I survived the 2012-13 plague

Plague, a photo by Southernpixel - Alby Headrick on Flickr.

The last 10 days are a blur to me, I remember canceling the New Year's Day feast, I remember not caring that the ball or moon pie (a southern thing) dropped. Not eating much, coughing so much that I could cry. It hurt to stand, lie down or sit. My fever didn't get as high as most of the family. But it was still one of the worst starts of the New Year ever. Now for the bright spots. I think mine was not as bad as some was because I did have a flu shot and calling my doctor early and him prescribing a Z -pack and Tessalon Perle cough suppressants .
