Eh. It won't be the worst holiday season of my life—that was in sixth grade, when I had chicken pox and mono simultaneously for Hanukkah. Now that was something.
Up until my mid-twenties, I was sick every year for my birthday. When I was in San Francisco, it was strep throat or poison oak outbreak (I was hypersensitive to it, and it was everywhere in San Fran), and one memorable year, both. After we moved, it was strep throat or bronchitis. Then in my mid-twenties, the pattern changed. I would either be sick for my birthday or sick for Christmas. At twenty six, I was sick for all of December. In January, I was diagnosed with CFIDS, which explained it all.
Well, today and yesterday's fun and excitement is an all-over body rash with swelling in the face and extremities. I went to see the doctor about it yesterday, and have another appointment now for tomorrow morning. Current speculation is that I got a windgust of at least one thing to which I'm allergic (not difficult).
Considering your condition at the time, I'd say any possible upside would be welcome, though...yeah. Bleh.

Bleh. How are you currently doing?

It was reasonably abysmal. The only possible upside was that because of the exhaustion from the mono, I couldn't scratch at the pox . . .

Yikes. All you want for New Year's is a friendly immune system?
Feel better!
