One of my friends has the stomach flu and says she feels like she's been run over by a truck. I have the cold/flu and it must be the same truck, but the symptoms are more easily discussed!
Coughing, sneezing, blowing the nose, fever, sweating...just to mention a few. As the antibiotics begin to kick in, there is a hint of light at the end of the tunnel. But that light is deceptive, because it's attached to the next truck - weakness.
Last night I felt a bit better and thought I needed to cook something nourishing. I made some rice, cut up onion, red pepper, and mushrooms. The stir fry was delicious, but when I got up this morning, I realized I had not washed the iron skillet in which I cooked it! I was exhausted and just took my meds and went to bed.
Sometimes when I have the flu - of any kind - my brain is affected. I'm a little skittish about driving, as my reactions seem a bit delayed. It's like I'm doing everything in a slow-moving fog.
As much as possible I am taking it easy, but I feel like I should be working on something...paperwork, taxes, whatever. I will give myself another day of drinking water and resting and hopefully the truck will be parked for good.
