Been sick here. Nasty. Told my sup thurs nite (1/29) that I was calling in sick. Was out 1/30, 2/2, 2/3. Went to work 2/4. BIG MISTAKE! Called in 2/5 and 2/6. Took off 2/9 for doctors appt. Bronchitis. Was going to take 2/10 if I had the option but my steward stabbed me in the back. 
hang in there ladybrown
Im hanging in there! We are a pretty close knit center, we all look out for eachother. It's really nice, we have a great supe too. Im one of the fortunate ones though, there are quite a few under me that havent worked since peak! I'll take what I can get for now, each route pays the same, and pays the bills!

Ouch Dill, that sucks! I had a bad case of bronchitis last year, was out for over a week. I also had an upper respiritory infection in May. Both ears infected a sinus infection, and both eyes got infected and swelled shut. I was a mess!
Hope your feeling better soon!

It isn't just me either. Nearly every single one of our drivers has been sick. All the same thing pretty much. Coughing, sinus and chest congestion, fever, etc. It's been really bad this past month or so. I still have it. By the end of the day I'm almost hoarse.Ouch Dill, that sucks!

Get well dilli i dont like the mental image of that beutifull eye with the voice of Mr. Ed
ICCKK. When I get sick I try to go to work. I would rather get paid for being sick, and stay home when I feel like doing something.
I rarely get sick, but end of last yr, I had that flu come on, in an instant. Couldnt even,, pull over fast enough to get my belt off and hang out the door, that fast.
All over the truck, it was nasty. Then I felt fine,........for about 45 minutes, then ditto. This went on for about 3 hrs, til about 5 pm, I told them to send help, but I needed some carwash time. Got in hosed out my truck, got out to my own truck, and bam, hit me again. Then I made it home, then I slept all weekend, but I was only violently ill for 8 hrs, then it was all body aches, and my back just hurt so bad, and into my shoulders. Miserable experience.
I never get the flu or the shot.

Hubby missed a week and a half of golfing. Do you know how sick he has to be to miss golf ???
He had a headcold, went to chest and then felt like the flu. We both get flu shots and we feel that if we do get the flu that it is a lesser version than if we hadn't got the shot.
He's better now.

YUCK!!! I feel like I could catch it just by reading this thread!
I've gotten the flu shot the past two years, but I missed it this year because I was sick the day they were giving it out.
....and if you're sick, STAY HOME. The rest of us don't need to catch it from you.

My 6 year old has been home sick with a flu/virus for the past 4 days. All of the classmates that surround her desk have been out of school, sick as well. Taking her back to the Dr. today to get rechecked, as her temperature has yet to come back to "normal". The rest of the family is well.

Took my daughter to the Dr. today. She's got the flu. Had a 103.5 temp today, and the Dr. said to let it run its course.
I was off Tuesday and Wednesday. A few months ago my wife noticed a spot on the side of my face between my right eye and ear. I finally went to the dermatologist a few weeks ago and had a biopsy taken. It was skin cancer. The doctor cut it out Tuesday and got it all, thank goodness. The reconstructive surgery yesterday fixed the hole in my head. I get to take off next Wednesday and have the twenty-two sutures taken out. I was lucky my wife knew what she did, the spot was in a place where I do not see that part of my face when I look in the mirror.
