(erm, that's meant to be about people sick in movies. Y'know, the "oh, dear, gonna die of a mysterious wasting disease that leaves one beautiful up until the very end, but with a known demise-date, so that everyone can get all teary and lovey" sort.)

Anyway. I'm glad to hear you're getting better rather than worse, and I leave you with a magical talisman -- Dayquil capsules. You may be of the sort for whom this doesn't work, but for me, Dayquil caps are a magic bullet, albeit a dangerous one. I end up feeling like Superman and wearing myself out, but Dayquil makes me feel not only better/well but superhuman.
