SHTF when you are sick

[Andy54Hawken]

So here I am down with the flu.
Had a fever yesterday , stayed home from school...been laid up since then.
Body aches...sweats...chills...chest racking coughs that hurt from the small of the back upwards...fatigue ...can't really sleep....

I have medicine here for the flu...been taking it and herbal tea...lots of "rest" in my easy chair and the like.
And while I am no longer in my fighting trim of my LRRP days...I ain't no slug either.

Which got me wondering....
What if S of whatever kind were to hit the fan...?
I don't like being a burden or easy mark...plus the need to take extra "flu stuff" along if I gotta leave....
Not to forget to mention...if I am on foot ...I wouldn't make it very far or fast....driving...well I could...but fuzzy thinking at the best of times can lead to an accident..etc...

And while the likelihood of SHTF , this weekend is low , when I am down with the flu...it does give one pause to think.

Sorry to hear that you're sick. Hopefully it won't last long.

I reckon we just do our best, whatever the situation might be. Let's hope the S doesn't hit the fan anytime soon.

Ha..thank you.

Workin' on it....so far the flu has infiltrated by means of a night drop....then made a flanking movement....
I am just glad that it didn't make it to my rear echelon....

New and improved ? Longer lasting ? Fun for family and friends ? I am in

Ranger candy, electrolyte drinks and my wife's diet pills would get you over the next hill at least.

If one is a pilgrim on this earth, it is comforting to know that it will soon be over.

Not being physically able to respond to a SHTF situation is par for the course for most of the elderly. Old age is a chronic condition from which there is no recovery. So count your current condition as a training course in being elderly.

SHTF is an amazing motivator, injecting all kinds of adrenaline into your system.
I've run hundreds of yards on a snapped ankle. Once I got to relative safety and the danger passed, *then* I felt the pain.
Though, I suspect you've had lots of adrenaline, and then some, in your history.
