I was thinking about SMC and how many posts I have made over the last couple of weeks..............there have been days when it has been very small, and a couple of days I seem to have almost posted on every thread............some more than once :eek:

Truth is..........I have been sick for the last week..........I am nursing a severe sinus infection which has gone down into my chest. I have had to continue my job, albeit scaled back some to only the very necessities. Very little voice, and a lot of coughing and hardly no sleep.

This forum has helped me pass some of the time when I have had enough energy to engage.............

Thanks to you all for putting up with me ..............I appreciate it! :)

Roger, glad to be here for you - until you cough on me!!!! Then we are done!:D

Hope you kick this thing soon - been there, and didn't have any fun!

Ah.........nurse ratchet appears :p ..........Thanks John..........With the help of God and the antibiotics the doctor gave me yesterday..........and the good nursing skills of my wife [herself a registered nurse] I should be okay in a few days....

The pollen has been unbelievable this year, and mold spores as well [very wet spring] and I have 19 white pines around my house that are just spewing clouds of pollen so thick the air has turned yellow-green. Not helping the allergies at all!

Seriously, I do appreciate all these good folks that engage on SMC....that includes you! ;)

Roger - we all have spells when we don't feel well... I hope you kick this bug soon and get back to feeling 100% very soon!

Sinus infections are the worst!!! They just take everything out of you. Those breathe right nose strips help with sleeping though.

Get well soon Roger. I can't make fun of you if you're sick!!

Nurse Ratchet....what a hoot!:)

Between the Oak pollen, Pine pollen and having crohn's, there have been a few days in the past few months where I haven't gone out of the house and probably slept 16 hrs a day. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope all are feeling better soon. They say the rain this year in increasing the problems with pollen and allergies.

Sounds like you are on your way to mending. Hope it is soon and complete. Can't wait for John H to start making fun of you again.

The antibiotics should get things going in the right direction in short order, Roger, I really hope so, for your sake. I just got over a bronchial infection myself, got the best of me for 3 weeks, until the Dr. put me on antibiotics and prednisone. Keep smiling Roger.

You have my sincere sympathies - my entire house is green from the pollen. This is the worst year I've ever seen - I hope you feel better soon!
