Mine hasn't been too bad. I'd been feeling a bit funny for a couple of days, just tired really and had been having early nights, then fainted in the library last week! Ironically I'd actually been feeling better that morning and had been climbing wobbly 18th century ladders and all sorts of similar things. Then I passed out at the end of the morning, just like some 18th century heroine! Once I'd picked myself up off the ancient carpet I got hold of the OH who came charging straight over to the library, announced that I felt hot and suggested that he took me home & I try and get a doctor's appointment. Which he did; he then had to hang around all afternoon whilst I slept, as I didn't manage to get a doctor's appointment until after 5pm! Of course, this was happening at exactly the same time as the Pandemic Flu Information thingy was going live and then immediately crashing, which meant we couldn't use that to check my symptoms.
Anyway, I've been doing lots of sleeping. It hasn't been as bad as "normal" flu, and it's been a massive help having the OH around as it would have been grim being like this on my own in a flat in Slough! Fortunately also the doc wouldn't prescribe Tamiflu as I'd already taken a course of it six weeks ago when there was an outbreak at work and the Health Protection Agency was still attempting to contain it. As I suspected six weeks ago, taking Tamiflu is MUCH worse than having swine flu.
Monkey, on the other hand, has really suffered. Presumably man-swine-flu is worse than swine flu, and therefore monkey-man-swine flu has got to be Really Serious? He has spent the time lolling around, complaining he feels cold and stealing my dressing gown to wrap round himself. Oh, and I found him throwing up down the side of the sofa, but I think the OH may have had something to do with that.
I'm definitely on the mend now. I finished off another WIP, which I'll post about soon. Then I was going to get started on my next project, Narvik, from Rowan 42 (after buying the yarn at Get Knitted when I did the crochet workshop last year), realised that 7mm needles are the one size I don't possess, trotted off to find some on the Celticove website, discovered the clearance section and ended up buying 15 balls of Mirasol Sulka in sage as well. So much for the yarn diet, but then I think I need cheering up after the swine flu, don't I? And it's Fair Trade yarn, so that's even better, surely?

Monkey really doesn't look well. Poor love, I hope he's feeling better soon. Did you buy any curative yarn for him too?
Glad you're on the mend. And v glad you didn't get subjected to a second course of Tamiflu - I did wonder.
Poor Monkey. Poor you! But I'm glad it wasn't too bad. Good old OH, looking after you - what a star!!
Glad you are feeling better! Poor Monkey with his man-swine-flu though! I think the yarn purchase was the perfect pick-me-up :-)
Glad to hear you are on the mend. I'm sure more yarn will make the recovery even speedier :-)
Good to hear that you waited til you had come down from the ladder before you fainted. All sounds rather scary.
Hope you feel back to normal now. the yarn sounded the best idea.
Poor you (and poor monkey). Glad you're on the mend now. In a way it's good that at least you've had it now, though, and it wasn't too bad. Swine flu has made it to the village next to ours, so we'll likely be next...
Glad you're feeling better now and that you didn't faint whilst you were up a ladder! You definitely deserve the yarn and shouldn't feel any pangs of guilt whatsoever.
Glad you're feeling better now, your OH sounds wonderful looking after you so well. You definitely deserve your yarn purchase - a great tonic :)
