Been pretty quiet after New York as having a star wars battle with the flu...Or maybe i just need to sleep...anyway I am reading the post and enjoying my hot tea under the covers...
One word GINGER.
Best wishes for your recovery, Mike. I have suffered with the flu in the past and know the misery. I get flu shots every year now, and it has spared me the worst - I've had no more than a cold in five or six years since I started getting them, even though my staff has been laid low with nasty influenzas. Next fall, consider getting one.
