Sick again. Are we surprised?

Considering 2011 has turned into the year from hell so far, should we be surprised that another one has bit the dust?  I currently have a double ear infection and a sinus infection.  Lovely.  I can't sleep unless I am totally upright and the pressure in my nose is so bad that it hard to swallow.  There is a huge storm coming in and the pressure from that will probably not help anything!  I started antibiotics and lets hope things start to look up!
