Misery

I have had a cold for the last week. I was being a trooper, keeping myself well enough to go to work. But at this time I have succumbed to my illness. The cold had moved itself into my chest, resulting in a bad case of bronchitis. My chest is filled with phlegm, it feels like there is an elephant sitting on it and it burns with pain. There is only one word to describe how I feel, and that is miserable...so this is misery.
