It has been 19 days since we contracted the flu. I am and have been for a week at 95% during the day and 90% in the evening...The wife on the other hand has been getting worse and worse. I took her to the doctor yesterday and they said that if she does not show improvement in the next two days, she has go to the hospital.
Main reason I am telling you all this, is to warn you of the seriousness of this strain of flu, and suggest that you all wash your hands often to keep the germs at bay. You do not want you or your love ones getting this.

Max, I wouldn't wait another day or two, I would take her now.

Not to scare you, but a gentleman in his 50's here locally just passed away due to complications related to this flu strain going around.

DO NOT WAIT, UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE!!!

Hope you guys get better soon! I have never adjusted my life for a sickness until this year. In January I was taken out of commision by the flu. For 5 days there was nothing I could do to eliminate a fever of 102+. So, whatever is going around this year is brutal.

Thanks guys;

She is on four different medications now. We go back to the doctor tomorrow to see if she is getting better. If she is not, she goes to the hospital. She is 65, and for the very young and the very old, it is more difficult for the immune system to fight off viruses.

Of course, you never heard it from me that I called my young wife old.:D

X2! 19 days isn't normal for ANY strain of the flu, and as long as she's sick you'll never get better, and visa-versa. Get better mr. + mrs. maxtor.

X3 Max.. Get her to the Doc ! Like in Bama's area.. A 40 year old lady 'round here, laps into a Coma from Flu related issues. And while Mrs. Max is there.. Mr. Max needs some Doctor'n TOO !!!!

Mrs TG is a night nursing supervisor at the local state run veterans home.

Since this latest strain of flu hit, they have lost 10 elderly veterans who succumed to the flu. That is about 5% of the total number of residents living there. :eek::eek: So yes, this latest strain of flu is nothing to take any chances with.
