Flu Bug

I have been out of action for most of this last week with the flu. I got bit bad, by the flu bug that is! I felt like I was coming down with something on Monday, but assumed it was just a cold. Boy was I wrong. Tuesday morning I woke up and just knew it wasn't going to be a good day. I babysat all day thanks to a dose of Tylenol. But I started getting the chills around 9:30 in the morning. I was freezing and the thermostat in the house said 75. I made it barely through the day and then just collapsed. Had a fever for 4 days and finally this morning I woke up and I was back to normal. Three days in bed is not much fun, especially when you just don't feel good. I would like to say that I was able to plan and organize the next few weeks or something productive like that. The most I was able to do was to read a little. It's so lonely having the flu, because you don't want to give it to anyone else. So you have to lock yourself away, only have visitors when you need them to get you something. My hubby and ds were wonderful and very worried about me. So far neither of them show any signs of the flu. I was really miserable so I really hope that there is no more flu in our house for a long, long, time! So make sure you wash your hands very frequently, stay away from sick people or crowds so you don't get the flu. Apparently the area hospitals just this last week saw a huge spike in flu cases, so it's spreading like wild fire here in the St. Louis area.

My hubby stayed home as much as he could to help me out and to keep H company. My poor little boy wanted me to come down and play with him and I just couldn't. Luckily on Thurday night it snowed big time so he had something to keep him busy on Friday.

So now that I am back hopefully I can get back to writing on here.
