Got the Flu

I woke up last night at 1:30. I had the chills so bad that I was rubbing my torso as hard as I could to get warm. So where is the aspirin? After digging thorugh piles of likely candidates I came upon some equate. Then every two hours for the rest of the morning and into the afternoon I was equating... Sue said that I should no into the urgent care and see about it. Luckily there is one nearby. The wait was really short (about 24 minutes). The Armeanin confirmed that I had the flu. It brought back memories of the Mellenium night that Linzi drove me into the emergency. They gave me a new pill and the effects of the flu were minimal after a a day or two. So I have on order the magic pill (take one for each of 5 days). Temperature was 102. She said that adults don't do well with any temperature difference. So I am taking Motrin, drinking lots of liquids and I should be better soon.

Love Pat
