Are you worried about H1N1 flu?

[Melissa]

Sometimes too much knowledge isn't necessarily a good thing...

My wife's a nurse as well, so I've learned way more than I ever wanted to know about "yucky-gross" things...

Yeah I guess, wasn't my fault though that in my nursing program back then we HAD to do random cultures of stuff around the building we were in, and it was oh so great to see that the water fountain grew more crap than the men's toilet seat did. Lovely

It's one of those things. I read the CDC thing and talked to my doc about it during my physical.

A typical flu last could go for 7 days and then you should start feeling better. It's that 7th day that is pivotal. If you ain't feeling better and you have a hard time breathing, then get yourself to a hospital to get checked out.

It's not too hard a choice unless you have no medical coverage.

This guy is a genius and his humor gets to me everytime. He has me howling with laughter when it comes to his articles. Anyone heard of Maddox? Well, you should! His take on Swine Flu.

LOL...With that one you reminded me of the good old laboratory fun times in high school...They never found the gal who used the Bunsen burner to...nevermind.

[Melissa]

My Boss will have a coronary.

No I understand that, and it sucks a lot of employers are assholes when someone is sick, or their child is sick.

Yeah, well what about people like me who come to work not sick, but pass along their little brother's strep to everyone else after sharing a drink on a weekend trip home? Should I stay home too? LOL... where do we draw the rationality line?

God, I make myself sound like a damn petri dish or something.

I meant obviously sick, not an asymptomatic carrier.

I was being silly, Melface.

Thanks - I'm just about over it today, and it wasn't that bad on me - wife and daughter going through it now, a little rougher on them, but they're taking meds - they're both smarter than I am...

I am going to let you all know how vicodin/percocet works on H1N1. I am going to war with a fistful of opiates baby!

Hey Melissa, I see you hanging around this thread..so let me tell you about last night. Totally thought of you.

About 415A, I am ringing these drunk clowns up and this guy bends down to pick up a 3 gallon jug of H2O from under his Grocery Sled, and I completely engulfed him with a toxic air biscuit. He knew it too, but didn't have the balls to look or say anything. He started gagging and I was looking away trying not to laugh. It was one of those muffled underwear farts where it's fully toxic, but limited on noise. My cheeks felt as if I was standing too close to a passing train, as they vibrated off each other. I say the Raisin Bran Crunch is responsible for this. So anyway, I later went upstairs and showed my other boss the "crime" on taped camera. Pretty soon, half the store was up there watching this poor fucker cough, wheeze and gag over my lethal pants pooper. I'll see if I can download the tape from it and post it here. Classic hysteria.

I still call it Swine Flu because it just sounds so terrible.. You've got Swine Flu

I vote that "swine flu" is what we all call what happens when your buddy leaves the bar with a less-than-attractive individual. "Dude, did you hear? He got the swine flu last night!"

@Todd... get well soon, son! I keep thinking I'll jinx myself, but I don't. Shit, I'd love to get sick, I haven't had time off to just relax in forever. Lucky.

Everytime I hear Swine Flu I think about the Seinfeld episode where Kramer claims he sees a Pig Man in the hospital.

[Lula]

as a teacher and momma my concern is with the students and my baby. i have a student in class today with a cough and runny nose. i wish parents would keep their children home when they are clearly sick.

melissa- are your children going to get the h1n1 vaccine? is it an additional shot beyong the regular seasonal flu shot? i've heard that some of the little ones need two shots. got any info?

Hey Lula- It is separate from the seasonal, and the same protocol as seasonal so far we've been told for first timers between 6 months and 9 years, 2 vaccines a month apart if never received before. That could change though of course, but that's the last we've heard.

So far, no I don't plan to have mine get it, or plan to myself either, and I don't think my husband will either if his dept. offers it. We've all had our seasonal vaccines already as every year, and I'm just going to stick with that for now. A brand new vaccine with no trials is just too iffy to me.

thanks melissa. we haven't had ours yet. since wy had a flu shot last year (2 one month apart) will he just need one shot this time for the seasonal? i'm surprised the flu clinic hasn't started at our pediatrician's yet. hopefully it will start soon. i just go to the drug store for mine.

If he got 2 last year, yes he should need just one this year. Call and see if your ped has it in yet, we usually start in September/October, we've been giving them all this month already.

How cute & just too funny

Got the seasonal flu shot @ Ralphs today...I'll let some others be the guinea pigs on the H1N1 shot, see if they still live after getting it and then I'll think about getting it too.
