its just a cold

Saturday night, I had a night sweat.  Just a mild one, not even enough to get my shirt wet.  But night sweats of course are a sign of Hodgkin’s Disease.

So you’ll understand why I was relieved to wake up Sunday morning with a sore throat.  An explanation for a modest spike in temperature.  It’s just a cold.

It is just a cold of course unless you have Bleomycin induced problems in your lungs, then it is not really a cold as much as it is a hack-fest.

Is hack-fest a word?  Firefox didn’t think it was, so I stuck a hyphen in there and got rid of the squiggly red line.

(And I still don’t like the new version of WordPress.)
