FLU

[PAMMIE]

I HAVE ALMOST PRIDED MYSELF ON THE FACT I HAVEN’T BEEN SICK OR HAD THE FLU IN 15 YEAR. EVERY YEAR I GET MY SHOT. WELL THIS WEEKEND DAMN IF I DIDN’T GET SICKER THEN A DOG WITH IT. THE ONE THING I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR IS THAT I HAD ANTI NAUSEA PILLS AROUND. ONCE I STARTED DRY HEAVING, I KNOW I HAD TO GET IT DOWN OR I WAS GOING TO BE IN A WORLD OF HURT AND IT SCARED ME AFTER HEARING STORIES. JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT HAVING AROUND THE HOUSE. ASK YOUR DR FOR A RX, I’M JUST GLAD I HAD THEM HERE ON HAND

I got the flu just 5 weeks after being banded. Luckily my PCP has always been very supportive of me being banded and she immediately gave me a script for and anti-nausea medication - and gave me a few extra to keep around, just in case.

I have only needed them once since then... Last month everyone around here had the flu, the FIRST moment I felt queasy I took the meds and never barfed, even once...

I get my flu shot every year, but it is no guarantee that you won't get ANY flu... bummer!

I hope you are feeling better now!
