Swine flu Day 5 (for me)...I am still weak, sick and all that, but I am feeling a little better. I am over the fever and chills part of the flu, I think. I just have this awful cough. I can't sleep (it's been 48 hrs since I have slept) with the coughing, constantly. I lay down...cough. I sit up...cough some more. NOTHING helps! I am exhausted from just the coughing crap. The dry cough that begins this flu progresses into a deep in your chest, rattling, phlegm-wracking cough.
Get the vaccine for the H1N1 if you can...even though the flu is no worse than the regular, seasonal flu as far as symptoms go. The coughing alone is enough to make you wish for death. LOL!
Poor Hubby is sick, sick, sick. He's not as far along in his flu as I am. So, last night he was so cold his teeth were chattering, while buried under the covers, in bed. Me? I was sweating and hot due to my coughing. Hubs ended up going to vegetate on the couch at 3 AM in the morning. He turned the heater on downstairs and I had the fan blowing on me, in the bedroom. It's just all so ridiculous...
I have not knitted AT ALL in 5 days. I certainly have had plenty of time. I just can't with the whole cough thing. So, I watch TV or "try to sleep."
That is about it...I am ready for this to be over already.
Thank you St. Francis!
