Rats! I think I caught the flu....

figures!

November 22, 2004 11:51 PM from

Well, I've developed a fever, chills, a sore throat, a head and body aches and a dry cough..... so I think I can safely assume that I have fallen prey to influenza for this year... and darn early too. It hit me REALLY fast... I mean, I felt a bit fatigued and achy yesterday, and then I woke up with a sore throat and slowly got the fever throughout the day.... culminating in a violent fit of chills until I dressed myself for like an arctic winter.

My advice to everyone is if you can still get a shot, do it.... seriously.... I'll update everyone if I can tomorrow about this after I nip over to the doctor to confirm the diagnosis.

I'll probably be ok.... I mean, I feel better when I am up and doing things rather than laying down.
