Well damnit.. We caught the swine flu.. First I get a call from my sons kindergarten a couple weeks ago. He was running a 102 fever and had a bad headache. I drove on over and picked him up, brought him home, gave him some tylenol and put him to bed for a few hours. About that time the next day, I started feeling like shit. Aches and pains all over. Moderate fever. Wicked headache. After another day, me and my boy are running 104+ fevers, feel like our heads are gonna pop, and were just generally miserable. It went on like this for days.. Fevers would spike up to 104 or 105 as soon as the ibuprofen or acetaminophen would wear off..
Now I went and got the vaccine for the seasonal flu a month or two ago, so if it wasn't H1N1, I shoulda been immune. Also neither of us had any of the intestinal issues you'd normally see with a flu, which also points to H1N1. On top of that, we got the severe headaches that swine flu causes. We're damned lucky my wife and our 9 month old baby didn't catch it too.
It's been nearly 2 weeks and I'm still running a 100 fever off and on but my son Luke seems to be over it and is back at school. I feel better I guess but jeez, this shit has been a nightmare. I can see why it kills people. Your throat gets damn sore which makes you not want to cough. Also coughing makes the headache a few hundred times more painful. Because of these 2 things, people avoid coughing all that crap up and outta their lungs. It builds up and eventually they start having trouble breathing and it's downhill from there.
Fookin swine flu!!
