šŸŽ¶Chest InfectionšŸŽ¶ (AKA Chain Reaction by Donna Summer)

After my determination to run more regularly Iā€™ve been stuck in bed. But while trying to put together a new playlist stumbled across Donna Summerā€™s Chain Reaction, which just about sums up how I feel.

šŸ¤’

Iā€™m in the middle of a chest infection

My asthmaā€™s bad, feeling such frustration.

I wanna get better, stop all this hot sweat urgh ,

Need a cup of tea.

ā˜•ļø

Iā€™m stuck in bed for a long duration,

Keep coughing hard, there ainā€™t no cessation.

Iā€™ve got the blues, Iā€™ve run out of tissues.

This bug is so beastly.

šŸ¤§

I just have to cough, cough, cough,

Canā€™t run I just cough.

Canā€™t stop it, I cough, cough, cough.

Now Iā€™ve had enough.

šŸ„“ šŸ’Š

Iā€™m on some steroids ā€˜cos my peak flowā€™s lower.

My eyes are puffy, I look like an ogre.

My nose is blocked, I canā€™t even blow errr.

Bones ache like the flu.

And now Iā€™m not running, itā€™s not fun.

Keeping wrapped up in a big pullover.

Just hope my mojo donā€™t decide to hideaway.

Crying, dying, thatā€™s all I can do...

So sorry you are poorly, but great lyrics! I would laugh but would then join you in a coughing fit šŸ˜¬

Iā€™m hoping to actually drag myself out of bed later today as Iā€™m supposed to be visiting my dad. Heā€™s 83 and wants to show me his local gym which has just been referbed. Not sure how much of a work out I will do. Just watching will be enough...

Hmmm I hadnā€™t thought about infecting him. Maybe Iā€™ll rethink ... šŸ¤”

If they werenā€™t referring to you, Iā€™d find those lyrics hysterical Razouski! šŸŽ¶šŸŽ¶

Hope you recover soon and can get back up and running. šŸ‘šŸ¤ž

Thanks cheekychipmunks. At least I should have a good playlist to look forward to. šŸ‘šŸ½

Bad news, but good lyrics! Poor you, I do hope you get to feel better soon. Looking forward to our coffee and PCT next week !

Steroids will hopefully kick in soon. I tried going to the gym with my dad today, but I couldn't do any cardio stuff as I was just wheezing and coughing.

As for the PCT: me too, and I hope I've stopped coughing by then. x x x

Thanks SaskAlliecat I'm getting really fed up with the constant coughing, so tomorrow may well be another duvet day.

Thanks - Iā€™m making sure I pop into the forum regularly even though Iā€™m not running as that seems to keep my mojo bouncing around - canā€™t afford for it to go AWOL while waiting for me to get better. šŸ˜‚
