Anti-Antibiotics

I have had this recurring upper respiratory infection crap since early December. I have had two rounds of antibiotics. I am fine a few days after I start the antibiotics, then the infection comes back a few days after I finish the antibiotics. The infection comes back with a vengeance, so I decided that what I have is one of those crazy sister viruses of SARS or influenza that like to make their presence known around this time of year, and antibiotics are not going to do anything for me.

I started getting sick again Monday night. I felt terrible on Tuesday;in addition the the upper respiratory virus, I apparently ate some bad mussels at the Chinese buffet, so I spent Tuesday night worshipping the three-toed yak. Apparently I have selective vomiting, because the mussels came up and everything else I ate or drank that day stayed down. I am even more afraid of buffets, now.

Rehearsal was cancelled Wednesday night, due to some unfortunate circumstances and I was off Thursday night, so I was able to go home and go to bed on Wednesday and Thursday. Let me just say that Zicam is fantastic! I have also been taking Wal-borne, which is generic Air-borne. My main concern is with losing my voice again, you see, as I have to gig Friday and Saturday night.

I am still very stuffed up today, but I think my voice will hold out. Okay, I pray my voice will hold out. There is no telling what will happen after I have to inhale second-hand smoke for four hours.

C'mon smoking ban!
