Update...

The fever seems to have mostly gone. I haven't made a Kleenex look like the Italian flag since about 0700.

There are some things that have made this more complicated than getting sick normally is, but those will have to stay (REDACTED) for another couple days.

I still feel like I've been beaten all over with a sock full of nickels, but two aspirin make that go away nicely.

The trick now will be clearing my lungs without triggering the sort of involuntary coughing fits that can bring on a good case of bronchitis. Delsym to the rescue.
