.... but not by much!
Just spent the last week in hospital (ambulance, blue lights, sirens - the works!) with what turned out to be rather nasty pneumonia. Still
recovering - lots of coughing, wheezing and totally knackered - told I
can't do anything for at least 2 weeks.
Now more to the point..when I do return to working the doc tells me I must wear a mask when working - I restore antiques, which exposes me to dust, wire wool fibres and occasionally chemicals - but really more just dust particles. Does anyone know anything about breathing masks? I had a look in the local DIY place... There are obviously the cheapo disposable ones (about 1), the medium disposable ones (about 10) and the expensive filter replacement ones (about 30-ish + filters). Is there much difference between any of these in terms of functionality / comfort? (I'd be wearing one for many hours a day)
Cheers,
Matt
