This Little Piggy

Swine flu.  Eight days and counting.  The first four days felt like death, but I think I’m finally over the hump now.

It started innocently enough last Saturday morning – an odd hollow feeling in the chest.  By 3:00 pm I was in bed.  For days.  They say it comes on “suddenly”.  Boy, they weren’t kidding.

Andy took me to Pine Valley Open Space yesterday so I could sit and read (or sit and sleep!) in the warm sun with fresh air.  The sounds of a babbling brook soothed my achy body.  I was able to go for a little walk, too…but good thing there was a park bench to lay down on before my return trip.

We’re crossing our fingers that Andy doesn’t follow suit.  The doctor gave us a prescription for Tamiflu for Andy to take.  Once you are showing full-blown symptoms, there’s nothing they can give you.  But hopefully the Tamiflu will work for Andy.
