So much fun... err not really

More likely I have H1N1 (swine flu) they aren't testing for it. A bit of fyi, in the event that you want to catch this crap... biggest symptom is fever.. then cough... you can have other symptoms, but those where mine. they say to rest, drink lots of fluid...The really fun part about it.. you are contagious for seven days, little people are contagious for ten days. Totally makes sense to me why utah has so many cases of it. if you go to the dr within 48 hours from the onset of symptoms they can give you a shot. Not sure what the shot does I missed the window. Wash your hands.. wash your hands.. wash your hands.. If you think you have it don't go out. I think that I got it at Brie's wedding... I have that kind of luck.. Out of a thousand people I find the one person with and get sick... Bet you wish that you had my kind of luck. well probably not.

Here is more information about it... in the event that you are interested...

Symptoms:
What are the symptoms of swine flu?
Although uncomplicated influenza-like illness (fever, cough or sore throat) has been reported in many cases, mild respiratory illness (nasal congestion, rhinorrhea) without fever and occasional severe disease also has been reported. Other symptoms reported with swine influenza A virus infection include vomiting, diarrhea, myalgia, headache, chills, fatigue, and dyspnea. Conjunctivitis is rare, but has been reported. Severe disease (pneumonia, respiratory failure) and fatal outcomes have been reported with swine influenza A virus infection. The potential for exacerbation of underlying chronic medical conditions or invasive bacterial infection with swine influenza A virus infection should be considered.
