I hope you beat this soon, and my better half isn't succumbing the way he did last year - walking pneumonia and a late-night ride to the OR when he sounded hallucinatory (my bad, he was just dreaming while awake - but goodness, he was sick).

people are saying three weeks or so; best beloved is winding up week three as we speak.

salud! to your health! (why not drink coffee to it now? seems more appropriate than when healthy and happy.)

Thankee (he said, grabbing his coffee mug). Everyone I've talked to that's had this has been saying two to three weeks as well. I've just finished Week One. It put me in bed for several days last week - I'm hoping just to tough out the rest of its course. Fortunately, no sign of infection of the Missus or the Llama-ettes so far. I hope it stays that way.

best beloved had a day-and-a-half in bed, so you should have a bearable week or so ahead. and it's funny, but we haven't gotten it either, especially since the baby (19-year-old college boy) gets about everything blowing on the wind. a little sickly, but smart as a whip. drink lots of juice and coffee.
