30 October 2009

So, anyway, it looks as if we have...

...some variant of flu here at "the halls"... Mrs N is on the mend after four days of moderate discomfort and Neophyte & myself are experiencing slight fever today. Is it swine? Well, who knows?

We'll keep the boy home from school, but other than that, it's business as usual.

UPDATE: Friday morning fever

I actually have an appointment for diagnostic imaging this morning and... given the sad state of affairs in Dalton McSlippery's socialist paradise... there's no way I'm cancelling & rebooking that puppy.

Okay... 6:30 am and Neophyte's temp is heading for 102 degrees. Not to panic but it looks like we'll be heading for the doctors office.

UPDATE2: Saturday morning fever

Both the boy & I had a pretty rough night... with Neophyte spiking a 103 degree fever. Horrible headache, joint pain and nausea for me. Neither of us gets sick very often, so perhaps that made things seem worse.

Mrs N is fully recovered... she got it last Sunday... and is out & about.

The really good news here is that 86 year-old G-Dad seems impervious to this thing. Perhaps he has some residual immunity from previous flu pandemics. He's positively giddy about the whole "been around the block a few times" thing.

Good for him... he doesn't get to crow a lot these days.
