Dreaded Bug
Posted by skinner_jennifer on Thu, 09 Nov 2023
Hi everyone,
this is just a quick message to let you know I'm sorry I've not been around, I'm so missing all your wonderful poetry and stories.
Laid up with a really bad dose of the flu and feeling awful. Can't wait to get back to normal.

Hi Paul,
Hi Paul,
thank you for your get well wishes. I'm feeling a little better today, but still have such a bad head, throat and ache all over. I'm wondering if maybe it covid, as it's been going on for so long.
Any way it was lovely to hear from you.
Jenny.
Sorry, Jenny, I think it was
Sorry, Jenny, I think it was yesterday I realised you hadn't been around, and wondering if you are ill. I expect you've turned the corner now, but still have to be patient and wait for it to be vanquished. Rhiannon
I hope you're right about
I hope you're right about turning a corner, feeling so rundown at the moment and have no energy, but it was so lovely to read your words. Hopefully the aching and headaches will soon disappear.
Many thanks.

You gave me a smile insert. I too hope this flipping bug buggers off soon too. I'm getting sick of not feeling well. My partners had it too, so we've both been laid up.
Thank you for your kind thoughts.

So sorry to hear you've been
So sorry to hear you've been unwell, Jenny. Let's hope that by the time you read this, you have recovered enough to resume writing your delightful poetry. Have you taken advantage of the flu vaccine?
Best wishes, Luigi xx
Hi Luigi,
Hi Luigi,
yes, both me and my partner had our flu and covid jabs back at the beginning of September, which is why I'm surprised we're suffering so bad, but I suppose there are many different new bugs going around.
I'm taking good care of myself and drinking plenty of water and vitiman C. It's the aches and headaches that get me, also the coughing, I have to sleep sitting up, as soon as I lay down it starts again, so I dread night time.
Thank you for your concern and well wishes.
Jenny. xx
I hope you're up and about
I hope you're up and about again soon dear Jenny. The ABC Club's just not the same without you.

Hi Turlough,
Hi Turlough,
you know I have so many people to catch up with, it's going to take ages to read everything, and I'm missing you all.
I'm just so tired all the time and my mind is so fuzzy I can't concentrate.
It's lovely to know there are people out there thinking of me.
Thank you for your kind words Turlough.
Jenny.
Hi Jenny, so sorry you are
Hi Jenny, so sorry you are not well! I wonder if it might be covid - we have just all had it, my son got it worse than the first time and had to go on a drip in the hospital. He is still incredibly tired and just being out of bed a few hours wears him out! So, PLEASE TAKE GREAT CARE OF YOURSELF! Don't rush to do stuff if you don't feel like it? Perhaps there is a new variant which is a bit fiercer than recent ones. I do hope you and your partner are all better soon!
Just read your comment Di.
Just read your comment Di. That's awful about your son being in hospital on a drip. I'm so sorry to hear you've all been down with a dreaded bug. We've been feeling a lot better today, infact me and my partner went out for the first time in over two weeks, thankfully we managed to avoid the showers. I'm still a bit snotty and the coughing is still getting to me, but the headaches have gone and I'm managing to have naps in the afternoon.
I hope your son doesn't miss out on too much of his young life, I think it hits teenagers worse, because your son must be missing his day to day living.
I very much appreciate your concern and thank you for taking the time to let me know.
I think we must all take care of ourselves in these times of great stress. I think you're right about there being a new variant, I wonder how much worse I could have been, had I not had the flu and covid jabs, it's such a big worry.
Lets hope that now we've had this bug, we've built up a resistance and we can relax a bit.
You and your family take care and stay well.
Jenny.
That's great you are both
That's great you are both feeling better! Thankyou for letting me know :0) And for understanding immediately how the tiredness is impacting my son - he is getting very low, not being able to go out with his friends, even getting tired talking to them online. Like you say though, hopefully you, and he, wull be immune for awhile now! I am glad you will be well enough to see autumn's colours :0)
Give your son a big hug from
Give your son a big hug from me and tell him to stay positive. I'm sure good health is just around the corner.
Wishing you all well.
Jenny.
