If you havent had the latest flu. .be ready =(
My friend came back from Georgia. got discharged from the army for having a bum knee. We went to gameworks in Newport, KY and he got terribly sick. I was fine until 2 days later. Couldnt hold anything down, including sprite, water, tea. I started getting sick saturday morning around 6am. didnt stop throwing up until around 6pm that day. and as of this morning at 730 im still running a 101.3 temp =(

So be forewarned. it sucks

3. The flu dropped my Uncle and my Grandparents last week
My Uncle had it first, then my Grandmother,then my Grandfather. I stayed far away from them. We have all had our flu shots even then, you are still very sick for a day or two and it's not fun. Everyone is up and about now, but they still aren't 100%.

4. I got it last Friday and still am not 100% after over a week.
Even my skin hurt during the worst of it.

8. I assume you didn't get the shot?
I went 34 years without catching the flu..only once I caught the flu that I decided to get the shot every year. I caught the flu once after a shot..I was only sick for two days and then felt fine.

I had the flu without the shot and it was weeks before I felt normal again.
