I'm normal...sort of

Thanks to everyone for all your good wishes on my recovery from this stinky flu. My temp has finally stabilized and I actually slept for the first time in a week without shivering all night. My appetite has returned although thankfully I really couldn't eat very much (is it possible for my pouch to shrink?)....but for some reason I'm only craving carbs (saltines to be specific). Have made sure to get protein and fluids in (before the saltines). Anyhow, although I'm really debilitated, I feel like I can go back to work tomorrow as long as I don't have to run any marathons. So, today my plan is to try to build some stamina without overdoing. I'm going to take a nice hot shower, wash my hair and change my bed linens (again).... Thanks for letting me moan and groan.....and next year....maybe I'll get a flu shot. Anita

Anita, So glad you're on the upswing. This flu hit you really hard, that's for sure! Take it easy, and don't try to do too much. You'll be weak.

Glad your feeling better

I'm so glad that you're feeling better! I taker a flu shot every year but it didn't keep me from getting sick. I think it was just better than if I hadn't. Don't worry we are available for any complaints whenever you need us...

Thank goodness! Yes, make sure you get that shot next year, even if it doesn't cover ALL strains~ You know we'd come over, and wait on you, if we could! ha

Anita, I am so happy to hear that you are feeling better!

Awwww....I've been out of town for a few days so I didn't know you were sick. Hell, I could've come over and brought you some soup!!! Glad you're feeling better. I was at the Dr. last week and my Dr. couldn't believe that I was there for something other than the flu, or some other respitory thing!! It seems that everyone in the county has had some dose! Stay hydrated.....and keep those antibacterial soaps flowing....... and not so much for you, but for the people around you. You don't want anyone to get you sick again while you're resistance is down!

I"m glad you are getting back to normal - sort of. Being sick is never fun. Take care and yes, get the flu shot next year! It's not a guarantee, but I always figure every little bit helps. Vicki

Glad you are feeling better ! I got the flu shot and still got sick ... don't know what it was a cold or flu but my sinuses , ears and throat were hurting . I ran a low grade temp. but didn't have to go to the Dr. with it . My husband also came down with it ... it was more in his chest and he went to the Dr. and got medication for it . The change of weather is so crazy here its enough to make you sick . In the seventies during the day and then it drops to the 30's at night . One day cold the next hot . ~ Cindy

Hey Anita! Thank God you are finally feeling better. I am glad for you! Blessings, Ron
