"Knocked me for six"

[ailbhe]

Someone was on the radio today saying that this flu was awwwwwful and had totally knocked her for six, she'd been in bed for four days!

Er, I thought it was mild compared to normal flu, because on my fourth day of staying in bed I was able to get up for two hours.

Emer's chest is rattling and her voice is hoarse, but the paracetamol is working - and where oral paracetamol makes her gag and choke and get sick and fight and cry for ages, we gave her a suppository in her sleep and although she did wake it was only for a few seconds.

Linnea seems to be about nearly better.

I will not get up and scrub the bathroom. It would be stupid. But I really, really want to.

Having had influenza 4 times (no idea why I am so unlucky) it really pisses me off when people are up & about with a bad cold moaning they have the flu. Getting out of bed on day 8 of flu is a major achievment.

Please don't clean the bathroom, it's not worth feeling worse for hours after the exertion.
