Or something. In the words of Han Solo: I feel terrible.
UPDATE: Still alive, systems rebooted.
This flu followed the usual progression of flues, in my experience: a few hours of feeling funny, a sudden *WHAM* of cold sweat and horribleness, and about 24 hours of sheer unpleasantness. Reading the comments, I can only marvel at the apparent bucolic nature of other people’s experience of the flu… wrap up, stay warm and sleep. In my case… ah, no. Without getting into details: the most important thing is to always be within 10 seconds of the toilet. And yes, dehydration is a serious issue. Here’s a mental image for y’all: imagine offloading so much fluid so fast you can actually *feel* your blood pressure crashing.
Anyway, the first 24 hours ended about midnight, and at that point I was able to actually get to sleep. Things seem to be more or less back to normal, though I feel kinda beat to hell. Gotta get back to work… in all yesterday I think I had *maybe* 10 minutes of meaningful functionality. Bleah.
