I’m okay. Thanks, Lily. Hope you’re feeling better and your mom was satisfied with a Hershey bar! 😉

You, know, Greenfields, I didn’t even feel it when it happened. Didn’t feel it until I came home and it stung quite a bit. But it’s better today. I would advise people to keep their tongue away from the drill, though!

I had my chocolate-banana smoothie. Delicious! I should be having a berry one for breakfast, though. Or blueberries and oatmeal. I generally eat pretty healthy, though, but I couldn’t manage chewing anything this morning.

Mama had a Hershey bar and some Ritz crackers and of course, her flavored (w MiO) water. I was well enough to make her a stuffed pepper for lunch. She’ll have another tomorrow.

Me, I tried to eat. But I couldn’t keep anything down. Today, it wasn’t due to GERD. I haven’t been this sick since I had double pneumonia when I was 12. I may end up having to go to the ER if I don’t get any better.

I think tomorrow will be a liquid diet just to give my body a rest.
 
I’m really sorry to hear that, Lily. I hope you feel better. I know you will, but be careful of dehydration. I tend to let that happen to me.
 
Yeah, I’ve had to force fluids down me today. Not thirsty. Not hungry. I keep thinking of our priest who let dehydration get to him. He was away from Mass for a couple of months.

I always keep bottles of Ensure, Gatorade and water on my desk. I love my liquids. So not wanting anything and having to force myself to eat and drink is unusual for me.

Even tho the ERs are full due to this flu, I’m going to phone tomorrow and see if I can come in. I know I don’t have the strain of flu I had before. But there are several strains going around and I may have one of those. If I am told to come in, I’ll have a friend take me and stay with me.

In the meantime, I’m planning a liquid diet for tomorrow just to give my system a rest.

It is good to see you using Gatorade because it is very good at helping to keep one hydrated. Still don’t forget to take some water during the day too.

Here is hoping, with lots of prayers, that you get to feeling better soon. I think Saints Jacinta and Francisco Marto would be great to ask for help since they both suffered from influenza.

We had cheeseburger pockets tonight. There was supposed to be baked beans with that but we were out of those.
 
Peppermint tea + Lemon juice + Honey + Cognac = Throat Soothing Toddy :coffee: 😑
 
Cognac…😁 you sound like a neighbor of mine ,know the cure to most ailments.
(On a more serious note,sorry you have been hit with the flu)

Hope you’re feeling better! Flu has been awful this year, and I read flu shots this year don’t offer much protection. Don’t know if it’s true. I didn’t get one myself.

I had fish and chips for dinner.

I was up all night being sick and struggling not to be sicker. I finally gave up at 2am and got up. Going to have some lemon and honey to soothe my throat.

I did break down and eat some veggies from Dragon Garden (my “go to” place when I’m sick - their chicken soup works miracles). I wanted some real food in me. But I still think a (mostly) liquid diet will be it for the day.
 
A few chips ( fries) in the car; been out all day and never get round to eating

I hope you don’t have to go to the ER, but if you feel you need to…don’t try to tough it out and get too sick. Hope you’re feeling better by now.

ERs are full to the max. They’re now encouraging people to stay home unless they have a temperature of 103F or higher. I’m not quite that high. I phoned my PCP who phoned the hospital since it’s an epidemic locally. Long story short, I now have more anti-viral meds and will be kept closely monitored. They can’t admit me anyway because there are no beds available.

I am basically toughing it out at home (feeling better than I did earlier today and definitely better than yesterday, thanks to my new meds), resting and yes, on a liquid diet for today, at least. Gatorade, Boost and beef and chicken broth. Jello if I want something sweet to eat. (Ice cream deemed too rich.)

Just finished a Gatorade.

My assembled cold regiment! Much thought has gone into its construction.
 
Glad you have the antivirals and can keep the Gatorade down. I guess there’s not much more you can do except rest. Hope you keep feeling better each day, Lily!
