Still ill, though I don't think I need to be killed any more. redcountess is unwell again too, and it's too cold for arkady to leave the house without having an asthma attack. (St. Albans: what happens when Heck does freeze over.) Hence our lack of attendance at squiddity's or incy's and our apologies.

I have three inhalers (Ventolin, Becotide and Flixotide) and a nasal spray (Nasonex) in front of me. They are all steroids. My throat is feeling the effects.

It's not as if I'll even get muscles like beach balls out of the process. On the other hand, I won't get testicles like raisins.
