How can a bloody flu knock me out for a few days???
Monday morning.. went to the gym. It was an attempt to get back into the routine of getting up early and exercise at the gym. I've slacked off over the past 4 months starting with my Mother's death last year.
So far so good.. it was a good session and was looking forward to the next one.
Tuesday evening.. played indoor soccer. I've been experimenting with my diet to see how it will affect my performance during the game. It matters... ALOT!! I've dramatically cut down on drinking softdrink and sticking to water. Especially the day before and hours before the game. Topping up on water seemed to keep my body hydrated during the game so I'll continue this habit.
Wednesday.. I was absolute shit house!!! I was aching from Monday's work out and was tired from playing soccer late on Tuesday evening. To top it all off.. a few people at my work took the afternoon off sick.
EDIT:Discovered that 16 people had caught the flu and had taken at least one sickie.
No amount of praying or bribing with the God's would prevent me from catching the flu. Alas towards the end of the day I was so drowsy I took off as well and as soon as I got home I went to bed.
During the night it was apparent I had a fever. The kind of fever that makes you hallucinate and acquire a long lost art of speaking in tounges. Throughout the night I kept hearing organ music, the kind you occasionally hear in churches and I had this strange feeling that my brain was being defraged!!!
The best way I can describe this experience is to imagine you are shuffling through a huge pile of photographs and a fan blows the photographs everywhere as if they were paper.
Weird I know!! Thankfully the fever broke early Thursday morning and took the day off. Spent the day sleeping in and nursing a hacking cough.
Now it's Sunday and I've recovered (still not 100% though), hopefully the phlegm in my throat will disappear soon.
So folks.. let this post serve as a warning to everyone.. GET A FLU SHOT!!! Trust me it'll be worth it next time you catch the flu.
