Cold and Flying
Hi Firefly bob,
Im very sorry to hear about your cold.
On the 23 April I came down just a mild headache. I operated that night and managed to block an ear on descent. Since then ive been on a rollar coaster ride of very extreme headaches, feeling like ive been physically kicked in the head, ear aches , sore throat, diarrhea, and slight shortness of breath. Its been on going to a greater or lessor degree for two weeks and 5 days now.
The bug continually seems to change in nature from one day to the next. Treating me to a painful sore throat were eating solids was not possible on one day and then the next day having only a mild sore throat but severe headache. Next day no headache but really painful glands in the neck and then next day ear ache but glands much less painfull. And so it goes on morphing from day to day. It has on occasions been very unpleasant.
Also been to the GP who did the usual blood pressure say ahhh peer into the throat and sent me on the way with you will be all right in three weeks mate.
Its a real bugger and seems to show no real sign of clearing fully yet! Hope to be flying by end of week as three weeks seems to be enough of this nonsense.
