ML,
This guy was one of my direct ancestors.
[Added by edit: actually, that's not an accurate description.
He wasn't like a great grandfather or anything
but had "cousin" status on one side of my family.
But we're sure he was our relative. ]
He didn't get "sick days".
He just did what he needed to survive.
I follow his lead.
I wish you health, my friend.
Get lots of rest. Drink more fluids than you think you need
and eat well. (Forget the 'starve a fever' thing. Eat!)
