I have heard of cases around us but I didn't personally know anyone with it. I guess that other flu out there isn't fun either - my Mom's neighbor that that-said it wasn't H1N1 but she was down for over a week. All the same ffects that Bonnie has. Give Bonnie my love and take good care of her and yourself.

Most of what Iam hearing is it is affecting the younger people and children. Any comments from you all would love to hear.

The doctor said he has post sinus drip and a cold. He didn't even take a blood test. He is still sick. It isn't a two or three day thing. Tell Bonnie, I hope she feels better soon.
Frank 93 posts Oct 19, 2009 6:30 AM	Well her fever broke during the night, so the fever part lasts about 6 days. Now she has this bad cough and it seems it's settling in her chest, hopefully that will clear up in a few days as well. At least she's on the downhill side of this thing. As I said before, this is a very nasty virus. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, then it's my turn! At least it will all be out of the way before Mike gets here. That's the last thing he needs. Then on the other hand, I could come to the luncheon alone and give all of my female friends a big hug and a kiss. :>) Better not threaten that, nobody will show up!

They all seems to report that you think you are starting to feel better then you go back down again for a couple of days then finally start to truly get better. Even the gal next to mom, who was told her she didn't have n1h1 had that same roller coaster. she thought she was better, went to church, then was down again for 2 more day then then all of a sudden she knew she was on the road to recovery. Sending healing thoughts Bonnie's way. Sure hope you don't come down with it Frank.

Frank 94 posts Oct 19, 2009 3:48 PM	Ouch! I think I'm the only one she's been kissing lately Dusty! But I believe I understand what you were trying to say. :>)

Frank 95 posts Oct 21, 2009 12:57 PM	Hey Don, She woke up this morning feeling about 90% back to normal. So it took a little over a week for that to happen. Her Doctor was telling me that those of us over 60 may have some sort of partial immunity caused by a flu shot we received years ago. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get it! Stay well guys, and as Dusty stated so eloquently, "stop kissing pigs"!
dfifeaz 1180 posts Oct 21, 2009 1:22 PM	So---- There is finally some positive points to being 60+???!!! I had heard the same thing Frank. Glad to hear that Bonnie is getting better. Just wanted to check the board and see if any other dieases had been around, swine, hoof n' mouth, etc.... I am still giggleing about those comments -

don grimley 197 posts Oct 21, 2009 5:31 PM	Frank sounds great. I wish I woke every morning feeling 90% back to normal. But I guess I should not think normal is how I felt when I was 25.

Frank 96 posts Oct 22, 2009 7:44 AM	Your a funny guy Kenny! Actually I had a fondness for pigs as well, but that was mostly in the late 60's and early 70's!
