Madeleine, thank you! I went to the doc yesterday and it's a pretty nasty bronchial infection. I have been out of the office since last Thursday, and am still sick as a dog, but since I'm not contagious and the boss is in town, as well as there being a large all-hands nationwide call I want to shepherd to completion, I'm going back tomorrow. Today I picked up my laptop and worked from home, so that's a nice advantage.
Especially so, as the cold water pipe burst in my downstairs bathroom today. Because: of course.
Also, headache. Because, again: of course. LH, try what works for me - ice packs at the base of your neck and/or over your forehead. Sometimes, better than all the NSAIDs in the world - plus, it's so hot, it will feel good!
I just hope I have a voice of some sort tomorrow. I've woken up for the past three days literally afraid to even try to talk. (Please feel free to insert "THANK GOODNESS!" jokes here ...

)
