Scene: Mother is giving daughter a bath, father steps into doorway.
Russ: What are we going to do if the swine flu spreads? Me: What do you mean? Russ: What are we going to do if the swine flu spreads? Me: I don’t know, you’re the one in medical school. What should we do? Russ: I don’t know, but we talked about how it could get really bad and it’s mainly affecting children and young adults. Me: Great. Do you really think we need to worry about that? Russ: No, but the school is making plans for how we can continue our classes if for some reason we can’t be on campus. Me: Maybe that’s what I have – I have the swine flu. I had a really hard time breathing last night. I couldn’t breathe out of my nose, and every so often my throat felt like it was going to close up and I started choking. Russ: You don’t have the swine flu. And I noticed you were having trouble breathing. You were making relly weird gasping noises in your sleep. I almost woke you up, but I decided to wait and see how things panned out.Filed under: my love |
Better Days 
When can we expect the Season Premiere of Med School Monday?
It has been too long!
bwhahaha! i love that he “waited to see how things panned out”.
we actually came up with a plan for the swine flu ourselves.
#1- as soon as either of the kids start showing symptoms take them to the doc. i know “they” have said just call and try and stay out of the office, but i don’t think that means for kids. especially under 5, i’m not taking any chances.
#2- we are going to quarantine any person who has it to one room, and wear gloves and a mask when treating them. ok, maybe not for josh. if he gets it i may just keep him in my room with me and have patrick take care of sera.
#3- if at any time any person starts having trouble breathing we go straight to the er. i know most people who die from the flu actually die from pneumonia caused by the flu.
#4- if we all get it at the same time…we are screwed.
#5- which should actually be #1, we are all getting vaccinated.
you can imagine with my germaphobia what all this hype about the swine flu has done for my anxiety. so, to ease some of my anxiety i HAD to come up with a plan. patrick was a good enough sport to sit patiently and nod the whole time i was in freak out mode!
hears praying that we all stay healthy!!
both this and boobies was laugh out loud (or, LOL) funny
