Still Recovering!

 

Appetite stimulating medicine. 

We are still recovering from a very nasty flu. We both got sick a day or two apart, but we had very different symptoms from each other. The only symptoms that we had in common was fatigue and loss of appetite. 

On day three or four we thought that it was over. Not! Today is day twelve. Our appetite is starting to return somewhat, we are still weak, but not exhausted. Yesterday we managed to stay up for more than a couple of hours. 

We have not had the flu in probably 20 years or more. I think about 10 years ago we got a mean 24-hour stomach virus. We have no idea how or where we picked up this virus. The post office is our only suspect where Number One Husband actually had a conversation with a human being in person for a very short period of time.

Hopefully we will be back on our feet soon. Until then, we will just take it easy and continue to rest. Thank you for your patience!

Influenza

We have been sick with the flu (Influenza). We have no idea how we got sick or where we would have come in contact with a sick person. Number One Husband was first and within 12 hours I had symptoms. We were supposed to go on a two-night trip soon to visit with friends from Arkansas. 

I have no idea if we are still contagious or not, but we don't want to take any chances with the health and well-being of our friends, plus I feel like *!!/+ still. Number One Husband is on the phone right now with our friends. I don't know if it is going to work out or not. 
 

We were very excited because we were going to a new place. Last time that they were here, I had broken my front tooth, so only Number One Husband was able to visit with them. 

It looks like we are only contagious for three days (in most cases). Social distancing didn't work, and this flu comes on within one day of exposure. It hits hard and fast. Surfaces must have been the mode of transmission when we picked up a package from the post office. 

After discussing the situation with our friends, we cancelled our get together. I think it's for the best, since I can barely walk to the chicken coop and back without getting absolutely exhausted....
