Whaaaat? That’s fabulous! 

Thanks Frankie and Amanda!!! Yes unfortunaley I did gain weight, but its better than the scale showed yesterday. My new plan is to curb the sodium and calorie levels and more exercise. I am feeling better today. My exercise plan got halted by my bad cold, but I am feeling alot better today and my temperature was 95.7 which is normal. I am feeling better enough to walk today. 45degrees this morning and temp will be 67-73 today 

Thanks Amanda, Buddy is head of security for the house!! I am relieved I feeling better, bet taking flu medicine as extra protection, Several People and kids have died this year with the current strands, One lady just died from septic shock Note The following news feeds: At least 37 children have been killed by the flu this season. "We've seen kids are really making up the predominant amount of influenza-like illness," said CDC Influenza Division Director Daniel Jernigan. "And they're taking that back to school, it's getting transmitted there, and I think that's really what's driving a lot of the visits to the outpatient clinic right now." GLEN ALLEN, Va. -- At 28 years old, Heather Stagg is dealing with the loss of her mom, who she said died as a result of complications from the flu. "They said that the flu had triggered the double pneumonia, which then triggered the septic shock because her body just couldn't fight it off,” said Stagg. "I miss her, that was my best friend." The family said that 59-year-old Linda Simkins Stagg was healthy and she got the flu shot every year. 

Happy your weight dropped. That cold probably had a lot to do with it. This flu going around is pretty scary. We just got a bag of oranges in the house and other fruits for vitamin C. 

Amanda interesting factoid but deadly one, A similar type flu in 1968 killed millions in Japan.
