THE BEGINNING OF THE FLU?

February 28 & 29, Tuesday & Wednesday, 2012
 
I rested my pointer/typing finger and brain the last couple of days. I am also getting over a bad sinus infection. [I can hear Guilda Radner in my mind playing Rosa Anna Danna, saying ‘if it’s not one thing it’s another’. My ride, electric wheelchair, bracket with the speed and joystick, is broken. The place that services it will be here on Thursday. Duct tape is a wonderful invention.

Back to my adventure…..bad flu….When the hospital tells you it’s BLANK, you believe them. I was prepared for the flu…a really bad one.
I wasn’t hungry, felt lousy, a real joy to be around. I stayed in the spare/guest room. I didn’t take a shower for days.[boy, I must have smelled] When you feel that lousy-you don’t care. I didn’t move out of bed except to use the bathroom. I remember trying to brush my hair. [it was long then]. I balanced myself, one hand on the counter and my feet about shoulder width apart. My Mother was so sweet, she’d open the window, during the day [I knew it was to air out the room]she would say it was something else not to make me feel worse. She would try to get me to eat, spoon fed me soup and crackers, popsicle , anything I could get down and willing to eat. I felt horrible.
