flu....h1n1 or otherwise

good news....i dont think i'll need to get a flu shot this year.

bad news...i've been flat on my back since tuesday morning.  my day consists of forcing myself to drink something, hobbling to the restroom and sleeping for 6 hours....repeat....

this morning, i took a shower.  woohoo! and then slept for 4 hours.  wow.  but i did manage to get out of bed for something other than a potty break so i'm making progress.

my sister-in-laws say the fever lasts about 5 days and then it takes about a month to start feeling normal again.  so long?  did anyone inform this virus that it's holiday season and folks don't really have a month to feel icky?  i think flu season should be in august, when all you want to do is hide in the air-conditioned house anyway.

  4. Oh NO! Love that you won't have to get a flu shot...they seem to be overrated anyway. Hope you are feeling better. I had some crap and it lasted a little under two weeks before I was back so hopefully you have flu-lite.
