Forgive this poor old man if I am not at my best today.....

*I woke up this morning feeling woozy, giddy just plain nauseated* *The room was twirling and I held the bedpost for as I tried to stand it madly rotated* *Every muscle in my body seemed to ache and my bones throbbed likewise* *My sinuses were congested, I was feeling giddy and I suffered from burning eyes* *I was sneezing and coughing and I almost choked on the bacon and eggs I had for breakfast* *I prayed, “Oh Lord please give me strength and I pray this affliction will not last* *My cranium was announcing each beat of my heart* *And I could feel each heartbeat in each and every body part* *Faint and dizzy, giddy, woozy, downright shaky and just plain green around the gills* *I stumbled to the bathroom medicine cabinet and choked down a couple pills* *Then I took my body temperature and found it was as high as ninety-nine* *But if not for what I just described I would say I’m feeling fine*

Well, it certainly hasn't affected that witty brain of yours. You have more fortitude than I, to be able to write something this poignant when you're in that shape. Well done, Dick

My sympathies Lew. The Flu is miserable. The low-grade fever is a good sign that your body is fighting the infection. Drink lots of water, that's the secret. Other fluids too, but plain water and lots of it and you'll recover quickly.

Big Get Well Hug,
Marcia
