The Bug!

Oh no -- Mr. Tennis and I both came down with the bug . . .
Influenza A!
Yes, we had flu shots -- I even had a "super-shot" or so they said!

 
But, oh my word -- this bug makes you feel like you've
been hit or run over by a train!
We both have had fevers, body aches, tiredness, chills, 
nausea -- the whole enchilada!
Mr. T caught it first and with his comprised 
immune system due to Crohn's and biologics,
he got right to the doctor (thanks to a little nudge by moi) and on Tamiflu.
Two days later - the bug got me too!
Also went to the doc asap and on Tamiflu.
I felt a little better after a day or two,
but still exhausted.

Now, we're in the cough and really tired stage,
so Mr. T got some surgical masks for us to
wear!  It's a fun look, believe me.
Haven't worn surgical masks since we returned from
China in 2003 during the SARS epidemic!
Luckily Miss M has not caught the bug and
I sure hope she doesn't!

We're having a snow day today due
to blizzardy conditions!
I think a nap is in order very soon!
Wash your hands and try to stay healthy friends!
