Home Sick With The Flu...

Have I ever told anyone how much having the flu sucks! Well if not, it sucks! I hadn't felt right for days...I was suddenly achy, and tired...and I just couldn't shake it. Yesterday at work it got worse and worse and worse...I started feeling hot, and even more achy, and felt like I was going to yack.

Once I got home it was like my body just gave up on the fight and my temp spiked to 104, I was shaking, I was sick to my stomach, I was throwing up, My head was pounding, My whole body hurt...it even hurt to stand up and/or breath. It was awful!!

I had to call out of work today...well last night. My boss had already told any staff and parents if you get any part of the stomach virus to not come in because it's spreading like a wild fire at work, and one less person being at work spreading it will be better. And so, here I am...laying on the couch, watching bad day time t.v. with my lap top.

Bob has been pumping me with flu meds, liquids, soup, and jello. to bring me back to health. Although, I think the meds gave me the heart burn I got this afternoon...every time I laid down it started up worse, I ate some Rolaids and that helped a lot, my heart burn went away quick.

Although, I feel as if I've lucked out for once...I think I got the 24 hour version of this flu bug...because I am feeling a lot better this afternoon. Some people have been getting the 24 hour version of this and some people have been getting the 6 or 7 day version of this. I mean if you count my aches and weakness and tiredness into account with this flu then it's been about 5 days, I got the full effects of the flu last night and this morning.

and so like I said, I used 1 of my sick days today..and I have 2 more still I'm hoping I can save those 2 sick/personal days for may, for my girls NYC trip with Mel. I mean it's January and I've used my 1st sick day. I mean that's pretty good considering i went 4 1/2 months without getting really sick...well, until now.
