We are both really sick, but you are so right, nothing like sitting in your recliner, wrapped in a blanket, and watching the golfers go round in the sun, knowing that in a couple of days you will be feeling OK again.

Don't know if it is the same but there is an illness going around the country that includes a hacking caough and dripping noselasting two -three weeks. I've run into a number of people who hae complained abot it.

That super dosed flu shot sent some seniors to the Villages Hospital

My husband and I went up to my daughter's house in Kentucky two weeks before Christmas. We drove back on Saturday and I came down with a sore throat, hacking cough, no energy, etc, but no throwing up, on Monday. My husband got it two days later and we were both sick for a week. We are just now back to feeling like ourselves. We sat in front of the TV over Christmas. So sorry you are so sick. Hope you feel better really soon. Happy Girl.

Thank you for your kind words. My friend's husband was rushed into TV hospital last night at 3am, put through every test known to man, just got home with a diagnosis of - you guessed it - the flu! She said the hospital is out of beds and overloaded with sick people, supposedly they are ambulancing them out to surrounding hospitals.....................

But, you know, there are a lot worse things happening in this world than us having the flu. At least we know we will get over this.

No excuses here. Stayed home in So. Fl. Haven't had a cold since we moved down here 7 years ago. On Friday night came down with a whopper. Stayed in bed Sat - Mon. Today starting to feel a little better. Good ole dayquil and nyquil.

Did not go north, but have been coughing and sneezing , since christmas eve. Constant cough, etc...went to urgent care, and there was a lot of the same coughing there. I'm on anti biotic, and getting better...it"s new year's day and i still have it...something going around, and seems to be very contagious.

Yup, same here (all sick). Seeming to become a family 'tradition'.
