Same here, Trev. The breathing is easing but still coughing and producing industrial quantities of snot round the clock, but not quite matching Elaine's output. Strained rib muscles finish off the list of ailments. And we're back to a banket of cloud in the pouring rain so the opoosite side of the Forth has disappeared again for the day. It's been about 10 days now, but we are each seeing small signs of improvement, so next week should see us functioning properly again. If not, there's always the Vet, where it's easier to get an appointment ... :D

I had the lurgy in the week before Xmas. The main poorly feelings had gone - thankfully - by Xmas Eve however even now I still have the vestiges of it: sore throat sometimes; tickly throat sometimes; cough sometimes. Mrs GMJ is asthmatic and she had it the week before I did and still has a productive cough shall we say!

Sounds about the same, Graham. I did manage to get out yesterday to get cough linctus from the Pharmacy, but I was knackered after 100m, and wheezing away, wondering why there's never a zimmer frame when you need one! The NHS Chief Exec mentioned today high levels of Respiratory Synctial Virus ['RSV'] as an additional burden on the NHS at present, affecting the very young and the elderly. The symptoms, especially bronchial blockage, and that awful feeling of drowning when lying down, as well as the short incubation period of 3-5 days, are consistent with Elaine's and my symptoms. I've never had a winter cold develop so quickly and so badly, especially after 4 years of winter flu jags, and the continuing production of the bronchial waste fits the description. Finally, the last 'normal' day I had was wandering around Aldi with the rest of the Hogmanay shoppers in close contact around the New Year 'essential shopping' shelves!

'Are you bothering with Covid for New Year, hen?'
'Naw, giving it a miss this year, Thought we'd try RSV instead for a change ...' :D

Couch potatoe today, I’ve had a man cold for 3 days which has been crap.
Feel slightly improved today but throat still like sandpaper and coughing is painful to say the least.
To make matters worse was at doctors Thursday for yearly heart check as I have a heart condition. Blood pressure ok but heart rate 37 bpm so nurse had a mad panic and and called the doctor in who put me on the ecg machine. Heart beat irregular so ambulance called to take me to local hospital.
Doctor managed to call my consultant who suggested I stop one of my tablets and recheck in 3/4 days, so ambulance cancelled.
if no improvement when checked over next Tuesday it’s looking like I will need a pacemaker and potentially a defibrillator !
So sent home and advised to take things easy, no heavy lifting or exertion and if have any dizziness or feeling faint have to go to A&E.
I should have realised something was amiss as my Apple Watch has been occasionally alerting me to low heart rate for a few weeks but I just put it down to the Watch playing up.
 
Morning

Off food shopping today then general laziness will prevail.
 
Still not good today, my sides feel like tender meat, and cannot touch the skin, bit like shingles, my lungs are shot to hell and Asma playing merry hell, tummy feels like a full gun of ammo about to off, yes it's very windy. :eek:
 
...and it's hitting your spelling badly too Trev :D
