Well I got the flu big time and it's going on 8 day's and I still feel bad. My D/H wanted to take me to the ER the second night because I was crying I was so sick. But I told him no let it run it's course. I was having chest pain which I was sure they were from congestion. Isn't know no fun when you are tied to a trash can.Ha-Ha. My nose is still sore. Went through 1 roll of paper towels and am on my 5th box of Kleenex. Call my son the doc. He said it was the flu with out having to see me. He said I could have gone and gotten some Tamaflu medicine but you have to get it within 24 hours of it hitting you and he said the shots are way over rated and wouldn't advise no one to take them because of lack of it being tested enough. He agreed that the congestion was causing the chest pain. He told me if he were here treating me that all he would do is IV pack me because I have lost 17 lbs and to keep me from hydrating. Just let it run it's course. So here I sit and wait and wait......
Other then that glad it's warmed up all over. The earth quake was devastating to say the least. We have meeting halls all over the world including there. There was a meeting that day at the hall and most of the brothers and sisters were there when it hit. All those who were at the meeting lived. So far 177 have died and still are missing another 77. A lot of military people that I know, my son included said once again the government of the U.S. was totally lack in getting help there. But they are there now helping. Thank God for the search and rescue teams who have been pulling out the ones still a live. If we can't send money etc. we sure can pray a lot which we have been during... Hope no one lost some one close to them......ellie-mite

I had a horrible flu or head cold and it lasted about a week. I finally took some Benadryl allergy and sinus headache and felt so much better.

I got my regular flu shot late last fall and had been trying to get the H1N1 for a long time...finally last Saturday we got them. I look at it this way. If you can take the flu then don't get it. But even if it lessens it by half it would be worth it.
Guess we will have to wait and see if more die with the shot than the ones that didn't get it...that is the only way to tell but after we were able to get free ones tons of people were in line to get them.
I haven't had the flu since I was maybe 12 years old. The whooping cough was a lot worse....lol
Feel better soon.....

Retired and lovin'it.
