    Sent home for an early bath

    Well, been feeling REALLY rough since sunday morning, decided to still go onto client site Monday am and struggled through the day, Tuesday come and goes the same. But by Wednesday ( apparently ) I was looking like I should be at 'Deaths Door'.
    Decided to check my symptoms online, and had a bit of a wake-up call ! I had 10 out of the 12 symptoms for H1N1 Swine Flu .
    So a 2 hour drive home, a call to HNS direct ( as there online checker advised to call 999 and ask for an ambulance ! ) and a couple of hours later our local doctor has confirmed it, full fledged swine flu.

    So now 'working from home' for the next 7 to 10 days and this TamiFlu makes you feel even worse than the pig flu itself

    Ah well, I'm case number 6 in the building we're in so I don't feel too guilty if anyone off the project has it after me

              I too, have been feeling a bit rough, but have been diagnosed as H2O Swine Flu
              It's like the real thing but watered down a little

                People need to be a bit more alert for the virus than this fella was, especially if you might of come in to contract with the virus (6 others in the building...).

                If the virus does become more deadly, going to work for a few days while feeling like cr*p could put more lives at risk.

                ANyway, hope ya get well soon, and you`re lucky you can work from home for a few days.
