OT: Flu Shot/Schmoo Shot

Oh dear Kathy! It never rains but what it pours. I hope you will soon be feeling better. Love Shirley

Kathy -- I hope they can stabilize you enough to feel better, sweet thing. For most of us, the flu and a sinus infection combination ALONE would be one of the worse things ever -- at least for me. Much less with all you reguarly deal with. So, take it easy and rest well. We love you.

Yeah, We all seem to be having it too. I wasn't very uncomfortable, but just exhausted beyond reason. All we can do is just get through it. Take care.

Awwwwwwwww, Kathy! I'm sorry. We have it here too. DD and I have been in bed all day yesterday, and today looks about the same. Hubby brought me his laptop, so I could look at stuff when I'm not snoozing. DD's temps have been above 103, but at least they come down easily with motrin. Thank goodness hubby's off to take care of us!

Oh shit honey, I'm sorry! I was hoping you could escape the flu this year. You need that like you need another hole in the head.

Recovering slowly. I'm still sleeping a lot, and I think I'm practicing for my next life as a cat. One Godsend has been the anti-viral -- amazingly, it's kept me from getting pneumonia, and that was what had me very worried. I'm still weak (as is evidenced by the fact that I am not champing at the bit to go out of the house), but it could be much, much worse.

One thing I can't do right now is bead; the hands are still too unsteady, and my eyes aren't cooperating. But that's okay: I have plenty of books and have been imagining all sorts of lovely things to make when I'm up to it.

Thanks for asking, it's nice to know that I'm being remembered.

IMHO flu shots are a waste of money. The flu strain is different each year and the vaccination is for the previous years strain. My mum used to have them and wondered why she still got the flu. I said to her the doc was lining her pockets...

Any rate glad you staved off the P...

Thank you, I'm much better now. Not quite up to my usual, but a whole lot better than I was on Christmas.

I've had the flu shot every year for at least twenty years, and this is the first time I've ever had the real flu. I still get your basic viruses that everyone calls "flu," but I've never had influenza before. I've never had to pay for a flu shot - it's free in Massachusetts.

I'm shocked that there is such a difference from what I've called the flu and the real thing - mostly in how quickly it came on. I was opening presents with the family and an hour later, I was burning up, had a blinding headache and was coughing like I had pneumonia. (I've have pneumonia more times than I can count, so I do know what that feels like)

Usually, when I get a cold or the like, there's a couple of days of feeling "off" and then you get sick. This was totally different.

Me, too.

I'm only on (self-imposed) quarantine for another day. The doc said I was very contagious for the first five days, and mildly contagious for another two after that. I don't want to give this to anyone, so I've been inside since Christmas eve. Tomorrow, I'll have Bob take me for a ride to see the ice sculptures that our town sets out for First Night.

Kathy N-V

Yes, I know what you say.. One feels like one has been hit on the head with a rather large hammer, bones ache etc etc.... I have to say Mum does only seem to get the common cold.. Not the same thing by a wide margin.

Hope you had a nice time. Sounds lovely. Summer here... & I live at the beach. Doesn't snow here at all.. That's 3 hrs drive away...

I'm busy working 13 hr days while the tourists are around, so that's why you don't see me for a while. This is my 3rd day off since Xmas Day. I have staff working today. 8-))

Mavis

Ummmm... who?

I'm relatively new here, so I don't think so. Just recently introduced to beading by a friend. Live in good ol' NZ. Must have me confused with another....

Mavis

No -- she would post from her own site, mavissmith.com
