The %$@#* Flu

Well I went and got myself a case of seasonal flu from a coworker. She got so sick she had to quit. I took one day off to get past the contagious phase and went back at it. I'm blessed that it wasn't 2010 H1N1 but it was a potent seasonal strain. I'm asymptomatic now except my lungs still have remnents of the excess phlegm that made me feel like I was drowning. I am coughing with ferocity rid myself of the yuckum. I was wondering what it would be like to deal with a fierce strain of the flu in the bush. Having it at home with OTC meds and herbal remedies at hand was pretty rough. I think it would have been totally hellish under field conditions. What do you think?

Oh yeah. :innocent: You mean like taking your sons and nephews skiing in Vermont and enjoying a real bad case of the flu from the top of the mountain?

I think you are right HA, but chances of contracting it if you are having no, or limited human interation are probably diminished.

Congrats on finding work.

Worst experience I've ever had outdoors. :sneaky2:

That's probably what the guy skiing behind you was saying too.

Good news about the job, bad news about the flu! Hope you're feeling better.:)

It's temp work,5 weeks, leads to another temp that may be 4 months. I'm also reapplying for a manager job I had last Summer. The District Guy that fired me got fired himself. So I asked his replacement if I was eligible for rehire considering the bogus reason I got fired. If I get the managerial position I'll work both that and the temp job, until the temp job evaporates. Save up some cash against the future.

Good deal. We're all working temp jobs when you think about it.

Congrats!!! on the job. It takes about a week for the flu to manifest symptoms. So it's entirely possible you could resupply yourself, contract the flu and then find yourself in the bush in a bad way. You just do what you have to do I guess. Unless you contract some secondary illness such as pneumonia it shouldn't kill you. You'd probably be pretty danged miserable for a few days. The good news is if you treat it you'll be over it in seven days. If you don't do anything it will take a week.

We're all living temporary lives when you think about it.:innocent::innocent::innocent:

Have you ever done that Sourdough? Have you ever had the flu while out on a hunting party?

Sourdough? Yeah, last time he went out hunting, he was looking for the leader of a pack of wolves. :sneaky2:

Sourdough, you've gotta' be one of the most decent and honorable guys I've ever "met." :clap:

But THE RULES :sneaky2: say I can't give you anymore rep at this time.

I hit him...I mean repped him for ya.

Thanks! He just got a double from me. Gotta' "adjust" the playing field, that's all. :innocent: Kinda' like a courtroom.

I can't think of anything I've done for this forum or the folks that haunt it that would be worth such a gracious gift. I'm honored.

Hope you get well soon HA! Glad your here!
Well done D.O.C.!!

HA, Get well soon, congrats on the job, hope it continues. By the way, yes you deserve it.

It's possible the temp job evaporated today. I got what others take 2 8 hour days to do i n one 10 hour day. Went to the crew leader and was informed there are no more assignments in our area. A job that was supposed to last 5 weeks may end before 2 weeks are over.

I think your right Crash, Ive always been pretty much a hermit and I rarely get a cold! My oldest son was 3 years old before he ever had a cold! He got the 1st one 1 week after he started preschool!

Oh hey HA, sorry about the temp thing. Hope your feeling better!(flu) Congats on the DOC!

This flu was the first time I have be ill in 4 years. That last time I got it from a coworker as well. If I didn't have to deal with others I'd never get ill.

When will you know about the job.....?

Hope you feel better soon HA,and good luck on the job.

Few weeks back, Sat. afternoon I started feeling badddd. Went to bed, about 4 hours later I was up, one minute sweating, next minute cold as ice. Fever was up then down, I had the shakes then.........I did something that I've only done twice in 30 years. I ran to the bathroom and started to hurl, and hurl, and hurl.

Last time I hurled was about 3 years ago when I mistakenly grabbed a wasps next and got stung 5 times on my left hand. I went home, ate dinner and wham, it all came back up in the back yard.

Well anyway, Sunday was shot, Monday went to work and came home after and hour and a half, Tues. went to work for four hours, then came home. Wed. managed an 8 hour day just barely, Thurs. did do a ten, but it was hard, then Friday cut off early to go to the doctor because of shortness of breath. Doc had me scared as I had to get chest xrays..I felt like I was going to cough up a lung. Doc put me on steroids and cough meds.

Sunday I felt okay and then Monday my wife got it.


Last week my wife was talking to one of her friends and found out that she had the same thing and it was diagnosed as Swine flu.

Both kids did not get it.

I guess you can call me a pig now.


Hope you feel better.

I had to call-in sick too. The creeping crud I guess.

Frank first and now you, Reb. Must be one of them computer viruses. :innocent:

The job did in fact evaporate. Less than half the time promised. We that were working this phase are supposed to be on the top on the list for the next phase hiring.
