Are you friggin kidding me?!?

So I went to the UC Bearcats Vs West Virginia game on Friday with my dad. UC won in a marginally well played game. I yelled and hollered like a loon the whole time, and my father and I spent some quality time together. Really a pretty good time was had by all. My wife was a bit bummed we had to spend a friday night apart, and she was all too happy to make sure I knew it. But whatever, we had a ball.

Saturday I have the typical day after a big game hoarseness, but otherwise Im fit as a fiddle.

Today I wake up and feel like berkleying hell. I never get sick. I never get the ZOMGflu shots and I just try to eat fruits and veggies everyday. I exercise, I quit smoking nearly a year ago now and Im generally in decent health.

what the crap? I hate being sick. this is retarded... Pretty sure its the flu...stupid germs at a football game. Now my wife is rubbing it in like "you shouldnt have gone to that dumb game...you only have yourself to blame..."yadda yadda blah wife bs smack talking

If it is the flu, you were almost certainly incubating it before you went to the game. Meaning you were the stupid germ at the football game. See? Now you feel better. (Or at least, I hope you do soon.)

Your wife shouldn't be giving you crap about going to the game and spending some QT with your Dad, but I know all too well how that goes. I can't escape for an hour to the local tool store with my Father-In-Law without getting crap, but the wife and Mother-In-Law can dissappear for 3 hours to the local nic-nak-full-of-crap store and I'm not supposed to say squat about it.

As far as being sick - that sucks. Seems like I've been sick every other week this fall. No flu yet, but head colds, sinus infections, sore throats, etc. seem to be pretty rampant as well. Good luck and speedy recovery.

oh no youre right...

WebMD says: When you get infected with the flu virus, it multiplies quietly in body until you get symptoms of the disease and start excreting enough virus to give to someone else. That's the incubation period. For the flu, it is about two to five days. So if you are exposed today, you probably won't have any symptoms for three to five days. Then you have a little headache, maybe a few aches and pains and maybe a low fever. Then, the next day, you have a high fever and a runny nose.

now Im that guy

My Lovely Wife once gave me a guilt trip for playing an extra 9 holes of Golf with my Dad, Uncle and brother-in-law.

Once.

I was sick for 2 weeks. Not the flu, but every nasty cold type thing turned up to 11. Better now for the most part. illness sucks.

Day 8 for me. I have lung cheese from hell, aches, cramps, and no voice. No fever though, and the upside is no one wants me around the office like this so I can save some gas this week.

Use her toothbrush tonight.

It is almost certainly Swine Flu, H1N1, ZOMG THE WORLD IS ENDING BECAUSE THE FLU IS GOING AROUND. What I've read is that there is virtually no "regular" flu so far this season.

Oh, and from your web site linky: >According to the CDC, a person begins shedding virus a day before symptoms appear. This can occur as soon as one day after exposure.

So... YOU GAVE SWINE FLU TO THE WHOLE STADIUM!!!!

Uh, and coughing up green or yellow needs a trip to the doctor for some antibiotics.

I never have smoked but a 103 fever mixed with a sink full of blood was the big tip-off for me to go get that pneumonia thing fixed a while back. THAT kicked my ass.

A little lung cheese usually clears itself out w/o the pills and I try to never take anything until I am sure the bugs are winning.

Do what you want. But waiting for pheumonia before you seek treatment is kinda like waiting for the rod to stick out the side of the block before you change your oil.

Whatever germs you picked up, probably came from West Virginia.

I'm pretty sure she gave you koodies four days before the game just so she can say I told you so.
