My home was been infiltrated by.....

The Flu. We have confirmation of influenza breaching the outer perimeter at 9am yesterday. Down immediately were my wife and 7 year old daughter. Nothing would stay down. 3 year old had a flu shot a few weeks ago and wouldn't you know, she's just fine. I avoided contamination, or at least I thought I did until I woke up at midnight with the shivers.

If you've not done so....GO GET A FLU SHOT. I should have and now I'm paying the price. We planned on Elitch today, that's out. Reunion party tomorrow night, confidence is at 5% on that one. Darn darn darn....at least I can type. [Help]

damn that sucks , hope you feel better

Hope you guys get better ASAP!

I know its going around, last time I got a shot I was sick in bed for 4 days no eating or drinking, didnt even have to use the restroom after day 2. That was 2 years ago, I probably wont get one again.

I just got over it a couple weeks ago, first time in 4 years (since I'm no longer subject to command mandated flu shots) that I've caught that nasty little bug. Out of action time: 4 1/2 days.
Get well soon, and hopefully you don't get the residual effects that I did (sore throat for 3 days after, hard to eat acidic and spicy foods from my esophagus being torn up by stomach acid).

I normally don't ever get a flu shot but last year with my wife being pregnant with out first, we both got it. Think we will continue this year. Hope you get some rest and feel better

I've never had a flu shot. Unless when I was a baby or something.

Try not to eat anything but fruit.

Dang, hope you guys start feeling better.

I try everything possible short of sexual favors to get out of getting my flu shot or "the mist". It's pretty tough, being in the military, to not get one, but sometimes it works out. The only time I ever get sick with the flu is when I get that darned flu shot.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN GETTING THE FLU SHOT, SOME CONTAIN MERCURY

Don't believe me, Google it for yourself.
