sticking my pickled feet down my throat

My wife thought she might have contracted strep. A coworkers kid had it, and my wife's throat has been sore now for several days. She tested negative for strep.

Doc told her it's a flu and she should stay home till she recovers. Fifth person she'd had in with sore throat, fever and loss of appetite. Doc believes it may be swine flu, but she doesn't want to send a test to the CDC unless her symptoms get worse. "If you could stay in bed, sleep 24 hours a day for the next week, that'd be best."

And I was making jokes and conspiracy theory cracks earlier today. Don't I feel stupid?

P.S.: She's expected to live, so don't worry. 28,000 confirmed cases, only 144 deaths.

Stay in bed 24 hours a day for a week! I think I would rather risk getting worse myself. That is way way too much bed time for me!

That depends on who is in bed with you.

I suppose but even then you would need more variety after a while... swing set, coffee table, neighbors garage etc etc
