Flu

Posted by Mark on December 22, 2011 at 9:57am in Health and Safety

Well been down for two weeks now..very very slowly on the mend I'm pleased to say but what an evil bug. Has cost me a fortune, I've lost xmas tips and won't be able to work before xmas so will have to try to make ends meet after !

 Just another winter for a gardener..every year there is something to test your resolve !

Hope nobody else has surcomed....

Stay well folks

Mark

    My sympathies to you Mark.

    I've been lucky and I haven't caught flu for several years but I still remember the times when it did knock the wind out of my sails...it's not pleasant.

    I hope full recovery happens soon.

    How'd you manage not to get the flu for years running Phil?  I got a bad cough this year, I was reluctant of taking any time off but I was getting nagged by family and some of my customers lol ..so I got myself to the docs.  Being ill is a pain.

    Hope you get better soon Mark!

    First couple of days work...easy work I'm very pleased to say..has kicked the  **** out of me a bit but still glad to  be earning. Amazing how feeble it leaves you I felt really strong and capable before this..now I have little wobbly legs me belt done up on it's tightest notch...

    Going to be a hard start to the year but can't complain because I've got plenty of work to get through ;-)

    Stay well everyone

    Cheers

    Cheers for the prompt John I didn't like the ingredients list for complan but did pop into me local health food shop and got some Floradix....whether it's that or masses of food, and a wild new year where I fell asleep in the chair and was in bed by 10pm,  but I almost feel normal now, grateful for bank holiday tomorrow and then hopefully almost fit for work..phew what a relief !!

    Prosperous & healthy 2012 to you all

    Mark
