My wife has had this cold/flu exactly a week longer than I have. For me, that means I'm fortunately able to tell when approximately the symptoms will subside. Today marks 1 week since the start of this cold with a fever. I'm guessing I only have another 3 days or so with detectable symptoms, but I'm not sure when I'll start to get my normal energy levels back. I'm tired of this sickness, so it's time to heal and get back to my life.
