You would think that a flu shot would actually prevent you from getting the flu. But -of course- for me that isn’t true. Every year I get a letter from my general practician telling me that it’s time for my flu shot. I get the letter because of my arthritis, which causes my immune system to be very weak. So in general if someone has a slight cough, I get a light flu.

With that in mind I went to the doctors office last Thursday to get my shot. The next day I already felt my throat acting up a little and over the weekend it progressed from a slight cold to a full flu. I attended my work outing on Saturday night and when I came back I got very sick. Not because I was drunk or anything (as I don’t drink and drive!) but it was the flu acting up.

By Sunday I couldn’t do anything else than lay in bed, sleep, take enough fluids and hoped to get better to go to work the next day. But the flu doesn’t get beaten by a day in bed, so I’ve been sick since the weekend although I’m feeling better, hopefully I feel good enough to go to work tomorrow.

It seems that nothing ever can go a normal way with me, but hey, at least it’s never boring .
