Not viral.
Not flu.
Chest infection, and as I'm asthmatic it's bad. I'm having difficulty breathing. Ok sitting here with my feet up, but just walking around gets me gasping for air.
Peak flow readings are usually 550 to 600 these days. 650/700 a few short years ago. The meter only goes up to 1000.
Today, I just managed 200 and then coughing my heart up. The doc wouldn't let me try again.
I must be ill, I wasn't able to walk to the village, let alone cycle there. Mrs Mick F drove me, waited, then drove me home.
I must be very ill ........... not going to the pub this evening like we always do on a Friday.
