Okay so I have been home from school for the past 3 days and probably am not going tomorrow either. I have the FLU!!! Yes, the flu!!!! I havent had the flu since I was like in elementary school. I have only had the flu one time this time being my second time in my whole life. The school I work for offers the flu shot for $15 back in Jan. but I thought "not me I wont get the flu," or "I'm not going to spend $15 on a shot that may or may not work," or my favorite was " it's going to hurt and I don't want to pay money for something to hurt!" I also kep telling myself that I have only had it once in my life, I'm sure I will be fine without it. I was wrong, you hear that everyone I WAS WRONG!! I will for sure get that shot next year. I have been to the doctor twice withine the past 3 days and have spend a grand total of about $75-$80 on office visits and medicine. They originally diagnosed me as having bronchitis but then I have had fever ever since Sunday, so I had to call them back about another issue and while I was on the phone with them they said "No you aren't to run fever with bronchitis come back in so we can check you for the flu." So, in the pouring ran shivering to death I went back and tested poisitive for the flu. He actually gave me a mask to wear and said I needed to wear it everywhere i went so I won't get anyone else sick. Do you know how impossible it is to wear a mask that you can't really breathe out of and it almost makes you sweat to breathe in and out of it. Okay I am felling like I have to lay down. Hope everyone else stays well and doesn't have to wear a mask!:)

We got the flu a few years ago that just about killed us - we were both sick at the same time and didn't leave the bed for 4 days - just slept & slept & slept. We weren't sure if we were afraid we were going to die or were afraid we weren't. Anyway - you can be sure we hotfoot it to get our flu shot every year now. It doesn't ever bother me but both Harv and Becky had a very slight reaction - sore arm and felt a little achey the next day. It is worth it! Hope you get better soon.
Yes...hope you feel better soon! I am taking Anna (or Mrs. Susan is taking her) to get her second flu test done. The first one came back negative but they think it may have been too early to detect. She has been running fever now for a week and the medicine is not helping at all. Anyway...I know how you feel, hope you get better soon!
