Watch the advil, or more properly, be aware of how your
stomach feels. Always take the advil with food.

Yes.

She also said no strenuous exercise for the next two months. Yeah,
right, like that's gonna happen. I'm going skiing next weekend. And
yes, I'll take it easy.

Better than not skiing at all.

So, no coughing, laughing, sneezing or hugging for me for a
while...

Well, there is skiing.

Good luck, get well sooner.

Thanks!

I just never realized it would take so long to heal, but even though I
act like it, I'm not as young as I think I am....
