Swine Flu

So I found out this morning I have it. Started off with the cough, then chills, and aches, so off to the ER I went (It was about 9pm last night). The symptoms really started kicking in Friday night, and early yesterday, so I got it in time to be able to get the tamaflu and hopefully not be out of work for more than a week. They did a chest xray to make sure that I wasnt developing pneumonia, and that came out fine. Working in the public like I do, I was concerned that I wasnt going to be able to avoid it, and the H1N1 shots havent been available out here except for children, young mothers under 23 or 24( I cant remember the exact demographic there), the elderly, and those in very high risk groups. None of those included me. So I have had my fingers crossed all this time. I guess I should have relied on my lucky rabbits foot instead :) Anyhow, thanks to modern medicine, I should only be out of work with this for about a week or so.
