[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 7952333, member: 59816"] My family is (perhaps strangely) still fine. Our best guess is that they are asymptomatic carries, because we can't believe that we have done enough to keep them from being exposed, and it's supposed to by highly contagious. I mean, we haven't touched, and I haven't coughed on or near them (and then, I'm not bad at keeping it in my sleeve) but still, if it's so contagious, they pretty much [I]have[/I] to have been exposed to it. So far so good, I guess. As far as [I]my[/I] health goes, I wish I had better news. I mean, I really, really wish: First, a [B]Gaming Reference[/B]: In the depths of the Underdark, on the shores of the Darklake, lies the city of Gracklestugh. Ruled by the Deep King of the Duergar, the fires of the dark dwarves' forges burn day and night. Having burned all of the nearby zirkwood (tree-like mushrooms) forests, the duergar have turned to fuel that they can mine: coal and oil to heat their forges. Worse still, the strange winds of the dark lake blow towards the city, more often than away. The city is in a cavern that is shrouded in a constant, choking fog. This leads to a common ailment known as Grackle-Lung, which causes wheezing, coughing fits, and a characteristic popping noise when the infected breathes. Most duergar can live with grackle-lung, with raspy voice and a constant cough, but their weaker servants and slaves are often brought low by the sickness. (Note: I have no idea how much of that is cannon and how much I made up.) [B]Thusday[/B] and [B]Friday[/B] I have been making "jokes" about having [I]Grackle-Lung[/I] (told you I pretty much [I]live[/I] D&D). My lungs keep crackling when I breath. I made the mistake of thinking that it was just left-over from the illness, and that I was mostly on the mend. I was looking forward to getting back to work Tuesday, when my 14 days would be up. (Even if the store's closed to the public, there's lots I could be doing...) [B]Saturday [/B]I came down with a fever again. Also the first time I've had nausea, IIRC. This thing seems to keep trying to find new ways to take me out. Also, my head has been killing me, and Tylenol is not helping. I feel like I'm in some kind of mental haze. My head is just not quite working right. I can't really explain it better than that. [B]Sunday[/B] has been no better so far. I think I might be in for another week.... [/QUOTE]
