Isn't it ironic.
- 18 February 2010 22:2141037The irony - I have a bad cold and I'm doing an interview with a health and fitness mag tomorrow morning!
Any more irony? - 18 February 2010 23:2341040Oh Jeane you poor baby, get well soon hun and good luck.
I had last Sunday off after my trip, back to work Monday and Tuesday, Tuesday a visit to the hospital with a damaged eyeball, could only see through one eye for a while and now on holiday til Monday.
The eyes a bit better now though.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 19 February 2010 08:5141051Did Fran cuddle you too tightly then Ian - so pleased to get you back ?
Roger - 19 February 2010 09:2641053Thanks Ian, oh poor you - I hope your eye is well on the mend.
- 19 February 2010 10:2341060Thanks Jeane, yes well on the mend now.
Leave it out Roger, we greeted each other with a formal hand shake and a pressie from a slate quarry.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 19 February 2010 10:4141061Ian

I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 21 February 2010 21:3341141Update I had to postpone the interview as said flu had taken a turn for the worst and the severity of the symptoms posed the question that it was possibly swine flu. A quick check with NHS Direct and I ticked all the boxes - joy!
It was too late for Tamiflu which has to be taken with the first 48 hours (not that I'd have taken it anyway) so I soldiered on with paracetamol having had an allergic reaction to Beechams Flu Plus. Someone asked me what it's like? My description was - think of the worse case of flu you've ever had and X that by 4! Saturday evening if I had gone to sleep and never woken up again I'd have been thankful!! This evening I'm pleased to report there has been a slight improvement. - 21 February 2010 21:3741142Get well soon !
My swine flu wasn't that bad on tamiflu, but I am still running at about 75% after nearly a month :(Been nice knowing you :) - 21 February 2010 21:3941143Thanks Paul. Hope you feel 100% soon. I've been warned about the tiredness and feeling like you have had 'the stuffing knocked out of you' afterwards!

- 22 February 2010 07:4941156Good to see your sense of humour is still well Jeane, hope the rest of you catch up soon.
Roger - 22 February 2010 09:3741163Thank you Roger, my sense of life struggled back to life yesterday evening - it was definitely dead since last Friday though!!
- 22 February 2010 09:4541164Very glad to see you are mending Jeane. Dont want to lose you to swine flu as you are very much part of the essential machinery around here...our direct link to the supernatural and the hereafter would be lost should you not be around...lol!!
=Jeane
I love your new pallor
email: dover7@msn.com - 22 February 2010 10:4841165Thank you PaulB, you can't keep me down for long so I'll still be communicating from this side not the other side ha ha!
- 23 February 2010 19:3041250Take care Jeane, as Scotchie said, the tiredness will linger on for a while. I remember when I nursed Briony through a horrendous case of swine flu last year, poor thing she really had a very bad time of it. Thankfully she recovered well but it did take quite some time. Take it nice and easy
- 23 February 2010 21:0241256Thank you Colette, I remember you posting on here when Briony had it. As I am no longer contagious I ventured out today to do some shopping (best way to cheer a girl up
) but gave up after a couple of hours as I was too tired/wheezy/headachy! I'll be working on a project at home for the rest of the week so will be taking it easy. I might have square eyes from using the computer too much though! 
- 4 March 2010 19:2942274Well I'd like to say I'm feeling much better now but.............I am at the stage where I am sick of being sick! I have so much to do but no energy to tackle anything, even sitting in front of the computer and thinking was a major effort! I haven't been well and free of flu symptoms for over a month now as I had a sore throat and felt achy for two weeks before the swine flu started. I'm not sure if it's a continuation of that or something else. I thought I had turned a corner yesterday as I was out in London but I just couldn't get warm, so here I am still coughing, sneezing, watery eyed, sore throated and exhausted.
Anyone else care to join me in a pity party?!
- 4 March 2010 21:0442306Yes ME.Sick to death of having this gammy leg.Its bloody painful and inconvenient.I am taking some serious tablets that knock the 'wit' out of me. 7 weeks and still counting.

I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 4 March 2010 21:2942309Oh poor Marek, I hope it improves soon. I realise I shouldn't moan because I have nothing compared to some people, but I was just having a 'moment'.
