You guys are so wonderful.
Yes, I have been sick. Better now.
Three visits to the doctor, I finally got some anti-biotics, and only in the last few days do I really feel well again.
Neil Tarvin told me he was out with this for about 5 weeks.
A warning to anyone who thinks they might have this "little bug"...
My doctor says he's seeing people typically take anywhere from 3-6 weeks to recover from it. He doesn't know what it is, but says it seems to start as a virus (they don't respond to anti-biotics) and then often goes bacterial (probably because of all the inflamation and compromised immunity).
I tell you all this to say...don't wait to go see your health care professional about this. In my case, it did not go away all on its own.
And Jay...I don't know if you noticed, but I made it a point not to shake hands because I didn't want to pass this on to anyone else.
Thanks again for the well-wishes.
