Hi Bennie

My husband brought the respiratory flu home last week. I really pushed fluids,

Popsicles, etc. so I was over it in about 5 days.

It's been a long time since I have had a fever, sweats, congestion, vicious

headache, etc. NyQuil, Ibuprofen, Sudafed, and Claritin helped manage the side

affects. I also used a normal saline solution to rinse my nares + sinuses.

This was one of the few times I am glad I don't have a job. No fuss about

calling in sick. Nurses were supposed to come to work if we were sick or not.

How is that for ridiculous?

I hope you are feeling better now. It has taken my husband about 10 days to get

over it.

Ain't life grand? ha ha
