Everyone is sick here.

Went to my daughter's house for dinner Sunday. By the time I left, my son in law was coughing. He's never sick, the super healthy type. I went home, my son wasn't well. Long story, but we had to go to the ER for some meds, and Monday wasn't the best day. I was just exhausted, didn't feel very well, either. Monday afternoon, son thought he felt better, but Monday night, didn't feel well all over again. I was still dragging. Tuesday, he had appointments and had to pick up meds and such. I drove him so we could both go to Costco afterwards, as I needed some things and so did he. After Costco, we went home, he said he was starting to feel bad. I had dinner in the crock-pot, so we ate, and he went to his apartment (it's only about 8 blocks away). Then he was sick all over again, got a fever, aches, and so forth. We've both taken 2 Covid tests, it's not that. Today I just dragged and so did he. I have a terrible cough, headache, eyes won't stop watering, and I'm still tired. He has the same symptoms, no cough. He is at his place, and I am home at mine. My daughter and her husband are sick still and have high fevers. No Covid there, either. I am not good at being sick. I want to be up and doing something. Guess I am going to have to wait. It's been about 5 years since I have had a cold, and even longer since I've had the flu of any kind. Bah, humbug. Sicky, sicky, go away.

I am so sorry, this can be a common flu, that can also be pretty bad. Now people always think to Covid, but flu is also contagious.

@MarieCoyle At least you know that it's not Covid, with the weird year we had, many are now sick with flu.

Thank you, Anna. We have all tested several days in a row and all were negative, for that I am very thankful.

I hope you and your family get better quickly. It does sound like you all have caught some type of flu, though. Good luck!

@MarieCoyle You're very welcome. If you lived close to me, I'd make you some chicken noodle soup and bring over and leave it on your front porch.

@DaddyEvil Bless your heart, I had some I made in the freezer, ready to heat and add noodles. I made it a few weeks ago. So it's thawing out and will have it tomorrow. It tastes so good, and is soothing when we are sick. Thank you.

Sorry to hear that they're sick. I guess their immune system is weak.

I am sorry that everyone is sick, Wear masks, the mask will also protect against the cold virus and coughing spreads these viruses. Try to gargle salt water, but be sure to spit it out, this might help your throat.
