Flu Epidemic

Today's Health Tips
Two of them


This is my cell cam journal account of how I spent most of  yesterday.  In the ER with one of my kids.  And here's what I learned. 

If you live in Virginia, or Maryland, where a certain flu virus is now epidemic, and cannot keep fluids down, this may very well be your only solution.  IV fluids and anti-nausea meds.  Don't screw with it, and let it get into your kidneys, or other organs.  You're welcome.  PS - all appears to be well, but the patient was admitted for stabilization because he waited for three days and was totally dehydrated.

If all nurses looked like that maybe we'd NOT want to get better! :-)

I could see that as leading to a dehydrated condition ... a couple of tablespoons worth of fluid, repeatedly lost, would eventually lead to dehydration, no?

Best wishes for your son, Rodge. At least it happened before our poodle-clipped, retard thug-in-chief was able to destroy health care.

Norvovirus ... spend a half-week spewing from both ends, if you are lucky. Longer if you aren't.

Very contagious, and a one week incubation time.

My wife got it at work a few month ago ... by some miracle, I didn't catch it from her.
