I’ve had a variation on a ‘cold’ since November.
When it seemed to have turned into a chest infection (I was coughing and hawking so much in a morning that I was being sick), I gave in and went to the doctors. He prescribed a week’s course of horse-tranquilizer antibiotics.
The antibiotics cleared up the infection, but put me on my arse. I was alternately not sleeping and then sleeping for my country. Halfway through the course I fell asleep in the middle of my tea, my missus couldn’t wake me and after 20 minutes rang 111 who told her to call an ambulance. Cue two paramedics at my front door just as I’d come back round. Fun evening.
Took the next two days off work and slept for 14 hours both nights, finished the course and two days later I’m full of snot and lungbutter again. Bored now.
