I've had a bad cold for almost a month

I guess the best thing I can sy is that I didn't have a flu.  I never ran a fever. I just kept getting a recurring sore throat, head cold, and the usual sinus problems.  Considering how bad the weather has been, I didn't mind staying in the house.  I made the effort to go to Mass on Christmas and the following Sun--2 days later-- and was sick again by Tues even though I didn't touch anyone.  This week I skipped Mass because I have doc appts I have to go to.  I'm finally feeling normal.  If you've read my posts in the past, you know I give myself leeway in describing "normal."  Bob
