WH, I'd say you should be almost through it!

Usually lasts about 5-8 days if you're resting and doing what the doc says!

I think the most important thing is to drink lots of water, "stay hydrated"!

Man, I feel for you, the last time I had the flu, was probably about 10 years ago, I didn't get the flu shot and therefore I got the flu!

Hope you're feeling better soon!

PatD has been down for 3 days and I got into trouble for sawing yesterday.

I am not a good nurse, cook, housekeeper, or much else it seems. :-\

Sorry to hear PatD is on the sick list.
MM, I know exactly where you are coming from. Been there, done that, still doing that. Playing nurse to a sick spouse ain't for sissies..At least my mill and logs are in my back yard, so I can sneak out and saw a bit ;D

I was sick with the flu a couple weeks ago where evrything ached even my skin hurt.Headache and sore throat.
Had to fight the urge to lay down at the shop and to try not to be crabby to the customers.Sunday was a relief to be able to sleep most of the day.
The upside is the energy you get when the bug is gone. 8)

Piney,you're a good man.

Granny Moses (Jed's mother-in-law) had a sure-fire cure for the common cold and it'll also work for the flu; eat lots of chicken soup and in 10 days or so, you'll be well................ 8)

Magic I'm sorry to hear this too, my wife is a nurse and she makes a TERRIBLE patient when she's not feeling good (she admits it also), I lack in skills in all above stated, I feel your pain.
Woodhauler I hope you're on the down hill side and get to feeling better soon, it's miserable feeling miserable.

Sorry to hear about this from all you guys! Really, sick is sick and it stinks, but I have to comment, no names mentioned, there are a few of you boys that I am quite sure can whip up some good eat'n, in fact real sure it would be top shelf, I might suggest open the back door, open the kitchen window and let the wind blow in, just to bring back some memories of camp. You might even have to break out some of the primo cuts you have stashed away just for this occasion. I hope your better halves get back to speed soon, and I have to say chicken soup coupled with some grits would be a good thing, david

Woodhauler,that is not a good thing to have.

Paul_H · December 15, 2012, 06:14:47 PM

Woodhauler · December 16, 2012, 04:41:14 PM

Karen is feeling like she got hit by a truck too, absolutely no energy. Rest and lots of fluid seems the only cure, just have to ride it out. It has missed me for the moment.
