December virus

I decided today to go to my doctor.  He says "I have seen many patients with this virus..you just have to let it run its course".  He said it last about 7 - 10 days.  Ok, today is day 7, and tonight I feel lousy.  Will three more days really make a difference?  I bought a humidifier today.  My husband asked "Why did you choose a Frog?' I told him my other option was a cow. Need I say more. Hope it helps, whatever creature it looks like. This is not the best way to have Christmas cheer, but I know it could be worse, so I am thankful it is only a "cold virus".  It is all in the attitude, you know.
