It’s Confirmed
Yesterday’s nose swab confirmed it – I have the flu.
She said I was the third patient they’d seen in their office who got the flu shot and got the flu anyway. Remember, the rarest of things usually happen to me. It’s the same rare category that gave me the successful Stage 4 cancer result! (Pollyanna-ish here!)
I’ve NEVER believed in flu shots, but only took the shot last year and this year because of the cancer I’m fighting against returning.
She was afraid Rissy was on the verge of the flu, but she tested negative. She could be positive today. We both received an antibiotic prescription for nose and throat stuff.
Riss’ and I are under quarantine in the master bedroom until two days after our fevers break.
The whole family is on Tamiflu. Jesse is the only one without insurance and it cost him $99 for his RX. YIKES!
I’ll be back when I can. Right now, I’m a walking contagion and really don’t need to be touching the keyboard. I’ll wipe everything down when I’m done, here!
I know my friends will pray for us. Thanks, as always!
Be Blessed ~

Praying for you to get better. I have been so sick too.
You are all in my prayers! Get well soon family.
So sorry t hear you are sick. Hubby and I also are fighting colds, but I don’t know if it is the flu. No fevers, for which I am thankful! Just lots of hacking and blowing! LOL! I am praying that you and Rissy will feel better soon, and that no one else catches it. HUGS!
