Influenza

Both of us gone down with the Flu.  Hubby has 'man' flu, but at the moment I agree he is far worst than me - but he is 4 days ahead of me..........He is supposed to have gone away on a work trip in the morning, but no way is he going to make that.  He does look and sound really poorly - the chicken soup is just not working!!
Both of us went to bed around 6 pm last night, even after lounging around all day.  I did take the dog for a quick walk, but I reckon I looked about 80 the way I was slowly ambling along the road.  I'm afraid no walkies today.  Just had a really hot bath, but still got goose-bumps - I guess a temperature.  So off back to bed and I don't even have any reading material left - oh well, paracetemol and try to sleep (3 pm).  Hopefully by the end of the week, or sooner, fingers crossed, start to feel normal again.

  1. Neither of us has had so much as a sniff in the last 4 years nearly (now that's the kiss of death!). I always take hot milk with 2 teaspoons of honey when i'm poorly, ive always found it a comfort drink. My OT eats raw onion sandwiches (arrhhhhh!).

  2. Get well soon Chrissy and hubby. I swear by a hot water with cut up fresh ginger and cut fresh lime in it. Girl from work told me about it and now it is my favourite drink.

  3. Hope you both feel better soon. I snuggle up under a duvet and watch films when I'm ill. Drinking lots of tea should help too. x

  5. I have had it for 10 days Chrissy. My Mum always said colds are 3 days, coming, 3 days at their worst and 3 days going. Not this one ! A work colleague had it for 3 weeks. The Pharmacist in Boots gave me Benylin Chesty Cough medicine which has helped me sleep after coughing every night. We need the cold weather forecast to kill off these nasty bugs. Take care.
