flu shmooh!

the euphoria of last wednesday swiftly converted into an enervated delirium as flu took hold.

by friday night i was flat-bound and very much on the brink of illness. brinkley feverish, brinkley bed-ridden; brinkley wiped-out but ultimately fine. more a rather intense and spontaneous detox than an illness as such.

emerging from it now and feeling brinkley well.

what's all this worry about bird flu? felt cocky (sorry...) who cares if it hits everyone in the world. can't people handle a bad cold?

then i read descriptions of the symptoms of H5N1: 'the birds affected didn't so much die as melt, blood leaking from every orifice including their eyes...'

suspect i haven't been suffering from flu after all.

"hypochondria doctor!?! don't tell me i've got that as well..."
