In bed with the Australian


I know many of you can't read this, but I'm too sick to do it over again in english. It's a timeline of the sickness going around our family. I was already sick on New Year's Eve, and now AGAIN! I can't believe it. My fever spiked out at 103.2 and now it's holding steady at about 102°. When I was so miserable and wanted it to just go away, all I could think of was "be grateful that you do not have a fatal disease. You have a fever, the flu. That's it. Tough it out and in a week tops you'll be back to normal." Trite but true. I'll write again when I can stay in a vertical position for more than five minutes...

Awww, even us non-Italian-speakers can figure out that it is NOT good! I hope you and your family get well soon!

As for me, I'm superstitiously knocking on wood in the hopes that our flu vaccine works well for the correct strains circulating this year!
