First I want to start by wishing Dad M a Happy Belated Birthday. I did not want to give you the gift of the Flu, so I decided to stay away. (Dr's Orders). I have been home since Thursday, and am finally feeling well enough to get back to work again. It started out Tuesday evening. I sniffled and chilled, and thought....crap I caught a cold. OH WELL....Wednesday at work, I told someone, "I think I'm trying to get sick."
Next time I will be more careful about what I say....because Thursday morning found me at the Doctor's office with a diagnosis from him, of "Congratulations, you have the flu." By now I felt like I had been beaten with a ball bat and all I wanted to do was sleep, which I did.
By Saturday I had broken the fever and since I had to go 24 hours, I get to leave the house. HOOORAAAHHHH. I just wanted everyone to know that it hits hard and fast. Don't ignore it as the TAMIFLU (prescription) really does help. If you haven't gotten your flu shot yet, you might think about it. Wash a LOT, Sneeze and cough into Kleenex and throw them away....drink lots of water, and chicken noodle soup, and pray A LOT. It may sound like overkill but it is a lot better than feeling like "Death warmed over." Stay healthy.
