I've had flu for 2 weeks and still have it a bit and with the coughing.
I pushed myself to watch Narnia last weekend still though. Flu these days are hard to get rid off it seems. The damn weather is not helping either.

The weather in Canada is against us students. For the last too weeks it has been snowing enough to make you feel uncomfortable, but not enough to close the schools down. Of course, compared to what Dowly is probably going through, its not that bad here in Canada. |

Loperamide and Ondasteron FTW!!!
Loperamide is OTC right now, Immodium. Ondansteron (zofran) is regretfully not. I give it to patients a couple times a day. Friggin love the stuff. I imagine it will be OTC in a couple years. It was originally used for chemotherapy patients to help stop the nausea and vomiting. But because only one manufacturer owned the patent to it, the cost was something like $1500 per dose. A few years ago, the patent ran out. Now you can get a dose for about $0.12. We use it alot in the prehospital (EMS) setting for vomiting patients, saves a lot of cleaning up in the truck. |

Almost everybody in the family had a flu yesterday when we held a mass for my passing grandmother's 40 days. So it's not just me. But admittedly snow or blizzard is a lot lot harder than just tropical rains. ![]()
