Another day and I am feeling much better. Overnight, whenever I was awake, I thought about what I needed to do.
Yes, I needed rest and the story of the past three days has been napping.
I also thought that during the holiday season, I had not been eating properly. I usually keep close watch on my food intake, making sure I am getting proper nutrients. I was eating cookies, candy and fattening main courses. That had to change. Today, I had my homemade vegetable soup for lunch. It has a tomato base, which is Vitamin C. There are carrots (beta carotene) broccoli (a cruciform for Vitamin B6) beans and peas (more Vitamin B). Tonight, I decided I needed more protein and had a pork sandwich.
I decided min-afternoon that I needed a lot more Vitamin C so I made a big orange/banana smoothie.
It all must be working because tonight I am fine save for a dull headache, a big improvement over yesterday when I thought bombs were exploding in my brain.
Now I wait to see if Gary gets through without the same flu. If he does come down with it, I owe him all the tender care I can manage.
