The Flu!!!
Last time I had to call out for work was back in the summer of 2022 when I got covid. Went to bed last Monday night shivering uncontrollably but all went away when I got in bed under the comforters and blankets and I slept pretty good that night other than a cough when changing sides, side sleeper, and I would cough up a little congestion but nothing major. Got up Tuesday morning, or tried to anyway, had zero energy, wife took my temp and it was 102.7 so off to Urgent Care because my Dr couldn't work me in, yeah, changing Drs now also. Before leaving for the appointment took a home covid test and it was negative. At the Urgent Care they gave me another covid test as well as a flu test and both came back negative. The Dr there said the negative results were probably because my symptoms had just started and it takes "X" hours for the tests to reveal anything. He did say that my symptoms were spot on for the flu and since I had run such a high temp he wrote an excuse from work for the rest of this week and prescribed something called Duraflu, which turned out to be Theraflu, and some Flonase for my sinus pressure. At work we start our shutdown period tomorrow which will be 2 weeks long so, my shutdown began Tuesday morning it seems.
Wow, can't believe it is Thursday already, I've pretty much been out of it and sleeping a lot!!!
So, y'all take care of yourselves out there. Feeling better now at least enough to write this, now I think I will take another nap.
