thanks
for all the calls and etc while I have been sick. I got two shots and two prescriptions for my nasty sinus and ear infections. I still have no voice, which is killing me (and Rosjuane) but think it will be better in the morning!
Couple things I learned today from Dr. Reinhart. The strain of flu running rampant in Drew County is NOT resistant to the flu shots we got here. There are also nowhere near as many cases of it out there as people are saying. (They have to report their numbers to the County Office)
Yes, there are two strains that the shot won't work on, but he has NO documented cases of such a strain. (He also has had no one that has gotten the flu shot to test positive for the fu. NOT ONE!) So, if someone tells you, "Oh I have the flu" you should ask, have you actually had a test??? And if you know they had a flu shot, and they use Dr. Reinhart, then so far, they don't have it! Music to my ears, since his office was overflowing as usual.

I hope that you can talk again soon....I'm not liking these quiet days and nights!! LOL It's good to know that you don't have the flu...I was starting to think you were gonna be contagious and then I was gonna be in trouble, too!
Glad to hear you are getting better.The only person I know that had the flu thus far is baby Justice and he hospitalized her for it-shes out now.
I worked some in the ER this week after OR finished their cases and every child/adult that came in complaining of fever, aches, chills, runny noses or whatever had a swab ran up their nose and down their throats. Of those, if strep wasn't positive, flu was. There are so many people in the hospital with positive flu swabs that its pathetic! My first thought: did you get your flu shot?
a) are you sure it's just a sinus infection?
b) are you sure you aren't contagious???
i felt pretty good friday afternoon. thought the worst was behind me. told my wife since i was getting better, a doctor appointment would be a big waste of money. i think i'll go lie down somewhere and die now.
