~I Have the Flu~

This is a very early post. I have the flu. Its awful.
I got up at least a dozen times last nite and I don't
know which end is worse... I'm miserable and plan to
spend today and probly tomorrow in bed..

I called and cancelled Theresa's visit and my lunches
and decided to write now in case I am not up to it later.
The vomiting and diarrhea are bad enough but the
stomach pain is whats worse as I didn't sleep longer
than an hour at a time...


Its a very bad thing, don't go around anyone with it,
or you will be in this boat with me.. I wish at times like
this I did have a companion, someone to come by and
stay with me for a while and "baby" me a bit.. But I
think everyone needs that when they are ill...

Keep well and I shall try to write again tomorrow, until
then this SICKLY GORGEOUS WEEBLE says "G'Day,
G'Day"....

Y'all stay well now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks!!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today.
I'm honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again....

    Gorgeous One,

    So sorry to hear you are under the weather. I do hope you'll be feeling better soon! You'll be in my prayers of course.

    I'll be leaving for FL later today for a brief visit with the grands - be back in a week. But won't have much internet access in the meantime - but of course will be thinking of you!

    Take care of yourself!

    Bare Hugs,

    Butty

    Hi, Honey,
    I'm SO sorry to hear that you are poorly. Sounds like the bug that is doing the rounds here, too. A good stand-by for it is called kaolin and morphine over here. Your drug store should have something similar, I guess. Obviously, you have a problem getting it.
    Drink plenty, so's you don't get de-hydrated, which is all too easy to do with the gastric 'flu.
    I hope you are soon clear of it.
    Take care, Honey, and stay tucked up nice and warm as much as you can.
    Love you,
    Raife

    Lois so sorry you got the flu, that does make you real real sick, as you already know.
    Get a lot of rest and keeping drinking a little at a time...
    If you can get someone to bring you some Gatorade to drink that would help...
    Will be praying for you Lois.
    God bless you my friend.
    Mary

    I have had the flu shot every year - but the flu you have is an intestinal version that is not protected by the current flu vaccine. NY and Connecticut have been hard hit by this version. Other than chamomile tea - I don't know what helps. - sorry I can't tel you what will help.
