    Sick

    So, dunno about your area but we have the plague tearing through PA like, well, a plague.

    My wife brought it back from Ohio the week before last and infects us all, its horrible.

    So I rest up and begin new job still feeling crappy but capable Monday. Run into some folks yesterday who are sick too. Think nothing of it.

    Wake up middle of night 100% sick again. WTH?

    Did I get two different flu bugs?

    If I hadn't just started I swear I'd have called out the whole frikkin week.

    When you say "plague", I'm not sure what you mean. Are we talking Bubonic Plague or what? The Texas Panhandle and the Southwest get a few cases a year, but we certainly don't experience an epidemic.

    Just the flu. Hacking cough, lungs filled with fluid, sore throat, loss of voice, zero energy, sweating, stuffed and running nose. Super gross and unpleasant.

    OK, that I can relate to. About 10 years or so ago, both my wife and I had a case of the flu that lasted like 2 months. No embellishment here. When I was finally over it, I coughed up stuff and blew things out of my nose that still give me nightmares. On the other hand, we haven't taken flu shots since then, and have never had the flu again. My personal belief, unsubstantiated by any scientific evidence or theory, is that whatever we had was so nasty that our immune systems can now kick the crap out of any strain of influenza.
