The Flu
The Flu | Jacqueline Druga
7 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Throughout history there have been several thousand different strains of influenza. Each year hundreds are active. Chances are, this year, you will catch one of those strains. You will cough, sneeze, and your body will ache. Without a second thought, youll take a double dose of green liquid, go to bed, and swear youll feel better in the morning. Not this time. In 1918, forty million people succumbed to a particular strain of swine flu. It appeared out of nowhere, and just as quickly as it surfaced, the Spanish Flu vanished. Gone for good. Or so we thought. Though mankind has anticipated its resurfacing for some time, mankind is ill prepared. Mutated and with a vengeance, the Spanish Flu returns. In a world blackened with plague, a glimmer of light exists in the small town of Lodi, Ohio. They shine as a sanctuary because they are flu-free. In the wake of the reality that they are spared, the spirit and strength of Lodi is tested. It becomes a fight against what is morally right or wrong in an increasingly difficult battle to stay healthy and alive until the flu has run its course.

I've been incommunicado since the weekend with a nasty case of the stomach flu. I couldn't even read. The horror! 😫
I'm hoping to catch up with you all over the next few days. And start a book.

MaleficentBookDragon I know the stomach flu is running rampant everywhere. I want to let my match recipients know that I had purchased, wrapped, and packed up everything well before I got sick; so your packages should all be germ free. I was just very lazy in shipping. 😊

So what I thought was allergies is now body aches, cough, chills, stuffy head, sinus congestion and sneezing. All which led to a doctor visit and a flu swab. Well, at least I have 20 minutes to read, right?

I finally went back to work today, after missing almost a week. I went in Tuesday feeling horrible, and my boss sent me home after 30 minutes. I went to the doctor, and he said I had type A flu. I wasn't supposed to go back to work until Tuesday but he said as long as my fever was gone 24 hours I could go back. It's been a rough week, but I'm glad to be feeling better. I did get a lot of reading done.

Texreader Glad you are better! Sounds miserable!! 6y

He just woke up from a 3 hour nap so he looks pretty miserable, but his fever *finally* broke! He seems to have a little more appetite today but I think he‘s pretty dehydrated despite my pushing fluids on him constantly...

Jensol77 Poor baby. Both my kids have it too 🤒😷🤧🤢 6y

So the flu really sucks. I‘ve been so sick for the 5 days that I can‘t even read. 😢 had to go back to Dr today because I couldn‘t breathe. Maybe tomorrow I‘ll be able to read some. Get your flu shot, wash your hands, and go to the dr right away if you might have the flu 😷

LeahBergen Poor you! ❤️ 6y
Redwritinghood Sounds horrible. Hope you feel better soon. 6y
JSW I‘m so sorry. Sending virtual soup and good wishes. 6y
