Flu News

More news. I started feeling bad this morning during our grade level meeting and went to the nurse around ten and she took my temp. and it was 100.5 so I had to scramble to find an aide to take my class for the afternoon. She had been in Missy's room all morning because Hannah has the flu as well. So I didn't get to leave until around 11:45. I came home and laid down for about thirty minutes and then drug myself to the doctor. Which surprisingly only took 40 minutes instead of the usual hour and a half. He said he felt like it was too late for TamiFlu because you are supposed to take it within the first 48 hours. But I told him I'd chance it. His suggestion was to take Tylenol/Advil and drink lots of fluid and wait it out. So I went to Wal Mart to bring my prescription and went by Sonic to get a drink because my mouth was dry. Came home and slept till 3:15 and left to go back to Wal Mart to pick up my medicine and called on the way over there and sure enough the lady said it wasn't ready and I'd have to talk to the pharmacy tech about why when I got there. I hung up and thought bull on that....I want to talk to him NOW! So I called back and he said that the dosage on the scrip was no longer available and they had called Dr. Nooori and hadn't heard back from him. RRRRrrrrr... SO I promptly called Kim and she said she just got off the phone with him that she didn't get the message until after she got back from lunch. So irritating. So I went on up there and had to deal with three differen't people who didn't realize the doctor had called and FINALLY the pharmacist intervened and said he was going to get it done right then. It ended up being $40 which was confusing because Mark's was only $10 for the same medicine. So that's just one more thing I'll have to investigate. I also got some DayQuil and NyQuil and plan on taking it to combat the symptoms. He said for me not to go back to work until Monday but I really need to be there Friday so we'll see. I just picked up Meg from track and she is doing her homework. They are having some kind of Evangelism thing tonight at church so she is going to stay and work on her project. We've got to get this thing wrapped up before February 13th and she's going to be gone this weekend. So we're home for the night. That's all I have for now.
