That swine that flu away...


I have been down with a terrible flu for the past 2 weeks. Dragged myself out of bed daily, joints aching, runny and burning nose, rough sandpaper throat, hoarse voice and a cough that threatened to break my ribs. During the day I felt as fresh as juice and at night as stale as milk gone off. Eventually I dragged myself to the doctor and doctor’s orders were clear, stay in bed for a couple of days to recuperate. I even had a mouth swab test for swine flu, but the labs are inundated with so many tests. While I positively wait for my results, I have managed to kick the swine and he eventually flu away, as I return to normality and show must go on. When and how do we know when to press the panic button???


I am grateful for my health more than the weight lost, that will be recovered soon... Hint hint... It's actually more tiring staying in doors. Now I know the meaning of as sick as a dog. Not sure why we use the poor dog though. Oh well, in great spirits now and running around buying gifts to 4 weddings. It's crazy shopping but am enjoying it.
