The flu sucks.
I'm over the majority of the really hideous symptoms, except my sinuses are still driving me crazy, and I'm coughing like Jose Ferrer in Lawrence of Arabia.
And while I recognize the necessity of rationing out flu shots to those in the "high risk" category, I can now say I fimrly disagree with it. Sure, babies need to be protected, but the elderly? What about us wage earners? We're the ones who keep this economy going, dammit. If Bush was serious about wanting to fix Social Security, he'd have withheld the vaccine from retired people. That probably would've freed up some surplus money, right?
Sorry. Two weeks of excessive phlegm production makes one a mite cranky.
I am so there with you, man. I was sick for a month. One flipping MONTH, I say! Plus it was over Christmas, and that just isn't right. A person should only be sick when missing crappy stuff, not fun stuff. That should be in the rules somewhere.

Taking that literally, I'd say that you and I (and most people reading this blog) would be in serious trouble.
Here's hoping you'll live long enough to start your very own Personal Faith-Based Retirement Security Fund.
One word - moonshine. You can add some honey and lemon to it if you want.
The flu this year has made me babyphobic. I can't deal with being in any kind of proximity to rugrats.
Doesn't help you much now, but I think you qualified to get a flu shot under even the most restrictive rationing b/c you are a parent of a small child.
Of course, we childless folk can just get the flu and croak for all they care.
