I started feeling sick on Saturday morning, actually right after Greg’s farewell party on Friday night, and the various non-doctors that I consulted diagnosed it: “Chinese flu!”.   The set of symptoms are a weird combination:   a splitting headache, muscle soreness (just like the North American version bestows upon you), and enervation.   The pieces missing:   sore throat, congestion.   So, it wasn’t really so bad.   I mean, it made sleeping it off and resting much much easier.   I started recovering quickly except maybe I pushed a little too much on Tuesday and walked down to the massage place to get some soreness rubbed out.   Well, I felt too tired after that.   So, I rested up another full day and was 100% by Thursday.
