SICK!

[lovespink88]

Bump!

It's apparently going to be a really bad flu season. Several Chicago hospitals have had to turn away patients from the ER since last night. I think I had the flu (if not then I guess a really bad cold? But I was confined to bed for 2 days soooo) that is going around. Got it right before Christmas. Now I have the stomach bug that also seems to be going around. So hopefully I'm done for the winter!

Thankful for Mr. LP, he got me tons of ginger ale and pepto this morning and is currently getting a heading pad for my aching body!

Anyone else get hit with anything?

I'm getting over the stomach bug. I still get nauseated whenever I eat or drink anything, but I'm at least keeping it down.

I am hand sanitizing and Lysoling the crap out of my desk, pen, coffee cup, and keyboard/mouse and refuse to touch any of those items without sanitizing after touching something communal (doorknobs, microwave handle, water cooler). I DO NOT WANT THIS CRAP

I totally forgot about this thread and should have been posting in it last week! But my cough is still alive and well so I guess I'm still in the right place.

I am really tired of the dry tickly cough. If I could just hock up a couple giant loogies I would feel a ton better.

^^^Thanks for bumping this thread NinjaPoodle...

I went to my doctor yesterday, and he said I have the flu...104 temp, and my head and body are hurting like something awful. It hit me in full this morning, I guess. I feel like I'm dying .

..But the drugs he has me on makes me feel like Charlie Sheen looks

You're not dying. I thought I was too.

So far I've topped out at 104. Right now I feel much better as I'm

• on day 4
• My temp dropped to 99.8.

Do what your Dr. tells you and drink plenty of fluids. And have someone check in on you, often.

Which Charlie Sheen? LOL!

Oh shoot me now. Not the flu, but so very very ill.

My boss apparently has the nasty norovirus that's floating around, and despite fully knowing he's contagious even after feeling better, he still wants to come in to work tomorrow! STAY AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEE

Then he's an ass. It is irresponsible to knowingly expose others when you know you are contagious.

Woohoo, I'm glad your temp dropped and that you're getting better.

Yep, I haven't eaten anything except soup, and I've been drinking a lot of orange juice.

Yep, I'm getting plenty of tlc and pampering . Maybe I need to get sick more often.

Hmm, well the first two pics at the top are the cute Charlie Sheens.

So, I would say I feel like the bottom two Charlie Sheens look.

My coworker told him that. It's even better given that it's a cube farm and within the 6 cubes surrounding him are 3 parents of little kids, 1 pregnant woman, and 1 parent of an autistic kid. It's completely irresponsible and he does it every single time he's sick

I've had random coughing attacks for about a month now. Usually every couple days. I don't understand.
