Influenza

I've had the flu for 9 days now. The body aches/headache/fever/cough version. Influenza, the real thing.

I haven't taken my temperature yet today, but it's just possible this could be my first day without a fever.

I did go to the same-day clinic yesterday. The doctor said that my chest and lungs sound fine, but the cough could last for another 2-3 weeks or more.

At least I'll be immune to this strain after this, hopefully.

Ugh. We had the 24-48ish hour flu run through our house this weekend. At least our strain knew when it was time to go. Fish, company, and the flu stink after three days (and then some).

Hi PK,

So sorry to hear you have been unwell the last couple of weeks. I was getting a bit concerned as you hadn't written in awhile. You had been having a good run of late.

How are the rest of the family, I look forward to your posts and photos.

Take Care and look forward to some more stories about you, the girls and your Fur Kids as well, not to mention Hubby.

Lots of Love and Hugs to ALL Carolynn XXXXXXXXXX

Keep resting! I had a really nasty flu back in 2003 or 2004, and it hung on for a long time like yours is doing. I never remember being that sick before. My unsolicited advice is to get as much rest as you can, and don't push it until you are (for sure) well again. Some things you just have to ride out.
