I developed a cough towards the end of December which has gradually got worse over time. Christmas was uneventful. I did nothing and went nowhere. In January I failed to get my cycling back on track due to the cough. Instead I embarked on a programme of ordering cheap Sopranos DVDs and CD copies of albums I used to own in the 1980s. I bought CDs by Human League, Jesus and Mary Chain, Japan, John Foxx, and OMD. I also bought a Bruce Springsteen box set of all his early albums for less than £10.
Also in January I found out that my job was safe. I was not being culled - not this time anyway. My tenants boiler survived the winter with no breakdowns. I got more ill.
In February I had two days off work when I felt really lousy - about a month ago. I returned to work but the cough was worse again. Then on 5th of March I booked a doctors appointment. The doctor put me on antibiotics but I got worse. By the end of the week I could barely make it to the front door. On Saturday 12th of March I had to go to A&E at 1.00am due to breathing difficulties. I was given a much higher dose of anti-biotics and steroids, as well as drugs to relax my lungs. 10 days later and I'm starting to feel normal again.
Can't wait to get back onto the bike.
