Flu

[pilgrimhudd]

No not man flu or a heavy cold but flu flu! It's going around, Anyone else been ill? I came down with it last Thursday and am only just coming through the other side. Horrendous! My wife and I were under blankets shivering with cold with the wood burner on with temps of 40c on Saturday, exhausted just walking up the stairs to bed .

I haven't had a beer in 2 weeks and my appetite has completely gone. The good news is I've lost over half a stone!

hope you're both able to have a recovery bevy in time for chrimbo.

shivering (if you're in a warm place) is a good sign of fighting the infection.

I've had a flu *** and don't really get infections, only the odd minor sniffle.

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Coming through it thanks @dad_of_jon ! Honestly have not been this unwell since I had the flu when I was 15, I was in bed then for 2 weeks!

I went to Belgium for 4 days but with only 2 days holidays had to phone in sick for the other 2. Said I had a chest infection. Guess what I got the day after I came back to work ? Yep chest infection coughing nose running ears blocked aching all over no appetite (do no harm ) and have to work through it to Friday cause I can’t say it’s back can I ?
I will be drinking on Friday regardless though and every day for 10 after that. It’s Christmas after all.

Mrs and eldest have had a rotten few weeks with it but are getting better now. Myself and youngest just had a bit of a snotty nose and seem to have dodged it.

My wife’s the same we were doing husband and wife things in the hotel as you do and she hasn’t even gotten a sniffle. She had covid a few weeks ago so I wonder did that give her some immunity from it ? We will never really know how it works or exactly what we have though but covid has made us all more conscious of it

Me and SHWBO had the flu *** for the first time this year and upto now have dodged a bullet

I just reread this, 'husband and wife things' !! Dunno what to say about this or the other point you've made.
