My Husband Has the Flu!

@sallypup - Thank you! I'm just about to go to bed for the night, but thought I would check MyLot one last time.

@GardenGerty - Yes, it does. I was exhausted by the time I got home from going to the grocery store. I'm going to bed, now.

@DeborahDiane Other than vitamin C, I take green tea which has high anti-oxidant, and I also drink lemon infused water. If lemons were not that pricey here I would substitute that for plain water. And when I wake up in the morning before brushing my teeth and drinking anything, I take a teaspoon of natural honey.

@toniganzon - I also drink green tea and put lemons in my water. I also use a little natural honey, in addition to the Vitamin C which I take. That is probably why I got a much milder case of the flu than my husband did.

I take Vitamin C, too, but I think I need to increase the dose!

@jstory07 - He has been in bad shape since Monday, but is finally starting to feel a little better. I have felt sorry for him. I ended up getting a mild case of the flu, but nothing like what he had. I'm almost over it, now.

@DeborahDiane I am glad he is starting to feel better, another couple of days and he should be fine.

@LadyDuck - I ended up getting a touch of the flu, but recovered very quickly. I still have a bit of a cough, but that's all. My husband has been sick for 5 days, but is finally starting to get better.

@LadyDuck - Yes, every day he feels better. I hope he is back to normal is a couple of days.

@DeborahDiane Glad you're both better.

@1creekgirl - Thanks so much!

@1creekgirl - I ended up getting the flu, but recovered within two days. My husband has been sick for five days. I was very worried about him, but he is finally starting to get better.

@youless - I am feeling much better now, although my husband is still sick. It's been a bad year for the flu!

@DeborahDiane I hope your husband will recover soon. All the best!

@youless - He's starting to feel better. At least he can eat a little, now. Thanks!

@DeborahDiane Hey, glad you are feeling a lot better now and have a good evening ahead.

@lovinangelsinstead21 - Thank you so much! I am almost back to normal. My husband is getting better, but much more slowly.

Thank you! I'm feeling so much better now. I'm sure I'll be back to normal in another couple of days.

Yes, we all need to stay as healthy as we can. I'm going to bed soon!

@DeborahDiane and take your vitamins.

@louievill - Yes, I have been taking my vitamins. I think they are very important!

My husband is still sick but, after 5 days, he is starting to feel a little better. He still has a bad cough, though.

@DeborahDiane

@nanette64 - Thanks. I got a touch of the flu, but am almost over it. My husband has been sick since Monday, but is gradually starting to feel a little better.

@just4him - I'm not completely over it, yet, but I do feel better ... thank goodness! My husband is still pretty sick.

@just4him - I hope he is much better by tomorrow.

@DeborahDiane I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope he is too soon.

That cough can be pretty awful. I'm glad you are feeling better, too.

@Hannihar - We are doing OK. I hope you are well, too. We recovered from the flu and our immediate health is OK. However, my husband has chronic kidney disease and he was also recently diagnosed with a type of blood cancer called "MDS with chromosomal dysplasia." Either disease could kill him in the next five years, if a heart attack or other health problem doesn't end his life sooner. However, we get along well and have fun together, although he does get tired easily. My friend who went to Israel gets home this weekend! I'm looking forward to hearing all about her trip. We will probably go out for coffee one day next week. Also, my other friend who has the Orthodox granddaughter told me that her granddaughter found a job with Jewish Social Services in Los Angeles. She recently rented an apartment and plans to stay here, near her family. She enjoyed her experiences in Israel and New York, but is happy to be near family again, now. They will be celebrating Hanukah together next week.

@Hannihar - I wish you and Sophie a very happy Hannuka. I will let you know what my friend has to say after we get together sometime next week.

@DeborahDiane I can understand the granddaughter's decision. I am happy she found a job. I am so sorry to hear about your husband's health problems. I have some health issues right now and will not know the answer to how I am until January sometime when I will see my doctor with the results of what I have to do in January. I am also excited to hear what your friend thought of Israel and where she went and if she would come back again. I am glad you recovered from the flu and that you get along well. I can imagine how tired your husband must get. Take care and please let me know what your friend says. Thank you for bringing me up-to-date on the Orthodox granddaughter. My Sophie and I will also be celebrating Hannuka starting next Sunday night too. I got her some things I know she will like and I will give her treats. She cannot eat the jelly donuts so in honor of the holiday she will get treats with her dry food. These are cat treats.

@JamesHxstatic - Unfortunately, I ended up getting a touch of the flu, too, but felt better after two days. My husband has been sick for five days, but is finally starting to feel a little better. I have been pretty worried about him all week. With all his other health problems, the flu was the last thing he needed!
