I am not myself...

Another night of no more than three hours broken sleep.

Cough.  
Cough.  
Cough.
Cough cough cough
Achoo!
Achoo!
Cough.
Cough.
Cough.
Cough cough cough

Ad infinitum

Ribs feel as though I've been kicked by a horse.  

I am armed with Lemsip, throat lozenges, eight pillows and a bottle of gin water.  Time to attempt sleep.  Wish me luck.
