The cold from hell

I realized I had a sore throat, at the beginning of January, before we headed out on our road trip back home, but hoped I would fight off whatever I was catching. Nope! The day after we got back, I was hit with the rest of the symptoms, of what I assume is a rotten cold virus. It peaked after a few days, then held steady for over a week, causing me to go through several boxes of tissue, and a lot of cold medications along the way. Only now after four weeks, has it dwindled down to an irritatingly persistent dry cough. Ugh! I hate this. I'm hoping there is good news - with any luck, my immune system has now been well exercised, and is up to full strength!
