[TPIN] trumpet and cold symptoms...

[Andy Del]

Hi Peter

As far as your conjunctivitis goes, if you were prescribed antibiotics,
and didn't finish the full course of drops, you failed to know off the
infection. It's now a little stronger than before - you bumped of the
wear germs - so always finish the entire course you're given!

Your throat doesn't sound like a cold - go see a good (GOOD!) GP.

And stay home from the rehearsal.

Cheers

Andy

Today marks two weeks (!) for this cold, and I thought it was pretty
much
gone (nose is clear) but woke up today with another slight bout of
conjunctivitis and slight throat inflammation (difficulty swallowing).
Ibuprofin works wonders for the throat and I have antibiotic eyedrops
(which
I had stopped using after a couple days since it all cleared up and
seemed
in the past).  My energy is largely returned. (I'm seldom sick and in 12
years I hadn't taken 5 sick days -- but last week took 5 in a row (!),
so
this is highly unusual).

Here's the question: did I give myself a relapse by practicing last
night? I
thought cold viruses couldn't really survive outside the body. I boiled
my
mouthpiece this morning and washed out the lead pipe with a snake and
warm
soap water. I have rehearsal tonight -- should I go?
