The two people I knew where 100% bed ridden for two weeks with similar symptoms and then got up. There was a turning of the corner involved and that is what is not clear from the text but to cheer you up it does not seem to be getting worse!
I know a preacher who had very similar symptoms. He's an avid vegetable gardener and I've had several conversations with him about growing different things. It drove him absolutely nuts, looking out the window, unable to do away with the last of the summer stuff and get his fall garden in...He couldn't run his tiller, he couldn't even use his hand tools to plant his raised beds.
He couldn't make it to his church, to even deliver a sermon. Even three weeks after the lethargy started.
As he recovered, he eventually got to the point he could walk out in the yard and supervise his grown boys, as they worked and planted his raised beds. He's about two months down the line and I talked with him last week...He's picking a few mustard greens out of his beds and eyeing where he'll plant sugar peas in the garden. Last week, he preached a weekend revival, three sermons in three days.
He says he's not quite back to 100%, but he's a lot better. Patience, patience, patience.

Hot Toddies work best by drinking the whiskey separately, then drinking the tea with lemon and honey...

I've avoided commenting in this thread for 2 reasons - I think highly of George and his family and this is hitting me a bit hard, and 2, it's bringing back memories of the sheer terror I felt watching my wife go through this. Sarah came very close to dying from pneumonia twice during her bout with this virus. George, tell her I'm praying for her, Sarah is praying for her, and to watch out for the pneumonia thing.

Thanks, Larry. Your prayers and thoughts are really, really, appreciated.

Speaking of, how is the wife doing nowadays?

She's doing well. She's having to take antibiotics right now because she developed a fever some days ago, and it seems she may have a touch of pneumonia coming back, but so far so good. She's asthmatic, so her lungs aren't all that strong to start with.

I'm not familiar with "rail booze." I like the metaphor, though.

Cheap liquor, a lot of time it’s not even on the shelf but in the rail under the bar. Typically used for mixed drinks.

But it's a hobo reference, right?
