Average person gets 3 colds per year, and it's probably higher when you have a young child in the house. In 2013 I did very well and hardly got sick at all.
Most of the missed radio earlier in the year was due to traveling and from pain after breaking my ribs.
I would rate the severity of this cold as "above average, but not terrible". So I can function, but it's hard to sleep at night, my voice has faded, and it seems to be very slow-moving.
