H1N1

Yup, you read the title right, I have H1N1, other wise known as the Swine Flu. Fun times! The kiddos I nanny came down with 102 fevers on Wednesday morning and they went up to 103/104 and was complaining that their ears hurt. So their mom called the Dr. to get them in and they come out with a flu diagnosis, a regular flu diagnosis (which is not in season now). So no worries to me because I had both flu vaccinations about 1-2 months ago...WRONG!!!! Apparently, it takes 8 weeks for full immunity for the swine flu and guess what?! I had mine exactly 6 weeks ago! Really??? Only this would happen to me! I thought the kids had both of their flu shots, however, I was wrong again, they didn't. Good news is, I have a mild case and after 4 doses of anti viral medication, I am feeling almost as good as new. I don't feel like I have a cold or anything, I just feel run down and the Dr. said it could take up to 10 days to get all my strength back, ugh. So I have been resting for the past 2 days. Its has been lonely, since no one wants to get the swine flu and I have been semi quarantined for the past 2 days. My roommate, Jill, was great though and brought me a bunch of snacks to get me though these 2 days!! Thanks Jill :) I can't wait to rejoin the land of the living tomorrow!!!!
