Just a quick update for the ones who care: I can eat again. 
But I’m really tired. I’ve slept most of the weekend away. Happily, I was able to take Tylenol for my headache, which let me sleep better, and the headache seems to have resolved itself since then.
It’s been a long time since I had the flu, and I’m sort of marvelling at how quickly and completely it threw me down. And at how effectively it purged my body. I take medicine every day for chronic hives, and if I skip a day or two I will start getting itchies at pressure points — not instantly, and not full hives, but the warning of more. But yesterday I slipped on some sandals to go check the mail and by the time I got back to my house, I had some very itchy red spots on my ankles where the straps had been. It’s been ages since I had instant hives like that. It didn’t even occur to me that the flu would flush medicine out of my system. Thankfully I can take my daily dose again!
I’m not sure if I will go to work tomorrow. Even though I can eat, it’s like my stomach as shrunk and I hardly eat much before I feel full, and I don’t really want to stress my tummy by filling it to the brim. So I still feel wobbly and if I lie down at any given time, I will sleep for at least 4 hours. I think I’ll check my temp again tonight and decide from there.

I hope you are feeling better by tomorrow. You have no idea how boring Friday was…Everyone was just working away. Ugh!

Glad you’re feeling better! When you feel good about sleeping and doing nothing, then it’s time to get back to work!
