Update:
July 22.
I am pretty sure this is nothing more than a slight head cold and I know I could gut my way through it if I had to, but I don't have to, so why bother?

I'm going to continue taking a little Sudafed and Robitussin so that this doesn't infiltrate my lungs, but I'm pretty sure I'll be back up to 100% within the next couple of days.

If I was really feeling bad, I wouldn't even be on here updating, so that gives you a little bit of an idea of how I'm doing.

Thank you so much for all of your comments.

I had intended on doing a little blogging today, but I had some more difficulties with my microphone and I began to feel like I might be coming down with a slight head cold.  Since one of my nurses was experienced in the same symptoms yesterday I am going to err on the side of caution.  I'm going to take it easy and make sure I get enough rest.

I'll let you all know how my 'respite' went within the next couple of days.
I hope everyone is okay.
