Flu Striking Anyone Yet?
Hey, folks. Has anyone else gone down with the flu yet? It's like a freakin' epidemic out here. My youngest just came down with the fever and emesis, and I am terrified that I'll get it, too. Yikes! Well, I am keeping up all hygienic precautions, but I'm worried I'll get sick before my vaccinations kick in!
I lucked out--the FluMist version of the H1N1 vaccine was distributed around the hospital where I work for free yesterday. Now I want to get the kids covered, but our neighborhood clinic doesn't have it yet!
All of this has put a serious crimp in my exercising. They never mention in the parenting manual that round-the-clock vomit detail will exhaust a person more than running 8 miles over hilly territory! Ah, to be a single mom...glamorous, isn't it??
Well, back to caregiving.

I will no longer be a spectator, a dreamer, a wonderer. I AM a doer; not only a goal setter, but a goal achiever. I will lead by example rather than word. I will "DARE GREATLY!"

I am keeping my fingers crossed! I work with 3 people who all have 6 yr olds. They are ALWAYS sick and every day I make the sign of the cross before I cross the threshold into my office. So far, so good. I get a regular flu shot next week, but I haven't seen any availability for the H1N1 mist yet.
On a somewhat related note, I've been EXTREMELY lucky over the last 2 years with regard to getting colds and/or the flu. No colds, and when I do get stomach symptoms, no more vomiting. Is that standard for RNY patients? I'm guessing it is. Yes? No? Bueller?
