The Stomach Flu SUCKS!
Posted on January 25, 2008
A couple of months ago, I took Chloe in for her check up and they gave her a flu shot. At that time, the doctor recommended that I also get a shot because even though Chloe may not have any symptoms, she can still be a carrier and can give me the flu. I said, “sure, I’ll get right on that.” With absolutely no intention of getting a shot. Boy am I an idiot! I haven’t felt this bad for four years! I just spent all of yesterday in bed, afraid to move, with fierce muscle aches reminiscent of growing pains. Luckily, John was smart enough to get a flu shot, and was able to come home yesterday to take care of Chloe. I feel much better today, but I just gotta say, “THAT SUCKED!”
I just had to get the death plague Asian want-to-make-you-die Flu once and have been diligent with the flu shots ever since. It does suck!!! Glad you’re feeling better!
The one thing I’ll hand to Kaiser Permanente is, they had this drive-up flu shot clinic and you got the vaccine free. It took all of 15 minutes, despite the fact there were hundreds of people there. Made me oddly suspicious that they were preparing for some sort of disaster though…
Um, I thought the flu shot was for influenza not stomach flu…
I am glad you are feeling better.
