Top 5 Lessons I Learned From Having the Flu: #1 Will Have You Shaking Your Head

Here are the Top 5 lessons I learned from having the flu last week:

Lesson #5

See your doctor immediately if you think you may have the flu.

Lesson #4

Don't be like me and wait until you are having breathing problems.

Lesson #3

Don't be afraid to ask for help. Mark Ericson had to drive me to and from the urgent care facility because I was in no shape to drive myself.

Lesson #2

Don't try to get your comfy pink bathrobe if your dog is using it as a pillow/blanket.

And, the #1 lesson learned from having the flu:

When you're running a fever and heading out to see the doctor...Never, EVER put a pot pie in the oven, thinking you'll only be gone at most an hour. Three and half hours later, I came home to a smoky house, a freaked out dog and an overly cooked turkey pot pie.
