Cough, cough, shudder....

I've got what can only be described as the mini-me of the bubonic plague. So, no diving for this tangfish. I spent my whole trip to Vegas holed up in my hotel room with the chills and the heat cranked up to 80 and slept about 16 hours a day, only woke up to take pills and to cough.

Is anyone else suffering from this thing that's going around? Seems to be everywhere!

Nasty sinus infection with rediculous "stabbing in the back of the head" headaches...

Aaaarrrggghhh.... ](*,)

No diving for me for awhile either....

Yep, that's how mine started. Hopefully you skip the chills/fever stage.

Judging from your avatar you must have been in Vegas for the porn convention that was this week.

Hmm how did I know about that?

Hope you feel better!

I was down 4 days before I went back to work. That was last week and I still have a residual cough that does not want to leave.

Strangely, I missed the porn convention. I was there for CES (another kind of porn). The avatar was from last Saturday here in Seattle. I'm pretty sure I got sick *because* of that night.

Gee. I was not in Vegas, I missed the porn convention, I was not in Seattle last Saturday, and so far I am healthy. I am not very supportive, eh Calvin?

However, I do teach middle school so I spend every day with 700 little germ pools....hope you get better soon - I miss diving with you!

I feel for ya, Calvin!

I've been out of the water myself for the past 3 weeks with some crud....doesn't seem to be as bad as yours, but it has kept me clogged up enough that I haven't been able to dive.

John didn't you pick yours up after your trip up north? I have some other friends that are avoiding everyone right now. They have a crud thing that will not go away. Starts in the sinuses then goes away then drops into the lungs a few days later after you think you are okay. Harald got something on a flight from Europe that put him down for over 4 weeks and 2 runs of AB's to finally get clear. It is funny how this seams for follow the Flu shots from Alaska south. Craig i hope you get better soon. When you are healthy we are going to have to go for a dive if you like keep you using you RB.

John any update on the order? Its been dam cold lately.

I expect your Weezle to arrive any day now. They didn't ship until after the 1st of the year.

I'll e-mail you as soon as it gets in.
