LAST WEEK
Nice Assistant: Did you hear about the swine flu outbreak on the eleventh floor?
Le R.: ?!?
Nice Assistant: No, really. The super told me.
Le R.: Swine flu! Who actually gets swine flu! That's so silly!
Nice Assistant: I have some extra hand sanitizer if you want any.
Le R.: Pshaw!
TODAY
Cut to Le R., swaddled in blankets, hacking and shivering, unable to leave bed, doped to gills on Nyquil, googling symptoms of swine flu, feebly demanding snacks and coffee be brought to us by obliging Support Team. We only have a little bit of a fever. That's okay, right? WE CAN'T AFFORD TO GET SICK. REALLY.

I'm sorry to hear that you're sick! My family seems to be getting it just now. I'm sure I'll be wrapped in blankets, sipping on Nyquil long before the day is through.
A concoction I find rather affective: dimetapp and tylenol.
I hope you feel better soon!
Wow. Is swine flu really not common there? It's blazing its way through WA State. We have a college here that thousands of students have had it. The flu shot lines are like soup lines here. In fact, if someone had said the same to me, I would have bathed in their hand santizer. Half of my family has already gone through swine flu, so you have my sympathy. It's awful and it feels like all of your bones are going to break, and you sort of hope it kills you. Hopefully, your support team is taking good care of you. While it seems strange to tell someone who carries a sword and wears a skull mask to get well soon... I'm going to do it anyway.
Get well soon.
If you're well enough to be able to blog, you're not dying. You will be fine.
Blog some more to take your mind off your symptoms.
We will have to be on our deathbed before we will be too ill to stop talking about ourself.
Maybe Bavmorda turned you into a piggy...
Advice for the day: do not vex EVIL SORCEROUS QUEENS.
Which does, I admit, make me wonder about "Steve"...
Swine Flu blows. We've got it bad here is California, too, especially the kiddies.
I'm a little surprised your not doped to the gills on Nyquil everyday.
I bet Steve would look better...I'm just sayin'.
Le R.:
If regaining wellness is worth around 30 clams to you, send support team to good health food emporium for wild-crafted mediterranean oregano oil (one popular brand name - Oreganol).
If you can bear having something in your mouth that tastes bloody awful, get the drops, take three drops on tongue every hour and chase with orange juice.
Otherwise spring for the gel caps. Take a couple hourly until symptoms gone.
Also good back-up are zinc lozenges and Vitamin C.

Correction: We will have to be DEAD before we will actually stop talking about ANYTHING, but especially, about OURSELF.

Do the chicken soup thing--it has been proven to have certain benefits that improve your health!
Feel better soon!
Well bless your little pea pickin' heart. Hope you feel better sooner than later. Send Support Team out for matzo ball soup. It's righteous.
Do you know the difference between Bird Flu and Swine Flu?
With Bird Flu you need tweetment but with Swine Flu you need oinkment.
*ducking and hiding!*
Seriously, I don't know if you can get this in NY, but Bolthouse Farms, I think it is, makes this drink called C-Boost. It's all orange and mango and such. If you can drink about two servings before you get really, terribly ill, it will knock the bug right out of you. Tastes kind of like those push-up ice cream things in the paper cylinder.
Just don't go overboard and drink more than two or three servings in a day. It has enough vitamin C in it that you can actually overdose on it and make yourself even sicker.
It's probably cabin fever. You work too much. Better yet, it may be fabricated. Creative people can talk themselves into anything.
This theory has yet to make my jeans fit me correctly, but I'm working on it.
The swine flu isn't all that dangerous in the developed world from what I understand. Just get lots of rest and be sanitary and do all the regular get-better things. You won't be even close to your deathbed unless you refuse modern medicine and/or are elderly or a child.
Well, now that a coupla days have passed I sure hope you're as right as rain. (Not that I'm at all sure what's right about rain.)
With kids of mine in jr. high, elem. school, and the church nursery, it's about guaranteed my family will get H1N1--my one hope is that the vaccine will come out before we get it.
Feel better soon
