Labor Day Blues...

[Monty]

I just completed the TVA Fire Academy last week, and when I got home, my defenses were down.

 

I had been home about 2 hours Friday, when the flu hit me hard. Everyone seems to think it was the H1N1, but not positive. I was shivering like crazy, and my temp kept trying to hang around 103 degrees F. I had a bad headache, swollen glands in my neck, sore throat, and overall weakness.

 

I didn't freak out. I drank LOTS of cold water, used ice packs, and took lots of Ibuprofen....and I waited it out. After the third time of sweating it out, the fever went away, and hasn't returned. I still have a bit of a sore throat and headache, but I think they will pass with time also.

 

The important thing is...I kept my butt at home, and didn't go out spreading it around.

 

What a way to spend my Labor Day weekend. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.gif

Not a fun way to spend the 3 day weekend. Glad the fever is broken though....

Glad to hear you're feeling better. Hate to have to do the swine thing with you, noit sure how that would turn out.

Thanks guys. I feel alot better today. I went to work, and had no problems, other than a slightly sore throat.

I know what you mean about Labor Day Blues with my breaker box in my house blowing up Sunday night and then stepping on a nail in a piece of plywood. Not a fun Labor Day.

So how's that progressing? Did ya get a new box yet? I would try those new breakers one at a time if I were you. Any clues as to which circuit caused it, or was it something in the box?

The electricians are installing a new box at this moment. They will probably have it in this afternoon at the rate they are going. But, it will probably be tomorrow before it can be inspected and the power lines to the house hooked back up and be turned on.

Nice way to spend a week's vacation. But at least the house did not burn down.
