We’ve had a lot going on at work that if I at all discussed, my secret identity would be quickly identified…should some random person from my workplace stumble across this blog.
So far in the last month, The D has had some medical testing, which turned out A-OK. That was a real relief since if it hadn’t we would be discussing another surgery for him. We’ve also been hit with H1N1. The Husband, The G, and The D all got sick. The D had to have prednisone and Tamiflu. Everyone else managed to get through it with minimal pharmaceutical help. I was unscathed.
I also got my H1N1 vaccine at work, the live one. No problems here, no symptoms, no side effects, no extra head growing out of my back.
I’m pondering a few posts and will hopefully have some new social work-y material for my 6 readers soon!

Six, I don’t believe it! I too have had my H1N1 shot (and the seasonal flu shot, and the stomach flu) so I think I’m good for the year. Major issue with the H1N1 shot was a very sore arm. Also very tired, but that may have been working all day for the first time after the stomach flu…Sorry to hear that your family has been ill, hope they are all feeling better now. We’ve missed you!

Comment by April November 8, 2009 @ 9:16 amHi, yes I work at the local Children’s Hospital. And I work face to face with the patients and the families so I am considered high risk. When they finally decided to do the high risk people first, both in the public and in the health system, I was allowed to get mine. However, it was too late, I had already gotten it. There is much anger in our province as to how the roll-out of the vaccinations proceeded.
