Any updates?

Had to take the wife to the ER last night with severe flu symptoms.

We're both just getting over the chest infection / cough stuff.

Brutal.

1/8 - Stay home from work to get into doctor's office; get prescription for cough syrup with codeine filled; get progressively worse as the night goes on

1/9 - Have mom go get another script for an antibiotic filled; spend the day in and out of consciousness feeling lousy

1/10 - Wake up with fever of 101.5; spend morning breaking fever; get fever back at 5pm; finally break fever at 2am following morning

1/11 - Spend the morning laundry done, washing sheets, blankets, etc; spray basement down with Lysol; spend evening with headache and watching movies

1/12 - Get out for the first time since 1/8 to go to grocery store; get worn out from running errand and spend afternoon and evening watching football, movies, and Firefly episodes

1/13 - Spend day actually eating again, watching football, movies, and more tv shows; go to sleep laying down in my bed for the first time since the night of 1/7

1/14 - Still have the cough, and still have the worn out feeling, but return to work.

Talk about a lousy week! Hope it's gone for good this time.

just got over chest infection and the flu..

never had a flu shot and until this year never had the flu..

i can only agree now that it is the worse thing ever!

no, I won't get a flu shot next year...

I'm avoiding the public until this shit is under control.

Thanks for the updates, The wife is returning from halfway around the world tonight. Should have already been here if not for a big **** YOU to United Airlines. She is feeling much better after traveling for going on 51 hours now. She has had maybe 6 hours sleep total in the time period so I guess we won't be playing tonight.

I've gotten the flu every year up until last year. Been sick twice this year. I'm getting it again next year.

Why?

Because I felt like shit. Doctor gave me a script to have just in case. She said if I wasn't better in a couple of days to go ahead and get it filled. I got it filled a day early.

Or are you asking why I sent my mom? That would be because I was hardly able to walk upstairs, let alone make it to a pharmacy.

No clowning around tonite?

I wouldn't dare put the misses through that after her last 50+ hours. I will have to watch the KU game alone I guess, there are worse fates to suffer. ;)

No, I was asking about the doctor. I wouldn't think there's anything a doctor could do. They'll just tell you to rest and they'll give you a script for antibiotics (for a virus) to make you feel like it was worth a trip.

She gave me a cough syrup with codeine for the trip. She heard me cough, and thought there was a slight chance it might not be viral, hence the antibiotics. I wasn't going to worry about them until I started feeling worse. She also prescribed an inhaler, but insurance didn't cover much of the cost, so I never got it.

Do you by chance have Asthma?

Nope.
