Anyway, two of the L'il Peas have had it, then mister and I got it this week. Today is the first day I've gotten out of bed. It has been brutal. So, to all of you who are in hard-hit flu areas, stay healthy, and stay away from anyone you know who has it! We've had people dropping off food for us, and I go to the door, wave and say thank you, and send them on their way without opening the door. Hope no one else is suffering, it is miserable stuff!I think I mentioned last week the flu is at near-epidemic levels in St. Louis. The ERs are completely overrun, many of the hospitals are masking everyone who comes into the ER. The news reports are telling sufferers not to even come in to the hospitals, to call primary care physicians instead. A friend here called her son in sick to school the other day, the school secretary said she was the 76th parent to call that morning.

I wondered where you had been. I thought maybe you got monster snow and your power was out.
I can honestly say that I don't believe I've ever had the flu. I've been terrible sick in bed, high fever, etc., but not a true case of the flu. They say it is so dangerous.
Feel better soon.

Sorry to hear you have had the flu Pea's! FBB has had it too. :roll: I took him to the Dr. last Thursday and people were stack in like planes vying for runways at Hartsfield. He gave him Tamiflu and sent him home to bed. He was there until this Tuesday.
Just keep your eye on that trip to Key West. Warm sun,sand, water, just you and Mr Pea! Don't ya feel better already? ;-)

They are reporting a strand that wasn't covered with the Flu Shot. The shot will protect you against the other strands. . . .but this one is running the most rampant!

You just can't get a break, can you? I'm so sorry you all are sick...again. I thought you were going to say that someone had the chicken pox!
Love to all of you...

Glad your feeling better. It's been bad here. We took a hit at work. Last week we had 12 people out and Oakville Sr. High had 200 kids call in one day!
Darlene is my middle name, not my nickname
I hope all the peas feel better real soon!!! Believe me, I know your pain. I have had the FLU several times in my life. It is the WORST feeling in the world. I got a flu shot this year to ward it off. I hate that post up there though that say's there is a strain that the flu shot won't help. 
I sure hope I don't get it. We have alot of flu in our area right now though. They are warning people to take extra precautions. Get well soon Percy.

hmmmm......can't remember
After reading this thread, I'm going to wipe down my computer...:shock:
Hope y'all are better. There have been a couple of cases around here, but not too bad. Last night at rehearsal I told the kids that I forbid them to get sick until after the show...

Feel way better soon, Pea...and all your family as well!
And as you try to slide back in to daily life, remember that you don't have to get it all caught up in one day!

I hate that for the L'il Peas, but there was just no way around it. And I'm sure you can imagine the state my house is in.
Before the weekend is over, I'll have to attempt to summit Mt. Laundry. Shallows, thanks for the reminder to try to tackle a little at a time.I think we'll actually leave the house today. The Littlest has been asking to go to Target for two days, God love 'im. I have to say, we sure got the full experience, though, didn't miss a symptom--aches and joint pain that nearly brought me to tears at times. Glad the worst of it is behind us!
