On Being Home Sick
Brophyswiftus got sick last week. He started feeling pretty cruddy on Saturday night and then proceeded to get worse as the weekend progressed. I went into work on Monday knowing that I would probably get sick too. I did. He went to the doctor on Wednesday and they said he had the flu and was very contagious (good thing I made him stay home) yay for me. I'm next . . . Tuesday - feeling a bit cruddy - when I felt my lymph nodes (or whatever they are) under my chin - they were tender. Wednesday, I'm feeling a little more cruddy and I decide I'm going to go do my yoga class and sweat myself. Afterall, a fever is your body trying to get hot enough to kill the virus right? So, if I can get myself hot enough, maybe I can start the burning process a little sooner. Sure enough, I worked hard and worked up a big sweat. I went down to saunas in the club and alternated dry sauna with a wet sauna and finished it up with a nice hot shower. The wet sauna also had a nice eucalyptus smell in the air so that was nice too. Thursday - I'm feeling cruddier, but I make it through the day (barely). I told everyone that I would probably not be into work on Friday and went home and went to bed. Friday, sick. Stayed in bed. Saturday, feeling better. I cautiously started puttering around in the kitchen. Sunday - Feeling even better. Went out to the grocery store. Puttering in kitchen was fun. Need more stuff to putter with.
I'm not 100% and Brophyswiftus is probably 60%. I think the worst of his problems is that his allergies is complicating the other stuff happening.
Sigh.
Irony has it - he got the flu shot - I didn't. He got the flu, I got a cold. It appears that the flu shot didn't cover this strain of the flu.
