Somehow fran I think the alcohol while nice at the time will just make it worse with a hangover to add to the misery. I hope the doc can give you something to knock it out of your system. I am sloooowly getting there. The gastro is settling more each day and I still have a cough and sore throat at times but not as bad, dodgy voice and switchboard work are not really good partners I can assure you.

I think rest is about the best cure for most things. At least amoungst all this my back seems to have settled down which is a great relief.
