The 'Ick' Factor

[NOW PLAYING: I Begin To Spin - Dannii Minogue v. Dead or Alive]

WARNING: Lying around for ten days with the bunny lung lurgy can result in a Dannii Minogue-type appearance:



Oh dear gawd! It's the 'gay tilt' ...

That was NOT intentional ... but it did make me laugh.



What a contrast! The picture of me is Photoshop-free and all-natural. Perhaps I should reconsider that.

Tomorrow is a shaving day. Ten days on, I look like a Wookiee ...

Wookiee Minogue?

The Bunny Lung Lurgy.

[AKRON - Things *can* always get worse.]

New Year's Eve!



Where were you?

At midnight, London time, I was still in casualty at Akron City Hospital, having just been diagnosed with acute bronchitis. For now, I am on Doxycycline and an Albuterol inhaler. This comes after three days festering in bed with a fever over 39c.

At midnight, Ohio time, I did manage to escape the isolation of my room and sit on the edge of the stairs, a careful distance from Ray who cannot be exposed to my germs. "Happy new year" and then everyone went to bed.

So that's that.



I've a few more days in bed, methinks, so keep those funny online greeting cards coming!

:-)

Thanks.

PS - Ray was not home for Xmas but I was with him at Cleveland Clinic from 11 AM till 10 PM. He had a stream of visitors throughout the day and received quite a few lovely presents. Ray was, however, home for Boxing Day.
