    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. :(

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

    Be careful. flu + work + no rest = pneumonia

    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...

    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 ;)

    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.

    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...

    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... :(
