Whether you noticed it or not 
I've been offline several days in a row - until now, that is.
Yep, managed to attract 'the real stuff' H1N1 and, although I'm now back at w*rk (day 1) I still feel rather wiped out, so will try to leave early.
warning
See, it wasn't just the high temperature several days in a row, the sore throat, soar head, soar back and soar muscles. After a couple of days nausea and diarrhoea were added to the mix, and that's what really left me completely exhausted - for three days, I existed solely on water and tea, because I couldn't keep anything else down.
Just simply trying to half sit/half lie on my sofa watching TV was too exhausting - but with all the aches going in various parts of my body I had trouble getting enough sleep. Ho hum.
I even had fever hallucinations, something I haven't had since I was a little kid. I had to check that my front door was indeed locked, because I had seen as well as heard strangers walking around in my flat. Scary but kind of 
.
Am feeling a lot better now, but still need to regain some strength.

Don't you go rushing back before you are fully fit

Sorry to hear that, Titania. Hope you feel a lot fitter soon. 
Just think of all those antibodies you now have swimming around your bloodstream - you should be invincible!

That all sounds perfectly dreadful.
You must keep your strength up...

You are a survivor! 
Yet another unhealthy way of dieting, I'd say. Treat yourself with something

Usch! What a rough week! Be gentle on yourself now, and regain your strength before doing too many things again.

I wondered where you were. It sounds like quite an ordeal. I'm glad the worst of it is over. You're going to be weak for several days longer, so do as little as you can get away with. Lots of fluids.

I'd started wondering where you were too. You won't mind if I you wearing a facemask?
Sorry it was so unpleasant - but glad you're now feeling better.

...and . Icecream is mandatory when recovering. And grapes...and...
Good to hear you're better. The real thing, eh? Not many get that; not a very good consolation, but there you go.
And I'm going to bed after sleeping through Lynley. I wish his girl friend will be written out. She is so annoying.
Rant - me, where?
