And there was me thinking that by having the flu injection it would automatically stop you from getting the flu. Wrong! As the last couple of days i seem to have come down with the flu. Every symptom points to the flu and boy do i feel bad. If it has stopped the worst of the flu then i dread to think what i could be like. The last couple of days i haven't been able to do anything as i just don't have the strength and feel so ill. I feel sick all the time, so bad i don’t want to eat anything and have no appetite what so ever. All i can smell and taste is this funky flu smell and taste that i always seem to get when i have the flu. Also the amount of sweat pouring off me is unbelievable and i have to force myself to drink water as i am dehydrating so fast, My temperature is through the roof, my muscles ache all over and hurt when i move. My head starts to throb and feels like it is about to explode when i sit up and move about. All sounds seem to be muffled and my throat feels like i have been trying to eat glass or barbed wire it is so sore.
Yesterday i ran out of cold and flu medication and had to ring my mother to grab me some as there was just no way on this earth i would have been able to make it to the supermarket. I wouldn’t have made it pat the corner of my street i feel so weak and ill. All i have been able to do is lay in my bad wrapped up and sleep as much as i possibly can. It is difficult when your head is bad and it keeps threatening top set off the beast and give you a massive attack. Its the last thing you want when you are feeling so ill and weak. I have been lucky as i haven’t had that many attacks while i have been ill. I think the body is feeling sorry for me and must think i am going through enough with out the help from the Beast.
I am lucky in one respect as i had to wait for a parcel anyway so i wouldn’t have been able to go out and do any shopping just in case i missed the parcel. It’s my Christmas present to myself, i decided to treat myself to my new Carp Rod holdall that holds 3 rods made up ready to fish and 3 spare rods plus it has pockets for fishing umbrellas and bank sticks and special pouches for your bite alarms. I have also bought myself a new set of alarms with receiver so you don;t have to have your alarms turned up so loud and annoy other fishermen.
I thought after doing my flat and working hard for 2 weeks to get it all finished i deserved a treat and as i would be doing a lot of fishing over the next few years i would get a few items that i needed or wanted to make my fishing a little more comfortable. In the new year i will be getting new fishing bed-chairs for when we do over night fishing and camping out over the weekend. I am hoping that my parcel arrives today as it was due any day now. I can’t wait i am so excited its just a shame i have no strength to show it. Lets hope i shift this flu/cold soon and get back to my normal self, if there is such a thing anymore.
