Healing and the Flu!

Hey, gals.

I'm so happy to be rid of all the wretched pain I was in for so many years. Except, ya know, having the flu really bites!! Especially during my hyst. recovery! Oh, well - at least I don't have to contend with abdominal pain and hellacious painkillers, too. And I got my shot, too! It didn't protect against end-o, though.

xoxoxoxoxo -

Yes, having the flu sure is rotten! Over a month before surgery, as a precaution, I had both a flu shot and a pneumonia shot. Unfortunately, the flu shot only covers a few types of flu.

On Feb 1st, I went to New Orleans on vacation. I must have picked up something in the airport, because, the following night after I arrived, I had the worst flu (vomiting and diarrhea) that I've ever had. Because of the recent surgery, I was incontinent while I was vomiting. So, I had to sit on the toilet and puke into the wastebasket. (Sorry if TMI.) It lasted all night long, with fever and hot flashes. I slept the whole next day and night, and was queasy for the rest of the trip. No one else got sick, so it's possible that it was food poisoning.

Am so glad to be over that. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!

Hey there...

Sorry to hear you are ill! I am hoping it passes for you soon.

I have been fighting a kick-***** bout of bronchitis for the past week. A cough that curls your toenails!!! I am back to wearing maxi pads because in my coughing fits, I dribble!!!!! Talk about depressing. I am on antibiotics and this morning I woke up with a wicked sore throat and stuffed up head. Like every other year, I had the flu shot this year too. Never have I been sick like this before.

My recovery was uneventful and relatively easy until now.

Well, just have to suck it up....drink fluids, rest, cry a little, cough a lot and keep my trip to Mexico at the end of March in my thoughts!

Hoping all sisters are recovering well and avoiding the dreaded bugs!

Hugs,
Sarah

Yep... I've got the 'flu too. I picked it up in Paris last weekend. Went for a romantic weekend with DH. We had a wonderful time 'cept it was SOOO cold. I think I picked it up in those smoke laden Parisian cafes or on the Eurostar train from/to London!! We stayed in Monmartre just up the road from Amelie's cafe, you know the Audrey Tatou film?

I feel rotten!!!!!!! And I can identify with a bladder which doesn't react well to my sneezing!!!!

the flu season is just now hitting hard where I live. I did not get the flu shot. My daughters both did, they are 2 and 6 yrs old. Well this weekend they were both got the flu, they are miserable and I am now feeling quite bad.

Not what I needed but what can you do, they need me to take care of them. Just hoping it doesn't get me down much more than I already am.
