So bored.

[mickle]

Day ten of confinement to bed with a serious chest infection. I've never been this ill before. Sleeping most of the day and up several times every night with coughing fits. I haven't been on my bike for three weeks and the family is starting to show signs of compassion fatigue.

I never got chest infections when I smoked twenty unfiltered roll-ups a day....

:unhappy face:

Bored bored bored.

You could always clean a chain to relieve the boredom

GWS as I've been in your position many times and it's not nice

I was the same as you, only I smoked more than you. Hardly a day's illness most of my life. I was running, cycling, swimming and backpacking, then I quit smoking.

I haven't been well since and it's nearly four years now. I am beginning to think that one shouldn't quit after so many years. It isn't good for you. I'm not starting again though.

I'm in bed too - knackered my back last Thursday, and since then I haven't managed more than 20 minutes without needing to lie down.

It's slowly starting to improve, but I'm bored out of my mind. I feel like I've watched everything there is to watch and read everything there is to read. If I wasn't able to use my laptop in bed I'd have totally lost the plot.

I swear by a multivitamin with iron, two Omega3 Fish Oil capsules, a zinc tab, and a high-stregth garlic tab every day.

Stopped smoking almost 8 years ago after 18 years of doing it, and took up cycling almost 6 years ago - never felt healthier. Since taking this combination of supplements every morning, I've had one cold in almost three years (as opposed to one every few months before).

Get well soon, Mickle. I had bronchitis back in the mid-90s and remember just how ill I was with that. Chest infections can really knock you for six.

Well, when you're not sleeping or hacking away, we could do with a few more tips. I dare you to post a commuting tip.


Get well and a speedy recovery.

 

[mickle]

Commuting tip eh?.........

I didn't walk further than from the living room to the toilet in October and spent the majority of the month flat on my back with my left leg raised. I thought that i would get through loads of books but Tramadol put paid to that.

I was incredibly bored and lost a stone but didn't have my wife developing compassion fatigue. Planning my rehabilitation didn't take too long. A few walks round the local supermarkets served as physiotherapy. I've got my next cycle tour planned and will be out this weekend on a bike for the first time since Oct 1st.

I never thought that i would look forward to work but getting back was a mighty relief.

GWS Mickle.

Have a few flights of fancy - you never know, they might come to fruition.
