Feeling Better, Thanks.

| First 24-hours were h-e double hockeysticks. Felt like I'd been beaten by thugs. Throat was like a mild case of strep, and of course fever and chills. No one will diagnose, of course, but I can guess it is/was a mild case of H1N1. They say those born before 1957 have seen this before, so will have milder versions. Yea - not!! I haven't had the flu in many years, I am sure because I get my shots religiously. Someone dropped the ball on this, I would say. Just in Ontario, several healthy kids have died.
I'd like to outside today, getting my leaves under control, but will baby myself another day, sipping my green tea.
I was going to drop this into my Trivia answer, but didn't want to Hijack TM's wonderful Trivia.

Glad you're feeling better Nancy, H1N1 is hitting hard here too. Please everyone, take every precaution you can, this thing is killing people.
Our grocery store has now put outside their entrance door a dispenser of wipes asking everybody to wipe down the handles on carts and baskets before using them. I carry with me a little bottle of hand sanitizer and use it often, especially after handling money.
Our flu shot clinic was cancelled and put off until later this month, DH and I are just going to get our regular flu shot hoping because of our age we are somewhat protected from the H1N1. A 13 year old boy died from the H1N1 almost over night from the time he first showed symptoms of not feeling well, my sympathies to his family.
This is a time to be extra careful, stay away from crowds, get in the habit of wiping down handles, door nobs, anything you might grab hold of, as as much as you try not to you DO touch your face without thinking and, if you do think you have the flu STAY HOME.

| Nancy, glad you are on the recovery side of this! I am sorry to hear it hit you the way it did. I heard we should have it easier, too. Oh well. I am due for the regular shot at school on Tuesday, but no word on when the H1N1 will be available. I go to the doctor for regular check up on Friday, so maybe I can get one then-if I don't catch something in the waiting room! Hope everyone else stays healthy! Cynthia |

Take care of yourself and DON"T overdo. Annette |

| Nancy, glad to hear you are better. It is beginning to sound scary down here too. We don't get the flu shots but aren't out in crowds much. I do worry about DH walking through the doctor's waiting room when he goes to rehab which is in the back of the building. Glenda |

| Glad you are better Nancy. I keep hearing on the news that it is worse but can't say that I know anyone who has had it . We aren't getting any H1N1 here at our house as we are too old and there is a shortage of vaccine anyway . DH gets the regular shot. I don't get out much so don't get the shot. U have had the flu in 1991...lasted 2 weeks and I thought I was going to die. Got it again in 2002 and got Tamiflu right away and was well in 24 hrs. So it is a wonderful thing. Make sure to get it right way though or it won't work. Soon as you have the first fever. c |

| Thanks Trailrunner. I need a new family DR. Again!!! I had a great Dr, but she moved to Atlanta 15 years ago - I still haven't forgiven her. My new (slightly) Dr. is getting more into babies, and does not seem to favour the problems of aging, and probably wouldn't give me Tamiflu. I hate her!!!! Oh, sorry, I'll be quiet now~~~ Nancy. |
