I'm alerting everyone out there:
I will most likely not be in class tomorrow, and possibly Wednesday.
I was working Friday night and at about 12AM, I felt insanely sick. At about 12:30AM, I blacked out.
Paramedics checked me out. I had a fever of 103. They sent me home, and the next day I went to the doctor. I have advanced H1N1. While they don't check for H1N1, they did a flu test which positively placed me in category A. No other strain from this category is rampant right now aside from H1N1, so they can safely assume that it is my plague. I am showing all red-flag signs of deadly H1N1, so I'm on red alert. ER on speed dial.
When I showed symptoms about a month ago of H1N1, it probably was. The doctor said that when I got better, it probably went dormant and my lack of food and sleep made it pop back out.
I feel much better today thanks to the large amounts of Tamiflu. But the doctor told me that no matter what I need to rest for several days.
According to the CDC, someone with H1N1 may return to full function only after 24 hours without a fever. And it has to be unassisted, so no Advil or Tylenol.
So lucky me....
See you space cowboy.....

And now my wife has caught it. She has a bad immune system, so her parents took her back to Syracuse so that they can take care of her. It's nearly impossible for me to do in this shape.
ReplyDeleteJohn, focus on your health and your families health. I recieved your message. My mailbox is full.
ReplyDeleteI assumed as much when the messages started coming back.
ReplyDeleteI feel well enough to start easing my way back into the studio. I'm not contagious, so that's all that matters in the long run.
My wife was released from St. Joseph's in Syracuse 2 days ago, and came back to Buffalo today, so things are normaling out a bit now.
