According to the CDC I have the flu, not a cold.  Good to know.

I hate being sick.  I'm sure nobody enjoys it but I can't imagine living my life feeling sick.  I suppose it's like anything, you get used to it because what is the alternative?

My young niece was diagnosed not long ago with celiac disease.  She is only twenty-two and is working on her masters degree in OT.  In her short life she's had four major surgeries already.  She and I were talking about this one night when we went out for supper and we both agreed, it's not like you have a choice.  You just keep going.

I am feeling better this morning, a little.  Yesterday I felt like death in the morning.  I still don't feel great but death doesn't seem so imminent:)
