Angry with the FLU!

After Christmas Eve about four people got the flu, including Kyle.  I was dumb and talking about how I hadn't gotten it and that if I did get it I would get it around JoAnn's funeral.  Well guess what, I got it yesterday!!!  I was so angry and upset, I had to miss the visitation and the funeral this morning.

I don't think I can remember ever being so sick, thankfully today my tummy feels so much better but I'm just exhausted.  It did cause a 7 pound weight loss for me, too bad it's not in a healthy way and it will just come back.

I woke up at about 5:30 this morning, my arms had been bothering me a little in the night and my face felt kind of weird.  When I looked in a mirror I looked like a freaking chipmunk, seriously it's like I have a giant hive on each cheek, my face is totally swollen.  Both of my arms were also covered in hives and swollen, I have no idea why.  I didn't eat or drink anything unusual, so I decided to go back to bed.

Now that I'm up and moving around my face is still totally swollen but my arms seem to be a little bit better, it's just so WEIRD.

Whoa, I have never heard of flu symptoms like that! I am so sorry. I had bad hives (welts) on my arms last night. I had to take 2 benadryl so I could go to bed. I am so sorry you had to miss the funeral. I hope you feel better soon. I am terrified of getting the flu!

Although from different places, but this perception is consistent, which is relatively rare point!
