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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Pix, poor ND and you both (but oh, in light of ER visits past, I'm so glad it's not worse). Stupid 2012, getting its last licks in before it's kicked to the curb.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Jeez. I'm glad you got it in time for the Tamiflu to help, at least! How incredibly miserable. I hope he feels better soon.

Lordy, much healing ~ma to everyone.
I, too, spent time in the hospital today. The condition that nearly killed me in 2010 has recurred and I'm a bit freaked out.
So far, no critical infection, and I have an appointment with a podiatrist on Monday. I've been told I'll be on medication for about 6 months.
This after 3 weeks of the coughing virus and 3 months of the runny nose virus.
Seriously. What the ever-loving...
Thankfully, I have some of the protective meds left over from the last time, which is helpful.
May 2013 bring us ALL health and happiness.
I could sure use some of both.

My evil plan worked perfectly.

Oh Bonny, how awful! I wish you health in 2013.

Oh no for all the sick Bitches! Please get better soon.
I'm home! Not doing anything for NYE except luxuriate in the fact that I'm home with my husband and cats.
I feel like I have a bit of ick, but I think it's just weather adjustment and plane germs.

sj had an evil plan for my demise? (kidding...I hope)
Thanks Pix. My fear-o-meter has tipped way past 11, but I'm trying to keep it together.
I try never to say I can't take any more, because I don't want to tempt any tricky tricksters, but I'm at about the end of the proverbial rope, stress-wise.
What I really, truly want for 2013 is nothing grand...just some ease. That can't be too much to ask.
