I got hit hard by the flu this week, too.
I have had flu before but never with all the "bells and whistles". DH came home from work yesterday seriously thinking I was in a coma because I was not responding to him. So he lifts me to a sitting position and he learned I was alive when I bolted for the bathroom LOL.
As long as I was horizontal I was ok. Sort of.
I even told him last night as he was sitting there taking my pulse for the 500th time to be sure to give all my fabric to my neighbor who taught me how to quilt.
A while ago, I had a cold-related headache so bad for so long all day that I was thinking of telling my husband to donate my cello to a high school student when I go.
That bug must be going around like crazy this year! We were all sick with it last week. I guess I haven't had the flu in a LONG LONG time because at one point I thought I was dying (woke dh up and told him to keep an eye on me). LOL! Horrid chills, dizzy, muscle aches. Poor dh had the "poop drops" <ds's word> and the vomiting. Ditto on the kids. We were a mess. Most of the people I know have had it in the last few weeks.
Nobody breathe on me please...
I feel so bad for all of you who've had the displeasure of this...Nothing beats sitting on the hopper with your face in a bucket...
