YUCK!
Oh dang! The tigger up above us supposed to be animated and his tongue is hanging out and swinging back and forth like he just tasted something awful. Too bad animated pictures work in the side bar but not in the main blog!
I was told the flu of last year and this year is an especially tough one, making people much sicker for much longer. Mom and I both have it. She got over it in a week so I am hoping that will happen to me too. It's day 4 for me, but feels like it's down in my lungs already. Stupid temperature is 104f (40 c) even with the fever medicine. I remember reading that chicken soup made with real chicken, not artificial flavoring, has anti-viral and antibiotic properties and has saved whole towns during flu epidemics, so I am living on that. I'm sure it will pass, because of all my dear friends praying for me. It's just yucky for a few days. WASH YOUR HANDS A LOT--AVOID THIS YEAR'S FLU...ITS A ROUGH ONE!
Blessings,
HANG IN THERE!
Hope you pull through fast without any nasty complications--glad your Mom is better. Do they give flu shots where you are? I finally got mine through my job--not taking any chances!
(I've given up meat for health reasons, but I wouldn't say no to a bowl of homemade chicken soup--yummy!)

Hi Sis; On the news the other night they were talking about flu shots and said that "over 7,000 Canadians die each year from the flu shot, but the benefits outweigh the risks". I thought "WHAT? What could outweigh the risk of DEATH?" Then I realized that because she was a leader in the health industry, she was considering the risk of a pandemic, not considering the risk of the individual person. I have heard doctors tell me its impossible to get sick from a flu shot, but after hearing that health official say that, either those doctors don't know the statistics, or they are lying so that we will take our shots to avoid a pandemic. I had a computer repairman here last week who said he was down sick for 3 weeks after his flu shot, so I think I got this from him or from the ER or from Mom, I don't know which.In Canada we have great anti-virals which I took for a week to stave it off, but it only works on type A virus, so this flu must be type B. I have not had individual servings of meat more than twice this year and I find that I have less inflammation and less stomach problems, but I still do like little bits of meat in soup or stir fry. Meat and milk has changed, with all the chemicals they pump in the animals.
Happy turkey day sis.
Sheila

This season we have to protect our body from cold, wind and take more vitamins/natural/...I know that you know that.
Take care dear Sheila.
You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
