It takes a train full of people suffering from the flu for me to get so much as a scratchy nose. I’ve always been this way, where I have this super immune system and don’t ever get sick! However, I think bragging about my awesome immunity has proven to be a foolish decision. As if fate was tempting me the whole time, I recently came down with the flu for the first time in my adult life. I could not believe how awful I felt – I legitimately thought I was dying! The aches, the fever, the running nose and cough were all a pain to deal with, but the worst part was the chills. I would shake violently from how cold I was, and it seemed there was nothing I could do to fix it. The only relief I found was from laying on the floor of my living room, which had radiant heated floors installed as of last winter. The radiant heated floors generate heat using a hot water connection to the boiler system I have in my house, and that heat then rises up naturally to warm the entire house in a steady, gradual pace. Anyway, laying on the ground with two blankets covering me was the only way I could get any relief from the chills! I was so thankful when I finally overcame the sickness a few days later. Never again would I brag about my awesome immune system – not publicly, at least!
