Anyone else get the flu soon after surgery?

I'm 3 weeks post-op and I think I'm coming down with the flu........anyone else get to enjoy this lovely sequence of events their first few weeks post-op? I know my body's defenses are down (and I've already gotten the "SEE?!?!? This surgery wasn't good for you, you aren't eating and your health is going to suffer!!!" lecture from a "well-meaning" colleague) and that it's probably trying to heal and didn't notice this nasty germ....BUT any suggestions for fighting this thing? I adore you guys and thank you for listening to my kevetching! :-)
