Just got finished with two days of the stomach flu that's been going around. Butt on the crapper and head in a trash can. Now THAT"S multitasking.:thumbsup:
Stomach flu is a tough bug.
Be sure to keep you electrolytes up.

Calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium and chloride are the most common electrolytes.

Milk,yogurt, coconut water, oranges,bananas.

Pedialyte for Adults is easy to take and covers everything you need.
 
I’d like to be more supportive but my hands are full with a lady who is similarly sick. She is so pathetic when she’s sick. :(
Hey, I'm the biggest baby! Nobody is more pathetic than me. I fold like an old tent.:help:

Cut your wife some slack and take what little support you're giving me and give her a few kind words.:meh:

Thanks everyone for your support, except BP.:facepalm:

Yup. fluids fluids fluids. Had the same thing a couple of years ago and passed out from dehydration in my kitchen. Hit the counter going down and busted my two front teeth and split my chin open. Loss of a days work wasn't so bad. Getting the teeth repaired and the chin stitched up was around $800. (My cost after insurance.) Fluids would have been a lot cheaper.

My sympathies go out to everyone who's had or has the flu. My poor wife got hit with the flu and a UTI at the same time. She taking Tamiflu and antibiotics on doctors orders. I got the stronger flu vaccine for seniors this year and so far I haven't been hit with it.
