But you did get close to keeping your goal correct?
What did you give away that you shouldn't have?
Was it something that you wanted to keep for you?

have you gotten it?

No I haven't gotten it (yet & hopefully won't).
I'm about sure he caught it Monday when he went in for his re-check. He said there was a guy in there coughing & wouldn't cover his mouth & wouldn't take one of the mask.
That to me was lazy on the guys part. The mask are in a box right beside the sign-in sheet.
If he did catch in Monday & it was full blown flu by Wednesday & the only symptoms I have had are body aches & a sore throat, I think I am good. I think mine is more from the crazy weather. We have gone from 4 degrees on Tuesday to rainy & 65 degrees yesterday. Cold weather makes my shoulders hurt all the time.
The Tamiflu does seem to help. I think getting it when I did probably kept me from getting it (knock on wood). The tamaflu was a little expensive I thought even with insurance, it was over $3 a pill. Mom was questioning me about my insurance when they picked up the prescription for me.

I did the cool cloths on him.
I think he was a little delirious. He talked a lot, but not to me & doesn't remember anything he said.
At one point he set up & cut the light off & laid back down. I was in the middle of reading something at the time. He said I told him to cut the light off.
He has been fighting the fever. At least twice that night he ended up with the cold sweats & had to change clothes. Sort of bad when it is freezing outside & to see him soaked with sweat.
I have to admit I was really worried. I hate when he gets sick.

My nurse friend said not to do that, she said it would be better to use a cool cloth to wipe him down.

Sadly, not really. :[
I'm going between having rather irritating sinus pressure to a sore throat, a cough that hurts my throats and my lungs, and no voice. :[

I have found that using spearmint candy has been helping mine.
It helps open my nose up & makes breathing a little easier.
I also use the sugar free honey & lemon cough drops.
