Is it a cold or the flu?

I have had a sore throat the other day. It seems to have gone away but now I have a fever, headache and body aches. Ken had a cold for two weeks and was feeling real bad. Russell had a sore throat and a cough. I hope this is not the flu. I heard from Judy, she reads this blog, that she had the flu and it was no fun. Well the good thing is that I don’t have to be at work. The bad thing is it will keep me from looking for work. The other bad thing.. no one here is going to do anything for me. I don’t think I can expect anyone to pick up anything I need or want. I can’t even get Russell to take out the trash. I better plug in the ATI remote so I can change TV stations from my bed. OK.. I did that.. It works. I am starting to feel real bad.

Sounds like the flu to me. Mine actually
started out with a sore throat, then went into fever and severe chills. There I was with fever but yet had the chills so bad that I couldn't get warm. Then the body aches started up. All over. You are weak, aching, feverish and don't have the strength to do anything. Luckily I had someone to help me. I mainly drank plenty of liquids, water and orange juice and for some reason only wanted hot instant oatmeal. It was fast and simple and just felt good on the sore throat. If you don have the flu don't expect to feel better for a couple of weeks. Take tylenol or something like that and it will help some.
