For most of this week. I've been sicker than a dog. The worst of it is it could have been entirely avoided if the powers that be at work were rational. "Everyone must have a doctor's note for even a one day absence." So what do people do? Come in when they're sick, because no one goes to the doctor the first day they are sick. Just enough to ensure that the whole herd will eventually get it. But "TPTB" apparently can't calculate the true cost to the bottom line to doing that. "gee, is it better to have a few people out sick a few days - or guarantee the whole herd gets it and is miserable and bring productivity down overall?" I now know who will vote for Nobama. In my 34 years in the work force precisely TWO employers would make a point of sending people home if hey were ill.
Will the guy who SHOULD catch the flu get it? Probably not. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping he would. Where's that Pennsylvania Dutch Hex Sign when I need it?
Get your shots early this year, I feel like I've been at death's door most of the week.
And I hope anyone who has St. Therese of Lisieux as a patron had a fine feast day. I'd wanted to make a post on he first, and post a nice picture of a St. Therese statue I inherited from my grandmother. It's chalk, cheap, dinged up, and at least as old as I am. I love it because of what it is, and from whom I inherited it from. I'd post a pic, but I haven't the energy yet. Maybe on the weekend.

So glad your feeling better--okay, you've convinced me--I'm going for the shot--but then since I'm a nurse, it's highly suggested--well they twist your arm until you.
I'm not even really feeling better. The flu/cold/black death has gotten to the point where I'm hacking up green death. I'll probably miss Mass on Sunday.
Alcohol. Lots of it.
Yuck. Hang in there, friend, and feel better!
Sorry to learn you were sick. I was wondering why you hadn't been posting. I hope you get better soon.
Hope you feel better soon, have you taken antibiotics to clear the rubbish form your chest? You might even need a course of steroids. I'm athmatic and prone to picking up chest infetions and other nasties, when i start hacking green goo i know it's a chest infection and get me too a doctor. Years ago, i didn't do anything about it and ended up on a drip in hospital for a week.
Get thee to a doctor. pronto!
and keep us updated as to how you are, please.
Sorry to hear you're so sick!! I've had a little cold and felt like a total baby since it wasn't really bad but I was so wiped out by it. Yours sounds awful!! Haven't had one of those in years. Prayers and wishes you get better soon.
