Well…when I woke up this morning I knew there would be one of these that I had to write….since I felt pretty good and energetic since then I think it is time to declare the flu chronicles at their end. It has been one of the easiest flus that I can remember with it only being 6 days from start to finish and there really only being two days of debilitating sickness…of course, there were the relapses that I expected as the time went on but they never reached the level of sickness that I expected…I think some it the chills were a part of the fact that it has been damn cold outside all week and it is only 8 degrees right now as I write this at 4 pm on Wednesday.  So, I am glad to say goodbye to the flu and the chronicles…hope it is the last one for the year….

Well…this has been one of the weirdest flu that I can remember….sicker than a dog Friday and Sat with all of the symptoms that you normally get..but today, when I got up this morning, I felt okay…the pain was gone mostly and the energy levels are almost back to normal…still have a fever but it has been manageable today. I am still waiting for phase two, though, where I think I’m feeling better and then it all goes to crap for a couple more days…so, we’ll see what happens…if this is over it will be the easiest flu I have ever had but I still have the bad one to look forward to sometime this winter….okay, the Lions are playing so I need to get back there…

Well…you can tell that I am searching for topics when I have to start a new series about getting the flu….but, it’s been a couple of years since I had it so I thought it’s as good an idea as any….this is a weird one….I don’t feel that bad but I have absolutely no energy…oh, that along with the pain everywhere that I am reluctant to treat since I need to keep my temp up to try to burn this out as fast as possible….it was hard going to bed last night…as soon as I hit the bed the coolness of the sheets sent me into an uncontrollable bout of the shivers that took almost 5 minutes to get over…and then it was all sweat, all the time all night so bad that I woke up soaked this morning…and have been changing shirts all day so that is not a good thing…the weird thing is that I don’t feel that bad today…but my travels have been limited to the bed to the couch, the couch to the kitchen, and the computer to the couch…any more than that and I’m not sure how that would go….not going to try more any time soon….I do need to take something for the head, though….this is getting annoying…..
