Swine Flu

It was Equine Flu two years ago. Seems mean to call it Swine Flu when I've got it. H1N1. Poor A had it first over the weekend and he looked bad. Then on Monday O and me got the first taste of what could have been a chest cold, with that metallic infection taste like it's building into bronchitis. By the late afternoon we started getting the chills and headaches. Felt pretty bad. Off to the doctor on Tue morning. Panadol and Sudafed, strong cough mixture, throat lozenges and plenty of rest. The rest of the week off work. Tuesday evening fever intensifies with all the aches and pains. If you dont move it doesnt hurt. Hard to read when your eyes are constantly watering. Listless channel surf. Worst sleep ever that night, headaches too bad. Felt truly horrible on Wednesday. Wondering if it could possibly get worse - if it does I'd be calling an ambulance. Thankfully that night fever broke - sweat everywhere - and I slept like a baby without waking for two four hour stretches. Probably nap through the rest of Thursday. to be continued ...
