I have been in bed with the flu for the past 48 hours.  Literally, in bed/on couch, unable to move.  At one point I had my hands crossed over my chest and figured I’d leave them there to make it easier for whoever found me.  While I was able to let Melvin out here and there, I had to get help for his walks.  He deserved much more than to be held up in the plague ward house with me. In between visits with guest walkers, he did find time to snuggle and give me a few, ‘are you going to make it?’ looks.
