Resident microbiology professor (waves) chiming in with "yes, please everyone get your flu shot / mist!!!" And also make sure your pertussis vaccine is up to date. Basically, Get All The Vaccines (unless you're allergic).
I not only got a flu shot AND a Dtap booster, I also got to redo my MMR because New York State has laws about students and vaccines and my infant immunization records are filed away somewhere neither my mother nor I can find them. FUNSIES.
(OTOH there is a measles outbreak in Nyack right now so being over-vaccinated probably isn't a bad thing.)
How habit forming is ambien? I have a few from a travel prescription, and took one the other night and it was amazing. I slept great (it's been hard with the splint, and trying to keep the leg elevated, especially when I usually sleep on my side!) Previously the oxy worked to put me to sleep and take the pain away, but now it's more discomfort than pain, so that's not appropriate. So I was thinking of asking my doctor for some ambien to get me through some of this. But I don't want to get hooked on ambien.
Some people get hooked easily, meara, but it's never been an issue for me. I've had a prescription for years and usually fill it every six months or so. I would talk to your doctor about your concerns and see what's/he says.
Well it seems to be working quickly, i was playing solitaire and fellmssleepmandmwokemupmejemmimdrrrdmimwssmfsllkngnoff
I swear I was typing words there. But figured I'd let it stand. (Normally I have an early evening dream about falling in a missed step because my leg twitches or its not frozen from sleep chemical yet) and no I just had one where I dreamed I fell off my scooter instead!
I had a dream that I was rushing to catch my plane. I made it, and I was heading back to my usual economy seat when someone guided me to an ultra first-class spa experience instead. I've gotta say, as anxiety dreams go, this one resolved wonderfully.
Go everyone getting their jabs!
meara, I'm glad your peg leg is doable, if not delightful.
While getting a four-year degree was a huge thing in my family, I can sort of understand teenagers being ambivalent about it these days. There's so much expense and work and no guarantee that it'll lead to secure, decently paying employment afterward.
The part I don't understand is not wanting to get on with it -- whatever "it" is. I was dying to get out of town and out of the house and out of high school (in reverse order, I guess). And I had a great home life and a fine time in high school!

Yeah, same on all counts. I was so ready to move away!
Same here, and yet my older son would have stayed home and played video games forever if I had allowed it. Younger son isn't the most ambitious person either, but his wife is so that helps. He has at least always worked.
I was outta there! My parents were great, but I didn't even stay home until I was 18.
Me too. I could not wait to get out of the house and into the world.
I got my flu shot yesterday and then couldn't figure out why my arm hurt this morning.
Is Halloween considered a bad thing in Jewish culture or is ltc's school just being super weird about it for no reason?
