I was congratulating myself on not having succumbed to any lurgies when I wrote the post last week about our wet review weekend. Hah! Since the weekend I have been wheezing like a chain smoker on 40 Players a day, and am astonished by how much I’m sleeping.
It appears to be a chest infection, something I was well used to in the days when I smoked heavily – which I’m glad to say was nearly 20 years ago. Since then my lungs have remained germ free but a particularly tenacious bug seems to have settled in there. Sometimes it just makes my chest feel tight, but if, like last night, Paul made me laugh too much, I started coughing and couldn’t stop. So I blame it all on him…
We have a big gig at the Poly in Falmouth on Saturday, though, so I am desperate to be well enough for that. Three of us are singing a couple of numbers which we’ve been rehearsing for weeks, and it would be too unfair not to be able to perform. Although the mere thought of it sends me into spasms of terror.
So think of me on Saturday evening. I will either be wracked with nerves, and spluttering quietly in a corner. Or wheezing and grinding my teeth at home. I hope, knowing me, it will be the former. By hook or by crook…..

I do hope you will be better. These chest infections can be tenacious! :)
Thanks Sally - I know you've had your fair share of them this year!
I hope you're feeling well enough for the gig on Saturday. I presume you have anti-biotics for the chest infection?
My doc said no antibiotics, Ak, but I have an inh aler which helps.
Kay says a lots of infections clear up without antibiotics these days, so doctors only prescribe those as a last resort. Get well soon. x
Feel better soon! Chest infections are no fun. Take as many naps as you can. :)
Melissa - I will do!
Addy - that's what the doc said too. Just wish it would hurry up!
A lovely hot toddy (with a good glug of brandy) works wonders!
I'm keeping everything crossed for you making that Saturday gig, Sue.
Take very good care of yourself. xx
Rena - I'd better get some brandy! Shame they dont sell those miniature bottles anymore...!
There have been an awful lot of bugs about this winter, and some pretty nasty too.
Hope the gig goes well.
