Flu
I got it.
And I even got a shot this year.
My neck of the woods is getting creamed this year. How's it out yonder?
What's your take on the vaccinations?

Martin and I got flu in November, and were both incapacitated for about four days, but fortunately not overlapping.
I got it first, which unfortunately coincided with a vacation to Dorset. Martin got it the day after we returned - which was (in a way) lucky, because if he hadn't been able to drive us home it would have caused many problems! (I haven't got a UK licence yet.)

I think I'm over mine... think. I'm exhausted.
Its had me for about 2 weeks this time. Ruined my birthday! (almost )
I was down during Xmas and New Years too.
I hope I've got it out of my system. Really sucks.
Cran I haven't been able to take any time off either.
Prolly why it drags on so long for me.
I'm keeping Day-Quil in bid'ness.

Everyone in my family has had it. I managed to only miss one day of work but it stayed with me about two weeks. Some of us whipped it quicker, some took a bit longer. Not fun.

So far we've been lucky. We did get the shots (always do), but as folks have pointed out, they don't always provide 100% protection. I haven't been sick at all this year aside from a couple of tummy bugs, and a cold I came down with this week (knock on wood!).
Last time I had the flu, it landed me in a hospital emergency room, coughing blood and sucking on the good ol' Albuterol bong. Nasty business!
Stay well out there, folks!

Well, this explains it. I guess I fell into the unlucky 60% range....
