Man, I got this bug a week ago, and I've never seen anything like it. I
lost my voice 6 days ago (The kids are loving it. Mary *was* loving it,
until she discovered that she had to answer all of my phone calls!), with no
sign of it returning.

I've slept in my LazyBoy the last six nights, cuz my lungs fill up every 90
minutes or so when I lay down, sending me into coughing fits that keep Mary
up all night.

Flying has been completely out of the question.

At Mary's insistence, I'm actually going to see a doctor today. (Who, no
doubt, will tell me to drink lots of fluids, take aspirin, get lots of
sleep, and charge me a hundred bucks...) According to friends in our
school district, this bug has been knocking people down in droves around
here for the last month.

Anyone else infected, or is this an Iowa thing?

I thought a Pathfinder was a low-winger. Are you telling me that a
low-wing pilot is going to the doctor for a cold? My supposed
understanding of the natural order of things has been shattered.
(Just in case this cold has put you on edge or muted your sense of
humor, this is all in jest Hope you feel better soon and get back
in the air.
