I came to Hawaii with my friend Monica to recover from the month of January--which was nothing but treatments, back to back--but it didn't turn out that way.
I suspect I brought the bug with me, since I was already feeling sick the first day after we arrived, but it ran the full course: sore throat, sinus infection, clogged up lungs, and swollen, tender lymph nodes.
As you can imagine, I spent most of the week in bed, feeling like crap, wishing I were at home, but also afraid to fly there with these sore lymph nodes.
Not much fun for Monica either, she got lots of exercise--alone--and took care of me. She also helped me get an antibiotic called in by my doctor in Seattle. That seems to be working, so today's flight home will be uneventful--cross your fingers.
I've gotten sick the last two times I've traveled, which could be coincidence, or it could be a sign that my immune system is pretty whacked.
Anyway, I'll be back home in Seattle tomorrow, trying to put out fires there.

Hi Jeanne,
Not the way to spend a vacation. Get back home and get some rest.
Planes are just so polluted. You need a road trip when you are better and the weather is warmer.
