Do you remember 'Red Dwarf'? This guy over on the right is Lister. Usually he has a normal shaped head but in this episode he has Space Mumps. Needless to say, at the end of the episode his head explodes and he obtains immense relief.
The way he looks is how I felt all this week. I wish my head had exploded to offer me some relief. It is so sad, the thing I looked forward to was...you know just after you blow your gooey nose really hard..your nasal passages make a creaking, sucking sound, then....just for a few seconds...they clear....AAAAAAhhhh. Bliss.
Anyway, I'm over the worst of it now. Little Fink has had her fair share and battled through really well. Mr Fink is busily trying to avoid us so he doesn't get it!
A little dilemma for you...when you are feeling well enough to return to work but are still fairly snotty/coughy/throaty, should you go back or should you get better - then go back?
Personally I'd rather get better then go back, as I work with doctors, I don't want to give it to them and they give it to the patients in the hospital - the patients must be ill to be in the hospital, the last thing they want is to get the lurgy while they are here. What to do?
Answers on a postcard to the usual address please.
