Flu Monster...


Goodness people!  Have we been sick!  Two and a half weeks...almost three weeks of coughing, runny noses, weak...pathetic!  It just hung on like nothing we've ever seen.  I haven't been sick like this, EVER!  Weird illness...Didn't act like the "normal" flu at all.  One symptom would appear like scratchy throat, then go away.  The next symptom...stuffy head, nose and chest...came, went then came back.  Crazy miserable!  I missed a few days of work but eventually had to come back to catch up in the office and do payroll.  Crystal (daughter also works here) was also sick.  I could still hang around the house and would if I could!  So beware the scratchy throat!  That is where it all starts and antibiotics are worthless.
SO!  I'll let you get back to your days work or play...Will be around shortly for visits.  I just haven't felt like even looking at computers lately...sorry!
I need a coffee!

Bless your hearts...Mr. Sweet had it, too, and it finally took a trip to the doctor, shot, heavy duty meds, breathing treatments..and lasted over 2 solid weeks. Just horrible. He felt so so bad. I didn't get it because I refused...:)

Ugh. Nothing worse than lingering illness! Get better soon. On a weird note, this photo of a germ is sort of pretty. LOL

Oh dear. I'm so sorry. We have been so fortunate this year. I pray we get through to the spring with no flu episodes. Please baby yourself until the siege is well over! Love and get-well-wishes to you all. xoxo

I was sick all through Christmas and New Years. Strangest thing really. I had muscle aches and sore throat sometimes, congestion and coughing sometimes but no fever. Then on New Years Day I lost my voice completely for three days! I thought it was a bad cold at first and then I didn't know what it was! Glad you all are feeling better!

Gosh I hope you start to feel better real soon.

Oh, darn it. I sure hope it goes away soon and you are feeling better. :(

Sorry about that. I had a scratchy throat on Thursday and cancelled an appointment because of it. but it went away. Basically, we have all been healthy this winter despite my daughter working in a seniors residence where the flu just keeps on going round and round.

Gosh, I hope you are feeling better now! (((Hugs))).

So sorry you have been sick! Hope you all get much better soon. I take Cold-Ease for the zinc and Airborne when I think something is trying to happen to me. Plus I gargle with salt water, and if needed use saline nose spray. I also drink hot lemonade. I haven't had a full-blown cold or flu in at least a couple of years! And I of course don't get the flu shots. Just hope you feel better soon. That's a "pretty" germ slide picture- thingy. :-)
