Influenza Part One

August 7th 2007 01:39
I have the flu. Perhaps its poetic justice for a joke I made last week about influenza. Perhaps I just caught it from someone. I have got to stop making out with homeless people.

And I know it’s not just a cold. People say they have the flu when they just have a really bad cold. These people are sooks. I’ve had the awful headaches, the aches and pains, the fever, the blocked sinuses. Everything. I knew it was the flu from the moment I woke up on Sunday. Usually when I wake up, I think something along the lines of ‘Hello world!’ On Sunday I woke up and thought, ‘Ow, my everything hurts.’


Thus triggering what will be a series of blog entries that may or may not last longer than two days. It really depends if I have any other ideas on the topic. Or even better, remember the second idea I had on the topic. Especially since I only thought of it about five minutes ago.

You can get flu shots now. These shots will immunise you against whatever flu virus is circulating. I didn’t get any this year. Why, I hear you ask? Because I didn’t know I would get the flu, moron. Had I known, I probably would have. But I didn’t get flu shots last year, and I didn’t get the flu. Logically, that precedent was enough for me.

There’s no immunisation for bird flu, as far as I know. If a chicken gets bird flu, they take out a rifle and kill it. Bird flu shots are much less agreeable.

I have to try and remember what this other idea about the flu was. My brain isn’t working properly. Damn this frickin’ disease.

Hi Nick, Miriam here. Thought I'd give you a comment because comments are exciting!

I hate the flu. The real flu not the cold flu that everyone says is the flu but it's not.

I had the flu jab one year. And then I got pneumonia. Coincidence? I don't know but it sucked because it was during my birthday.

Speaking of birthday I see you're coming to mine. Yay!! Now all I need is for Kevin Rudd to accept my facebook invitation and I'll be set!

Hope you get better soon!!
