Swine flu pity party (and you're all invited)
As you read this post please keep in mind that until now I've never had to suffer the indignities of influenza and so it all came as a bit of a shock to me. What follows will undoubtedly be classed as a pity party but hey, I reckon I'm entitled.... Anyway a picture is worth a thousand words and all that so lets start with one of those.Here is N3S several days ago: streaming nose and eyes and temp of 41 degrees Celsius AFTER the antipyrexials have started working.
