I have the 'flu.... cheer me up!

[XemaSab]

So I came down with hardcore influenza on Monday night. Thursday I felt better, but still a bit sick. I still feel sick today (Saturday).

In one week I am supposed to be on a plane to Florida to go on vacation.

Tell me I will be my normal, perky self on Saturday and that it's the normal course of the flu for it to last up to a week.

Please? :)

1. make sure you get lots of rest and FLUIDS....

You should be fine in a week, maybe a bit worn out still, but be careful of secondary infections, especially upper respiratory infections-- they can hang on for a long time.

7. I'll go to the store and get some fruit and juice

:D

And I think pho for lunch is called for. :D

6. I 'll add one recommendation to the 'get a lot of sleep/rest' advice

First take a steamy shower, breathe the steamy air deeply, stay warm, get in bed with a book or magazine, or listen to the radio, and fall asleep for several hours. It does wonders to help you recuperate.
I'm betting you'll feel all better by vacation time! :hug: :thumbsup:
Here's my favorite hummingbird photo to cheer you up, since I saw in your profile that you like birds.

12. Last night I slept from 4 pm til' 8 am

So the sleep is good.

Thanks for the hummingbird photo. They are migrating through here right now.

[XemaSab]

16. Hey Mrs.

You have any drugs to make this happen? :shrug:

How was your day yesterday? :evilgrin:

[Kajsa]

15. I hope you feel better, soon!

Hi XemaSab!
Please don't make the mistake I've made.
( don't do as I do----)

When you start to feel better
PACE YOURSELF.
Don't start tackling all the week's work in
an effort to catch up.

That lands me right back in bed, every time.

Don't forget to get some Airborne Tablets.
They really help you get over the flu.

You should be fine for your trip next week.

I hope you have a great vacation.

:hi:

[XemaSab]

17. Thanks!

Yeah, I am worried I already may have made that mistake.... tried to go to work thursday and friday.... both days had to knock off early. :P

But I will spend the weekend resting.... after I go to my friend's party this afternoon. :P

(I promise I will only spend an hour or so there, I won't drink a thing, and I will make an early night of it! :o )

[Kajsa]

19. Well- OK.

Only if you take care of yourself!

;-)

:pals:

18. The good news is you'll poop so much

your pants will fit better by the time you feel better. Disclaimer: This method of weight loss is not endorsed by the American Dietary Association, the Center for Disease Control or Scooby Doo. Please seek out a weight loss professional.

22. It's not that kind of flu

It's the kind where you lay around in bed with no appetite but you make yourself eat so you will have *some* strength.

[EstimatedProphet]

20. Birds will cheer you up. Look at the thread I just posted!

[Pushed To The Left]

21. Feel better soon, XemaSab!

:hug: I'm sure you'll be better by next weekend. Just make sure to continue getting lots of rest. I had the stomach flu a few months ago, and I don't think I've ever slept that much at one time!

[XemaSab]

23. Thanks!

It's not stomach flu; it's influenza.
