We are in the ER because ND's illness is bad enough we want to rule out something serious. He's running a fever of 102.7 and is, to say the least, miserable.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh no, Pix. I thought we made it clear that you two were to stay out of the hospitals for another twenty years or so.

Pix, that's awful. Tons of ~ma for ND.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Poor Drew. I know a serious flu has been running around our offices and it's no fun.

Seriously! But here we are. We've finally gotten out of the waiting area and into an ER room, at least. We'll see what the doctor says. I suspect a bad flu. I also suspect we will be canceling our anniversary getaway to our favorite desert spa this weekend. Man.

Good news, of a sort. Looks like severe flu. Meds rest and fluids. Still miserable, but nothing overly dangerous. Poor sweetie.

Ugh, I had The Real Flu two years ago and it was so miserable. It took forever to get over it and I was so achey and wiped out. Get well soon, ND.

The good news is that he is within the initial 72-hour window where TamiFlu is effective (it just reduces the length of the illness, but that's plenty for now). I'm going to get his paperwork taken care of, pick up his prescriptions, get him into bed, and ring in the new year with the cats and dogs. Also the sick bunny I'm taking care of in the studio until C gets home tomorrow. It's going to be a medical kind of day.

The flu sucks, but I'm glad it isn't more serious.
I am going to make a trip to the market, and I'm selfishly hoping that TCG gets back before I do so that he can do the first round of kitchen clean up before I need to start the second round of cooking.

Ugh, Pix. I had the flu two years ago, too, and I'll never forget it. Lots of healing ~ma.
