Sick Time

I have hundreds of hours of Sick Time from my employer. Years of unused sick days just sitting incase I get sick, at the ready to be used... I hope to never need to use them again. I have not had the "flu" in many years and always laughed at it and how badly folks say they feel. Sure lots of colds and normal things that take you down for a day. This is awful- holy hell.

Once I took the Tamiflu yesterday it was like the flu was rising up and saying hell no and doubled down on it's intensity. This morning when I took it I thought for sure death himself was doing to take me. Tamilflu says it reduces the Flu by 1.3 days? Gladly will I suffer for more days instead of the violent nausea and feeling I got from taking this stuff. User beware.

I am going off to silently suffer some more...

P.S.
Don't make fun of the flu. I did once, then I got it so bad that I had to crawl on my hands and knees to get to the bathroom. Now I have a deep respect for the virus.

Oh man, that sucks. I heard Tamiflu can make you nauseous...guess its a case of 'if the disease don't kill ya, the cure will. Hope you'll be feeling better soon.

Perhaps some online camera gear shopping to distract you from the flu. Get well soon.

Feel better soon! Did you get a flu shot this year? I know they said they missed the main strain.

...and I read 'stick time' - looking behind the chair - stereo sticks - was wondering if they're something to do with dealing with reflections from loudspeakers....!?!
Anyway, don't let the 'cure' get you down!
