Sorry! I Need to Take Another Day Off-This Cold Is Worse Than I Thought

I started wheezing today. I didn't know if going out to get water had made me catch another chill.

Starting tomorrow, I'd try not to go out. Taking three days off out of four... Honestly, I hadn't had such a bad cold in many years.

I'd been in poor health as a child, practically either at the hospital or on the way there. I was often carried to the hospital in the middle of the night, and I didn't know how many times I'd nearly died outright.

But from around fourth or fifth grade onward, even a fever of 38 or 39 degrees would clear up after lying down for a day or two.

After becoming an adult, I caught a cold only a few times every year or two.
