Just wanted to post that for everyone who has had the flu this year, I, from the bottom of my heart, feel your pain. I must also apologize profusely for being smug for not getting a flu shot after finding out that it didn't work well this year (Smug in thinking "Ha! I never get sick anyways and at least I didn't introduce partially live flu virus into my system, especially since they picked the wrong flu virus to inoculate against"). So, once again, sorry for that.
Now, I'm not sure that I had the flu (I don't think I did) but I am recovering from two days of fever, cold sweats and joint achiness, the likes of which I haven't experienced for at least a couple of years. Most of my symptoms abated last night after my fever broke and I'm feeling much better now, but I am going to take the rest of the weekend easy and let my body get back to full speed.
And now the PSA mentioned above:
To those of you even now feeling the sickness, be it flu or something else, get lots of rest, plenty of fluids and my personal favorite for fever taming, ice cream and ice chips (separately, watery ice cream is not so good :) ) .
To those of you not sick, remember to be sympathetic to those who are, you never know when the sickness is going to catch up to you (although I hope it doesn't).
Have a great day and if you're experiencing the Sickness, I hope you feel better soon! If you need me, I'll be eating some more ice cream (can't let that fever come back, right! )
Ben
P.S. I know the thermometer is showing 97.3, but when I was running a fever I wasn't really up to taking photos of it, so let's pretend it says 102. :)
