A bad month so far

We believe it all started when a man at the Zoo sneezed all over Glynis at the beginning of the month, suffice to say she got a sore throat, then lost her voice and was generally unwell. Coughing put her back out so she now has a bad back as well. She also passed something on to me, (we think) as I exhibited similar symptoms. The cold and flu medicines I took then upset my stomach causing me to get gastritis for which I was given another packet of pills, plus two more for the original illness. They do seem to be working but it is now over two weeks since the start of this sickness period, we're still not fully recovered and Emily has now gone down with it and is currently off work.

I'm looking forward to us all being better so we can resume our normal lives, which apear to have been put on hold for a while.

Moral: if somebody near you is sneezing, turn your back and run away!
