Germs, Germs & Germs
I am a germ freak and am always washing my hands. I don’t touch the escalator rails, nor the grocery cart until I wipe it down. Obviously I touched something from someone with germs. I have no idea where I got it or who I got it from but I am sick.
I haven’t been this sick in I don’t know how long. Thursday night I started sneezing and wheezing and that was it. Got up Friday with a fever and my head pounding with pressure and I felt totally out of it. It resulted in calling my doctor to call in a prescription so I don’t end up with pneumonia. Which is how I feel. My sinus pressure is slowing moving its way down to my chest. My nose is raw and red from blowing it every 3 minutes, I look and feel like hell and I slept the weekend away.
I ended up at the hospital yesterday thinking it was pneumonia. They said I had a really bad flu virus and were about to send me home until they took my blood pressure one more time. It was still high so they decided to put me on an IV and do more testing. Everything came back good so they thought maybe I was a bit dehydrated. Sent me home with prescriptions and told to get plenty of rest and fluids. Which I thought I had been doing all weekend.
This flu virus going around seems to be a bad one. Wash your hands, spray Lysol and wash your hands. I just hope Mark doesn’t get it after picking up all my kleenex and nursing me all weekend.

I am a Huge germaphobe! My kids tell me that it crosses over to OCD..yeah I am about as bad as howie mandel!
So sorry to hear that bug caught up with you. I hear it is a very bad one this year. Hopefully you are on the mend now. Take your docs advice.. lots of liquids, chicken soup and rest.

Get better quick - my best friend is an RN and she warned me that the flu was bad this year - so I’ve been real careful - fortunately we’ve skipped it so far!

My wife works in a doctors office and she warned me that the virus was bad this year as well. Take care of yourself Jody and feel better soon.

Thanks everyone. I am feeling a bit better this afternoon. I have heard so many who have it have had it for a while.

I’m so sorry you weren’t feeling well. Here’s hoping you get better quickly. The one thing to do is rest as much as possible. That flu virus is a killer. It has been making the rounds here.

It’s been a few days, so I hope you’re continuing to feel better.
I keep hearing about how bad this flu season is. On the news recently they were saying that the flu virus has mutated quite a bit this year, and this year’s batch of flu vaccine is not as effective as in previous years.
