A few weeks ago, Brian had a cold. Mid-way through his illness, I caught it. We have since both recovered.
Yesterday, Jake woke up with a sore throat, cough, fever, etc. It sure looked like the flu to me. However, today he is much better (still has a fever, though), so now I’m thinking it must be something else. Though if it was the flu, he got off easy.
None of us have gotten flu shots yet. Jake was supposed to go today, but can’t since he is sick. His doctor is supposed to have them next weekend, also, so we’ll have to try to hit it then. There are some flu shot clinics this week so Brian and I are going to get ours then. My doctor’s office is having a clinic today, so I’m going to run over there to see how long the line is so I might be able to get mine today. Of course, this is for the regular flu shot. From what I’ve read no one is actually sick with the regular flu, just the swine flu. And, the swine flu vaccines aren’t available yet, so all the good this is going to do us.
No flu shot for me today. They were out by the time I got there.
