Chip McDonald Posted January 31, 2003 Author Share Posted January 31, 2003 Great, something is *trying* to make me sick right now but I refuse to let it happen. 2 days left to work this week in a teeny tiny room with sick people while this plague goes on. I can't afford to be sick. This sucks.

Rick K. Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Well one band mate of mine has Streph another has Bronchitis. Alot of my business contacts have been out with either one as well. I have spent the last month trying to stay well, hopefully I can continue to do so. Rest, eat well, take vitamins my friends!! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thrashole Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Hooweee, it's ripping it's way through here. (Erik, my wife and I were talking about the simalarites to the stand just yesterday) There seems to be a couple of different things going around. They have been systematically running through my family for the past few weeks. The first one is the stomach bug. You feel like shit for a day and then all at once bam! you can puke for long distances. It hit the kids first and I've had to clean my carpets twice. Once most of us had felt good for a couple of days the flu-like symptoms with the runny nose, coughing etc started to hit. This doesn't seem to be as bad except for people with breathing issues. It can develop into pneumonia. My seven year old has asthma and it did with him. My two year old actually made it thru all of this only to get chicken pox right on the heels of this mess. It seems like the kids are feeling good for a few days and then something new pops up. There are a ton of absences at work. there hasn't been a full staffed day in a month. The local hospitals are getting pretty cautious about who they are accepting too. My wife is a nurse in a nursing home and they have had a pretty large number of deaths lately because of it. (she cares for mostly terminal alzheimers paitents.) I personally blame the dependence on prescription antibiotics. Doctors will give you one for anything and it weakens your immune system. Reach out and grab a clue. Something Vicious My solo crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip McDonald Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 About half my students showed up today. The rest out with the usual excuse these days: vomiting and fever. One student that showed has a mother that is a pharmacist, and a father that is a doctor at the local medical school "my parents are sort of worried because no one can figure out what it is". Still hoping vitamin C doesn't let me down... (knock on melamine..)

techristian Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 [b]CMDN The Stand is starting to look more and more like a prediction instead of fiction.... [/b] We had the Norwalk virus here in Windsor,Ontario (I'm just a mile across the river from Detroit Michigan) As to the Stephen King thriller, "The Stand" was his interpretation of the book of Revelation.(a bit twisted though.) [b] Revelation 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.[/b] BTW Chernobyl means "Wormwood" but their accident was small compared to the disaster predicted in Revelation which fell on 1/3 of the rivers and fountains of the world.
