Or rather, stupid human parainfluenza virus #1. That’s the virus that causes croup. However, I find when I tell people I have parainfluenza they think I have something worse than influenza, oddly.
Croup is for babies. Babies with wee windpipes that can be narrowed by the croup. Supposedly adults have big yawning windpipes and can’t get croup: they can just get the virus and cough.
My windpipe feels very narrow, though.
Also, because fate is cruel, I have thrown my back out.
It occurs to me that alcohol is good for a cough and good for back spasms and good for pelvic floor spasms, all of which I have. Time for a nightcap.
