I can’t lay down because I start coughing and my sinus congestion gets worse. I’ve been putting my head down and sleeping at this computer desk for the last couple nights. I can only sleep like that for an hour or so. I’m terribly sleep deprived. It’s getting old. I miss my bed. I miss my husband. My husband is sicker than me but he won’t get out of the bed at all. I hate the flu.

Awww I’m sorry you have the flu Leaf.
Make sure to get plenty of rest and fluids.
Have you seen a doctor about it to get any medicine?

no dr but I think I will get my Hubby to one tomorrow, he’s not improving like I am. I broke my fever yesterday, he still got it. I’m worried he went into pneumonia. That flu can kill older people, he’s older than me by 13 years (he’s 63) and has COPD. Do you think I’m right to worry?

Well I’m not a professional/or doctor by any means. But in my opinion it sounds like you are within reason to worry about your husband’s health.

Yeah, definitely have your husband go to the doctor if he’s not feeling better tomorrow. I hope you both start feeling better soon!

I hope you and your husband get better soon @Leaf. And I think it’s important to have you husband see a doctor ASAP, you have every right to be concerned.

That’s awesome, I haven’t been sick in some time. I think I picked it up at the hospital my daughter just had her baby in. We had to go through the ER to get in and out of the hospital and I think we picked it up there. We didn’t wash our hands well enough I guess.

Thank you @eighteyedspy23 sometimes I worry over nothing but it’s good to know this is a real one to worry about. I keep asking him if he’ll go to ER but he keep refusing. Stubborn boob. I hope he turns the corner tomorrow.

Thank you for checking sweetie. Well he didn’t make it all the way through the night before I had to rush him to the ER. He just was so struggling to get a breathe. They said he had bronchitis but because he has COPD they basically treat him for pneumonia to be safe. So he’s on some heavy duty antibiotics and some prednisone for inflammation. He’s still in bed but I hope he turns the corner after tonight. I just got him up for a little vegetable soup, the first thing he’s had to eat in 2 days.
I’m slowly getting better, for some reason the sickness is making me absent minded, maybe it’s the sleep deprivation.
How are you tonight?

Awww. I’m so sorry to hear this.
Good on you though for taking your husband to the ER!
I am well, thank you for asking. I plan on taking my meds a little early tonight.
I only had about 3 cups of coffee today. I’m trying to cut down on the caffeine haha.
Take care,
