SICK!!!!!

JD Seller · Jan 11, 2016

I woke up this morning with cold chills and a fever. Chores SUCKED!!!! Took me twice as long to do them. I am house bound the rest of the day. I would guess a flu bug. I bet the evening stroll across the frozen pasture facing into the wind did not help either. LOL I just do not feel like doing much of anything. My son is giving me heck about doing the morning chores. He says I should have called him to do them. Well I am not dead yet so I did what needed to be done. LOL

Lots of crap going around. One of my friends toddlers had a 103 temp a couple days ago. Doc says a viral thing. On the mend now. Hope we don't get that here.

Like I always say, there is nothing worse than a "sickening" person

Weren't you saying something about doing your own cooking?????????????? Coincidence????????

Seriously JD, take care of yourself. The last thing you need is pneumonia!

Don that is what I have to watch for. I had Farmer's lung in the 1980s. So my lungs have some damage, not much but I do get bronchitis easy. I am coughing but little to no flem. As for the cooking. Las week would be the worry as I eat the left overs form before we left. Some of them had some age but still seemed good.

Bad food doesn't wait a week to "get you" more like hours. Hate to say it but your exposure to your grandchildren, who are exposed to all the other kids at school seems the likely avenue. Working out in the cold air just helps it along. Get well soon, don't wait too long to get medical attention. gobble

You said you had farmers lung,I have black lung,eat to much coal dust.About 35 years worth, can tell its getting worse.The pulmonary Drs,said I have about 25% lung capacity,can't walk but about 50' and have to stop.

Take care of yourself and to a hospital if it gets worse. I had pneumonia towards the end of September and still not completely over it. I used to recover quite fast from pneumonia, but doc said that it could take me 6 months to recover because of my age. Let the sons do the chores; you have more important things to do: rest and get well.

Chicken soup? Be careful JD, don't get tough and heroic and this shall pass. Best of luck. IaLeo

rfridy76: I am lucky in that I have 80-85 % of my lung capacity, BUT I have to watch dust. The bronchi in my lungs do not expel dust correctly. Soybean dust and hog dust are the ones that really get me. I was furrowing inside a non vented barn 30 years ago and then moved a bunch of dusty grain all in the same week. I started to cough up blood and passed out. I was in the hospital for a week while they cleaned my lungs out. Since then I have to use dust masks when out in those dusts and even in a good combine cab I need to keep my throat wet with hard candy or chewing gum.

So I can related but not really to your problem. I was lucky in that I did not do more damage.

I had respiratory flu two years in a row, back in the 1990s. Missed a week of work each time, thought I was gonna die. Each time someone in my dept. at work came in sick and gave it to everybody. Every since I have gotten a flu shot and haven't had it since. But I'm retired and not exposed as much too.
