Sickly.

Bronchitis


Acute bronchitis is most often caused by viruses that infect the epithelium of the bronchi, resulting in inflammation and increased secretion of mucus. Cough, a common symptom of acute bronchitis, develops in an attempt to expel the excess mucus from the lungs. Other common symptoms include sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion (coryza), low-grade fever, pleurisy, malaise, and the production of sputum.[1]

Acute bronchitis often develops during the course of an upper respiratory infection (URI) such as the common cold or influenza.

I have been sick for 2 weeks.  Granted I'm not a man with white hair, but i think my lungs feel like that picture looks.  Someone bring me soup and a new tv for my room so i can lay in bed and watch a movie.
