Short Break

I had an extraordinary scare yesterday. I had awakened at 5 AM feeling really sick but struggled into work any ways. At 10 AM I was doubled over in excruciating pain with muscle spasms hitting a band around the abdominal area in waves. Several hours in the Emergency Room later it was diagnosed as that new strain of flu going around. This is really nasty stuff. It will probably be a couple of days before I really feel like writing here again. The picture shows how my insides feel.
