I came down with it on Monday..Hit really fast! I went to work at 6am, by 10:30, my temp was up, I was achy, my hands were almost completely numb (and yet they hurt..how does that work?), and I started coughing. I went home, figuring I'd feel better after getting some rest. Next day, even worse. My 87 yr old Mom, who doesn't drive much at all anymore (thankfully), talked me into going to the clinic. Fortunately, it's not far from here, LOL..By this time I could barely walk, I couldn't focus my eyes at all, or keep them open for that matter. I fell on the floor when I tried to get my shoes on so figured it would be easier just to stay there and put 'em on..Turns out my temp was 103.8. Yep, I had the flu. Can't get flu shots because I'm allergic to eggs, so the doctor (bless her forever) gave me a handfull of samples of Tamiflu. I kept taking Tylenol & started the Tamiflu & started feeling better within hours. Still totally worthless. I guess this flu keeps you weak and poopy feeling for five to six days. Yuck. Between my daughter's tonsilectomy and now the flu (which of course, EVERYONE in the house has, even those who had the flu shot), I've burned through all my sick time and one of my three weeks vacation..It's not even April yet..So far 2008 is not my favorite year. On the bright side, I haven't had an appetite for 4 days, so maybe I'll lose the weight I gained over this past winter..Pleeze???
