Participating in the Pandemic

Yep - I got it. You may hear oinking if you come to our home this week! So far I'm the only one sick, but I imagine it's only a matter of time until the kids get H1N1 influenza. Now doesn't that sound better than Swine Flu? The doctor told me it's everywhere now. Since I don't know anyone else that has had it, I'm blaming it on work. My guess is I got it from a customer at the pharmacy. In case you are wondering about the symptoms - for me it started out with difficulty breathing. I had about 3 days of feeling like there was a stitch in my lungs and I just couldn't get a good breath. Yesterday I started getting achy and a mild cough. By this morning I had a high fever, achy muscles, very tired and still having a hard time breathing. The doctor put me on the same breathing treatments we do for Andrew when he gets wheezy - Albuterol. It really helped. I guess I just get to lie around the house for a while and try not to infect everyone else around me.
