bluurgh,
this is the third day in a row i've been stuck in bed with this damn flu thingy . I think i may just be coming roud though (no hallucinations so far today).
So anyway i rang up work today to tell them i couldn't make it in and found myself saying 'sorry my flu's not cleared yet' and i have been lying here thinking about that word ever since. How can a three letter word that sounds so innocuos describe the terrible fever i have endured over the last few days or the pain in my joints and my muscles? When i phoned in my sickness to work and i said 'flu' it sounded like one of those all purpose skiving excuses like... migraine, stomach bug or the dog ate my homework.
I really think flu sould have a more dramatic name or a least should be called influenza more than it is.
sorry if none of the above made any sense, i'll review this article when i've stopped seeing double.
