In Dallas, had flu shot, got flu anyhow (not cold) for probably first time ever. Can't recall ever being that sick. 102-103 fever for four days. Horrible. Missed more work that week than in past ten years combined. Many of our pro athletes here are even missing games because of it.
I've always thought people with flu were wimps. Not now.
I was so sick with it I now understand how it can kill thousands of people. Its been a month and just now feel like my energy is back. I figure its either added or taken away five years of my life depending on how you view the immune system.

The last time I had the real flu was 38 years ago....

..I was 'out of it' for 3 or 4 days....also my husband....
