My friday from hell..

[Nebe]

What a friggin weekend... friday was my day off and i thought i would go fishing for a couple hours. i get out to the end of a jetty and start fishing. Next thing i know i start getting the cold shakes and i can barely stand. its about a 1/4 mile walk to my truck and i barely made it back. My wife was out of town until 10 so i had to pick up my son from day care, go grocery shopping and then take care of him until she came home... When i got home from fishing i took my temp- 103 degrees.. then i go grocery shopping. it takes me 45 minutes to do what i usually can do in 15. I get to the checkout lane and when its time to pay i realize i forgot my wallet. Now i have to drive home to get my wallet and then back to get the groceries. After all that nonsense i have to watch a 15 month old, make him dinner and then give him a bath. The whole time I am on the brink of hallucination. just when i think i am in the clear, the tub is done and i am ready to take him out what does he do? he poops. So now i have to give him a 2nd bath. After putting him to bed i pass out in exhaustion on the couch and wake to find Mrs eben looking at me with concern. at this point i am totally delerious and we take my temp agian... now its 104.2. She freaks out, calls a freind to come over to watch the kid and hauls me to the emergency room. They take my blood, the give me an IV to re-hydrate me.. i didnt leave til 3 am.

what a friggin wild ride. I am better now, but man oh man i have never been so sick.

I hear ya, I never got sick until I had kids. I have had 6 violent stomach virsues in the last 3 years. Fevers, flu, core throat. It sucks.
I'm glad you're doing better.
Saturday, I was at craft fair thing at the local high school with my wife and kids. My wife was browsing around and I was playing with the kids, suddenly my son starts heaving and pukes all over the gym floor, my daughter freaks out and people we getting grossed out. He puked about 4 times all over himself and the floor. They're too young to leave alne while I got help so I had to stand there and comfort him until my wife came by. I got a bunch fo towels and cleaned the gym floor. That was 2 days ago so I should feel the fever and nausea coming soon.....

I was pretty much NEVER sick as a kid, perfect attendance through grade school and also high school. College, well, I had a lot of sick days but that generally wasn't due to germs. I certainly wasn't isolated though as a kid. Lucky I guess or maybe my immune system beat the colds before they developed.

And now, at 27, I seem to catch a cold even with just the briefest exposure to someone who is sick. Pretty much I would support the study Raven mentioned.

Bird flu scares the hell out of me by the way. We're due for a pandemic, it's more a matter of when rather then if. Anyone in medicine will tell you that. What really scares me is that it doesn't seem to care who it kills like a normal flu. At 27, I'm active and healthy, but bird flu could kill me just as it would someone older or less healthy.

Ever thought about what happens if bird flu hits? I'm not talking about people dying from it. Think about New Orleans and how quickly society fell apart. I bet people aren't going to be real friendly towards sneezing in public if bird flu comes around. I can see things getting violent...
