I was getting over a sinus infection when I came down with the flu in mid-December. Since I always get a flu shot, I was surprised. I had not had the flu in many years; however, the doctor at Urgent Care told me that it proved to be only ten percent effective this year. I will continue to get the flu shot, and encourage you to do so as well.
However, I have had lots of time to rest, read, and watch Hallmark channel movies, among other things. Here then is my list of ways to cope with the Flu at Christmas.
Top ten tips for coping with the Flu at Christmas
1. Stock up on Kleenex, canned chicken soup, and citrus (we’re hooked on cuties).
2. Claim your spot in a comfy chair: add small pillow and blanket and TV remote, and you're set.
3. Hot tea and lemon anyone? Keep hydrated.
4. Lemon drops soothe a cough about as well as anything, but candy canes work too.
5. Thank goodness for Netflix and the Hallmark Channel.
6. Order a packaged meal from Hyvee to avoid trying to cook a big meal.
7. Scale back your holiday expectations. My Christmas cards sat in the car for four days before they got mailed out. when I began to feel a little better.
8. Load up the Kindle with holiday themed e-books.
9. It’s a good time to sit back and take a nap: the flu left me exhausted and after several weeks, I still tire more easily.
10. Remember that nothing lasts forever, not even the flu!
