swine flu?

I am super sick. I went to the emergency room yesterday night. I have a fever, body aches, head ache, chills, and my throat hurts. It all started the night of the 27th with a sore throat...the following morning I was done for. I almost had Robert leave his job to come home and take care of me. He did stay home today. It's a good thing because I can't even pick up Juliana.

My sister in law took me to the ER last night. They asked me all kinds of questions, one being do you think you were exposed. My aunt just got back from vacation in Mexico, but she seemed in good health when I saw her on Friday. They made us wear masks and closed the door to the room. I was a little concerned when all that happened. In order for them to check for flu they stick this very thin q-tip looking thing way up your nose. That was a very ugly feeling. I thought the nurse was gonna touch my brain. They sent it to the lab and everything cleared OK. I don't even have the regular flu, much less the swine flu. I have a viral syndrome, whatever that means. They sent me home with instructions to take Tylenol and drink lots of fluids. Man, am I in pain. Hopefully, I don't pass this on to the rest of my family.
