Had Influenza Type-A for 10 days. Now, another 10 days after the symptoms and fever disappeared, i’m still coughing. Lungs clear, but something ain’t right.
Lungs feel clear.
However, there’s a persistent throat clearing cough that is in it’s 10th day. And this is after 10-days of Influenza Type-A.
Physician’s Assistant said this may last weeks, possibly months.
Meanwhile, we cannot rule out this is simply a side-effect from post-nasal drip from a more than 20-year battle against pollen allergies.
Time will tell.

So on the third day, Christmas Day, i was well into the physical affects.
Body aches. Fever. Head and chest congestion. Tired. No appetite.
Luckily, never had headaches.
Thank you DayQuill and NightQuill. BIG TIME!
Today is the first day that feels like progress.
Not yet physically at a ‘good” level. But it feels near.
Woke up at 1:00 AM drenched in sweat.
Sheets soaked. Both the bottom and the top sheets.
Cheryl has been sleeping in the Guest room most of the week.
Influenza A is highly contagious.
The first three days i thought it was a cold. We did not distance ourselves.
Last night i walked one mile at sunset.
Note: If a typical activity week is Monday through Friday (assume five days weekly), i’ve been averaging about 7 miles per day. And two or three ‘no-gym’ gym workouts. This week i’ve average .2 miles per day and zero gym workouts. Grateful to be alive and with my Family.

Feeling amazingly vibrant 24 hours ago – yesterday giving a keynote speech.
Run over by a bus is the best way to describe what last night and this morning felt like. Healthy and feeling great one minute, the next it’s like a tidal wave.
Am reminded how insanely wealthy we are when we constantly feel healthy.
Reminded how painfully challenging it is when we do not.
The chills were so intense last night, had to wear a heavy sweatshirt. In and out of sleep the entire night, with intense body aches.
Health is wealth is the understatement of the century.
Hello Lane 8 readers. It’s 3:30PM here in Central Florida. It’s also Friday. Woo-hoo!
However, I’m sick and just woke up. There may be a post here later today, but it’s doubtful. Need to fall back to sleep.
Sleep is a great painkiller.
For now, thank you for visiting and wishing you a great Friday, full of good health and a good workout, and good choices with your food, and your rest.
Workouts are anything that challenges you to use your body at least a little more than usual. As simple as parking in the back of the parking lot versus the front.
