I hate to say it, but I've got Tigger beat on the med count--I take a dozen meds a day, 1 of them 3x, another 2x. I wish I'd gone, or been able to go, to the doctor before things got out of hand, but at the same time I've got a better appreciation for some things I wouldn't have had otherwise (sometimes you, or I, just needs a kick in the @ss, ya dig?).
And I'm not sure how many strains of the flu are out this year--they gamble a bit on which strain they think will be big and plan for that doing the ol' chicken egg thing to create the vaccine, but sometimes they miss the mark. There's something going around out this way, but not so serious as it sounds like Tigger & the team came down with. On the other hand, my grandpa spent a big part of last week in the hospital with the flu it was that serious, and he lives in upstate NY. Whatever it is, keep it on your side of the Big Muddy, will ya? (
