Light in the Tunnel

Since I arrived in the flatlands last Friday, a virus of unknown origins has been testing my defensive systems. The prognosis is that I will die but not from this attack. So, all y'all have me to deal with for a little longer yet.

Despite having religiously taken flu shots for decades, this flu-like bug sneaked in Friday night, causing chills and fevers, weakness and the usual crud-like symptoms. It has now substantially vanished, leaving behind some residual effects in the GI tract. I'm still weak but, as they say, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hmmmm, don't they say you see a light in a tunnel as you are dying?
