I am NOT saying that I had the "swine flu", but I was down last Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with a bad flu bug. The usual symptoms, plus a high fever that finally broke Monday night. I was very achy even through the weekend, feeling like I had been hit by a truck! My doctor told me there is a bad strain of flu going around (never mentioned swine flu) and that I needed to watch for dehydration.

By the way, I had a flu shot (as always) this year, but apparently this strain was not covered by that.

I have a second job at a woman's clothing store, and I think I may have gotten it from touching all of the hangers, clothes, and money transactions.

I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It was awful....
