My wife caught it, and so did my kids (the Velocity Twins). Naturally, being young and in shape (distance runners / cyclists) they merely came down with a cough for a day or two.
Happy New Year to All, and stay healthy out there.

Heh. I had this stuff x 10, from Nov 14th - Nov 26th, and it made me wish for a coma. Even my hair hurt. Caught it at a hospital lab, waiting for bloodwork for Dr’s appt. I’ve never gotten flu shots in my life, but now at 63, might have to reconsider. My immune system might not be as strong as it once was.
I have had this same strain of flu.......... but not since taking a flu shot every October.
You must have been talking to my husband. Ditto same exact event timeline. I bragged that I never get sick only to be smited that very night.
I came down with some version of a stomach flu on Friday and spent all of Saturday too sick even to watch junky TV. Mr. Mercat came down with it Saturday night. He claims it’s food poisoning and blames it on the lunch meat left over from the Christmas party. I hope not since that would mean 30 of my friends and relatives are puking throughout the New Year’s Weekend. I confirmed that my future daughter in law who ate no lunch meat is also sick so I’m still voting flu. I think that there’s a scene in The Meaning of Life along those lines. Better today. Just ate my first solid food - a Chick Fi La sandwich.
I’m knocking on wood. I used to get the flu regularly, and it was always over the holidays. I don’t think I missed more than a couple of days of work all my life.
But I haven’t had a real flu attack for several years now, and only one mild stomach bug in the past couple of years.
Might be the flu shots, but I’ve always gotten those. Might be the vitamin D3 tablets I’ve been taking. I’m not a doctor, so do your own research, but Vitamin D3 is said to be very helpful against the flu, especially in the winter when you don’t get any sun.
Again, knock on wood.
I’m sorry you’re poorly. Best wishes for a quick and full recovery!
So sorry y’all have gotten so sick except the twins.
Hubby had something he was told is RELATED to the flu - really? Related to the flu? Not so high fever, ugly cough and body aches. They told him to buy Sudafed and gave him codeine cough syrup.
Sure hope we don’t get what you had - sounds ugly. Keep well and best wishes for a happy 2013!
I missed Thanksgiving this year due to The Plague.
Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks very much, sweetest you.
Happy HEALTHY New Year and very prosperous too.
