Down with the flu

My husband has given me a lovely flu, and I called the emergency midwife number and learned the following:

• I can start taking Tylenol (acetominophin) when my temperature gets to 100.5.
• Can take 1000 mg of Tylenol every 4 hours.
• I have to call them back if my temperature gets to 102 so they can consult with the doctor.
• Lots of fluids, especially Emergen-C.

So far I've been able to keep my temp between 99 and 101, but man, have I felt terrible! I'm afraid I will eventually cough up part of my intestines and I've been almost too achy to move. My husband has been sicker than I, but he gets to take meds for coughing, congestion, and Nyquil. But he has been lovely about taking care of me, bringing me fizzy drinks and so on, because he feels so guilty about getting me (and Guppy) sick.
