I have the flu.
What kind of flu is not clear, although here as elsewhere, everyone is assuming that if you have the flu it is most likely H1N1. I think early on we quipped that when you see "H1N1" it looks like "Hiney," and we have referred to it as Hiney Flu ever since.
Well, I have to tell you: Hiney Flu sucks ass.
I started with this on Sunday very early -- probably 2 or 3 AM, and I've been laid out ever since.
Master and T have been taking care of me. It isn't the way it should be. I'm supposed to be taking care of -- not being taken care of. But I am doing good to stagger to and from the bathroom or struggle out to the refrigerator for another glass of orange juice.
He's been making sure the humidifier is on at night, making sure I take my medicine. Making sure that I eat SOMETHING. T has run to the store over and over -- to get me Coke and NyQuill and to bring soup home for dinner. I am so lucky.

I giggled a little at hiney...
ReplyDeleteI've been calling pig flu. Whatever you call it, I hope you don't have it and you're feeling better.

ReplyDeleteAre you feeling any better?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear you're ill - and I do hope you are fast on the road to recovery.
ReplyDeleteAnd the hiney DOES respond to tamaflu, so perhaps that is a possibility to help you through this.
I just received my "regular" flu shot today from the School Board (all employees are offered the shot for free each year.) And my arm hurts, but I'll refrain from whining since you have the actual flu, lol.
Next week we get our doses of the hiney vaccine in the mist form that goes up the nose. We're just trying to keep the pigs at bay. ;)
