I have the flu :(

Brantley has had it the past couple of days, and now its obviously my turn... 101.6 temp, and rising. Hers got up to 103.2 while she was throwing up... This sucks beyond belief... So, if you wanna get the flu, just get arrested in Forsyth, because I HAVE to work through it.

 

^ you do know how bad thats gonna look if you actually get it, right?

 

Damn, I've been hearing about tons of people coming down with this. I really hope I can avoid it.

 

drink tons of water dude...I had it for almost 2 weeks and if i went a hour with out drinkin water my temp would go right back up!! It's not fun!!

 

^ thats good news... not When I take a shower, it goes down to 100, but immediately goes back up

 

dude, please get some rest. you need 2-3 times the water u usually need.

Be careful. flu + work + no rest = pneumonia

 

try to drink 3/4 of your total body weight in oz of water.....trust me momma's a nurse!!

 

yep! sisters a doc

 

Thanks guys, I'll see if I can keep it down.

 

wow that sucks, hope ya get better soon

 

Yep, the vaccine was a poor match this year. Two of the most common Flu strains this year aren't in the vaccine at all. Its the first time in 20 years (or so) the vaccine has been this poor a match for the seasonal flu...

 

never had it, don't want it. No speeding in Forsyth!

Oh yeah, get well.....lol

 

damnit, i had a headache all the way home. but i've just been telling myself it was brantley's cats. hopefully i won't get it. they flipped out when i missed two days with bronchitis because of you guys. haha, i'm loading up on vitamin C.

 

if you can't keep water down, chew on (or keep in you mouth) crushed ice. it will still hydrate you. smart water is a good idea too, if you can't keep food down then your blood sugar and salts can be low, smart water already has electrolytes so it absorbs more efficiently.

very sorry you're sick man, and while i'm not trying to be an asshole, it bothers the hell out of me when people must or feel they must go to work with the flu. it's a threat to the public health and is irresponsible to expose other people because of workplace policies or personal ignorance. that's how epidemics get started. several people at my office have it and "feel" they should be there out of a sense of duty.

i hope you get well soon

 

at least 1/2 my work is sick cause everyone keeps coming in while sick. it's a like a TB ward in there

 

yeah i got the flu from someone at work too...

 

So is the young lady feeling better?

 

lots of people at my college have been out, although today seemed to be better for them. Luckily I've avoided it.


drink gatorade(or equivilant) if other stuff is too hard. Dunno why but that seems to stay down easier in general.

 

i feel for ya...i had some kind of virus a couple weeks ago similar to the flu....it was horrible.

Hope ya feel better soon!

 

Its kinda hard to call in your first couple of days... The police department looks highly upon attendance as well.

Yeah, today is her first "up" day. She'll be back to work tomorrow though
I don't know what happened, because I was showing all the symptoms that she was, but today I woke up feel "ok". I just have a bad cough, and I'm waiting on a lung to come up one of these times...

 

sounds like i gave you my bronchitis. haha

 

What have you two been doing? ssh::gaysex:

Well I hope you too dont just pass it back and forth! :sx:

I took the vaccine and so far have missed the bug...(knocks on wood desk)

 

Keep knocking buddy cause they missed the 2 most common strands in the vaccine this year

 

I hope that you feel better Greg. I had the flu and bronchitis and that was 2 months ago and I am still coughing. I even got the flu shot back in Oct. but as several people have told me, it doesn't seem too effective..

I have this crap too. First the idiot lady at work came in with it and she passed it down to the others. Now my whole department got it. I missed 2 days of work and had this pounding headache and chest cold/flu. Now I'm so freaking weak that I feel like pure crap. Trying to drink a lot of water and gatorade but it's hard.

 

ha, i think i must have been immune to whatever you and brantley had greg. but i must have been a carrier because like 4 days after i got back down here a guy in my department strangely got the flu and was out for 2 days. I was still coughing and hacking with my leftovers from bronchitis, so its very possible i gave your crap to him

 

haha awesome. We're still getting over it... it turned from the flu, to a sinus infection which sucks just as bad. Everyone that comes in the jail is sick anyways, so I'll probably get it again anyways...
