Oh, Brett, I'm so sorry! My sweetie here has been down & out w/ the flu for the past 2 weeks; it's a tough one! I was w/ him when he came down w/ it, but I had had a flu shot & managed to avoid getting it. Since then, I haven't seen him, but we've been in touch by phone every day. It stinks to live alone. Rick had days of fever & chills, lots of ache & general weakness, & still has no taste for food. Nasty cough, too. I've had flu twice & it ain't no fun. Keep an eye on your symptoms & contact the doctor as needed. This article seemed to contain some pretty good info:

I hope you will feel better soon. If you have what Rick has had, though, you'll need to pace yourself. If you try to get back on normal schedule too soon, you may very well relapse. Be kind to yourself & keep in touch w/ us!

love & sympathy,

Barbara
