I'm stil home because I came home for a LONG break. Five and a half years wore on me and I told them I was going home for about three months and was going to review all options during this time. I needed to get away from the constant confinement and reconnect with my own country, warts and all.

I was told that I likely got it because I had just come home and had not been exposed to it at all. The fever and aches only lasted about three days....the deep cough that seemed to start from my toes lasted three weeks. Nights were the worst.

They said mine was a mild case due to the fact that I am a "healthy adult." But I hated it and there is NO WAY mI'm getting that again.

Is yours gone now? I'm pretty much 100% over it now, but it sure took long enough.

Oh yes, this was in April .. arrived for the wedding
just as the flu news was breaking and panic about to
set in globally ... promoted like the plague. It was
strange .. the day after my return, had a weird frog
in my throat. Within days and for days, fever .. but
really a relatively mild ... but longish .. episode,
thank God.

Wow .. so you’re home... and at a crossroads.

God bless you forever for all you’ve given and all
I’m sure it’s meant to our troops .. and provide
you with wisdom in your decision.

I’m sure TX looks so great, and you’re thrilled
to be home for more than 2 weeks .. enjoy every
second, as you ponder the next chapter.

Could your employment continue here if you wanted
to stay?

If I could afford it, I’d be in the islands for the
next 3 years.
