Stealth Flu :{
Like a week or so ago, I was thinking to myself, this whole hoo-hah about the piggy sniffles was just ridic -- because I was feeling better, and thought I was well on my way to full recovery.
Then I had a "relapse." Ugh. I've been Stealthed!!
Turns out, this is one characteristic of H1N1 -- feeling better, followed by a "relapse."
I've also been informed that it is possible to transmit H1N1 to critters -- cats and dogs -- unlike most forms of the flu, although "retransmission" from human--animal--back to humans doesn't seem to be happening. Made me worry for Eddie, but he seems to be fine.
Hel, however, is now sick. :{
I saw the doc last week, and she assures me I'm not still contagious, so Xmas Dinner is going on as planned. Eh. I kind of lost my taste for all the prep (which I usually love), but I'm doing chocolate truffles to give everyone on our gift list this afternoon, I'm baking two scratch pies (chocolate and punkin) tomorrow, and Friday it's a big ol' ribeye roast and some garlicy mashed potatoes, and a house full of people (some of whom I'm actually looking forward to seeing!).
Poor Hel is hacking up a lung in the other room. ROTFL, I'm imagining our guests enjoying their meal with hackety-koff-koff background music, and it ain't looking to happy! In fairness, we've informed everyone that we're sick, and they still want to come, so xf/kw, looking forward to a happy day with good food and a Chargers game on the telly. ;->
