Guess Who Has The Flu

As I have mentioned for several days my son and his wife have been at home sick. I’ve asked him every day to get tested for covid and he’s kept assuring me they have the flu and they were feeling a little better every day. But I have continued to worry myself and my son about them having covid. Today when I called to see how they were . He told me he had gone to be tested for covid and he was negative. What a feeling of relief, They still are recovering from the flu but they will most likely be well in a few days and I am finally able to take a deep breath and unwind.

@JamesHxstatic Flu isn’t the best thing to have but it’s not as bad as covid.

I love your photo. It would be so restful to walk there. I'm glad that your son and his wife do not have Covid.

Thank you. I was so glad he tested and was negative. The picture is by the creek trail during the summer while the trees are fresh and green.

Thank goodness it’s not covid, but the flu is no walk in the park either. Hubs and I are getting tested Tuesday just to be safe for our 11 year old grandson on Thanksgiving. He’s only had one shot so far.

@RubyHawk That’s what worries us all. Better to play it safe and protect people. We had our boosters a few weeks ago and a week later our flu shots.

Testing is a good idea. Some people have Covid without symptoms.

@RubyHawk I am glad he went to get tested and that he tested negative and he does have the flu and not the virus. I bet he was relieved too and glad you are relieved too. I hope they will be fine soon.

Mom's care and concern is inexpressible, good your son got himself tested and gave you a relief that atleast it's not covid. Miss my mom remember here last words when she was on the hospital bed she said I am bothered about you, I had lost my job back then. Your son's lucky he has his Mom

I’m so sorry your mother passed away. One of my sons passed away last year. It’s heartbreak to lose a loved one.

The flu is bad enough but covid is worse. I reminded my son that flu can turn into pneumonia.

I am glad he got tested. I'd be afraid if I had the flu, I would think it will be covid.

So would I. So many have covid, it’s more common than flu at this time.

I had the flu two or three years ago. I always get my flu shot. But sometimes you get it anyway.

That is very good that they don't have Covid. Were they supposed to be going somewhere for Christmas that they will have to cancel, or were they staying home anyway?
