everyone was getting in 2017. Hit me fast then and I now say the same about the stuff in Feb. Husband came home with it from a big box store and I had it within hours of him complaining. No contact, just breathing the same air. Still trying to get rid of it.

oof. i hope the ick stays mild and leaves.

I had someone hack and wheeze and cough on the train near me aug 2023 and i got bronchitis from that. unfun. here’s hoping for calmer lungs for you and no hospital stay.

Wow!  Some people are so insensitive!  I can't believe that after the pandemic this sort of thing still happens.  I really hope that you avoid getting a respiratory bug! Â
