Influenza

So, I learned something new this week. The difference between the flu (aka stomach flu) and influenza is this: the FLU, is more commonly known as the stomach flu. Influenza is more of a respiratory thing. Well, after learning about the difference, I was privileged to come down with influenza A. It started at work on Friday afternoon and is still hanging on today. I didn't make it to church today, mostly because I am not completely over it. I didn't want to have a relapse or spread it to the sweet older folks at church. I've always thought I had a strong immune system, but this is one BAD BUG! It's pretty prevalent in this area as well as pneumonia, bronchitis, and strep throat.

Hope none of you get this lovely bug....believe me, it's annoying! :)

Here's a site that speaks of the symptoms, too. http://www.flufacts.com/about/cold.aspx
