I’ve had one heck of a past 24 hours. Started off with going and buying a new to me 2013 Polaris Pro RMK 800. I figured I’d I was going to go to the Montana next week I better have a sled I would enjoy. I did that yesterday right after work. Then I woke up with the flu at 2:30 am this morning. All morning and day I have had chills, aches, bouts of vomiting but no real fever. Now I’m finally starting to feel better. Then on top of all that I got a call saying the WRX isn’t totaled and will be repaired. It must have been close though. The total appraisal was just over $4600.

The flu this year is a motherfucker. It whooped my ass silly. I ended up in the hospital for 4 days. Don’t remember much from the first day in the hospital either. Nor do I remember much about the events that led up to me being in the hospital.
The first thing I did when I got out of the hospital was to buy about 10 cans of lysol and sprayed EVERY god damn surface in my house with it. Even if I didn’t think I went into that area of the house.
I know the one thing that kept being mentioned to me while in the hospital was my weight. I’m skinny to begin with 6'1 130. They claimed I was down to 98lbs when I was brought to the ER via ambulance.
I proceeded to throw out my bedding, and bleached my mattress. I didn’t vomit alot, I had it out the other end. Hence why I threw out the bedding.

I am heading to Cooke City. I’ve never done any mountain sledding before but my brother has so this will all be brand new to me.

Holy man. That is terrible. I’m feeling better finally after last night. I can’t imagine losing 30 lbs to the flu. I also can’t imagine only weighing 130. I’m 6'2" and normally weigh 195 or so. The last time I weighed 130 was probably freshman year of high school.

Enjoy and be careful. Cooke City is a very popular destination for back country sledding, there are lots of knowledgeable sledders and lots of dumb asses. Avalanche danger is real out there.

Yeah. I guess someone from a town near me was out there a few weeks ago and died in a avalanche

I cant gain weight at all. Ive been to doctors, nutritionists, dieticians, personal trainers and everything else.
Eating in excess of 5000 calories a day, a healthy 5k calories. Didnt help. My food just goes thru and processes out the back. Nothing works.
Id give anything to be 160-185. But nothing works.

Im already better. 4 days in the hospital, IV fluids, and tamiflu got me thru it.
The lysol was to prevent getting it again.
