Yep, I sure did have flu and bronchitis! Two weeks ago, I had the flu. Went to the doctor on day three after toughing it out at school and sharing the germs with all my students!
He told me to take it easy and stay home the rest of the week, but I tried to go back too soon. And then spent the weekend doing chores because my fever was 'only 100'!Hence, the following week I was out with bronchitis. I still have a crummy cough, esp in the morning and late at night, hope it doesn't linger much longer...
I'm with you, BobbieJo! I started having flu symptoms a few weeks ago and did take two sick days. I went back to work but never really did feel all that well but I figured it would just go away. I too kept busy all weekend and now I'm down with bronchitis and on my fifth sick day in a row, I can't ever remember feeling so terrible! At least today I'm up and feel a little energized (after I finished coughing, of course)or at least don't feel like passing out, which is better than the last two days. Yup, a week of codeine cough syrup and puffers. There's nothing better than sucking back some codeine and then spending the day staring at beige walls. Personally, I like to swig it right from the bottle, none of those sissy little measuring cups, I know when I've had enough....but then again I did see the Virgin Mary on my living room wall and she was crying real tears. Ain't codeine a beautiful thing! OK, gotta run I've got another big sick day planned, maybe they'll be some action at the garbage chute today, who knows cuz every sick day is a brand new adventure. Get well BJ.
