stoutfellowThis blasted cold, which had faded to an intermittent cough, has suddenly resurged; the cough has worsened and now my ear seems to be involved. I'm staying home again today, with the assurance that someone will be found to cover my calculus class tonight. I'm just hoping I'll feel better tomorrow.
The enforced leisure does, at least, give me an opportunity to compose the next installment of the Ramble, hopefully to be posted sometime later today.

I know you know this; I just thought if I made you *more* irritated with medical trivia, you'd not notice your earache as much (g)!
Perhaps I need a new icon that will advise potential readers that the post contains unsolicited medical advice from a nonprofessional (g).
Seriously, no fun. If it's not better, please do call your doctor. It may have become a bacterial infection...
