Health update

Flu, definitely flu (or something similar that's said to be going around).

This is not the more common "stomach flu" where you upchuck once, feel miserable all night, and wake up fine in the morning. This appears to be the "feel like you've been run over by a truck for most of the week, and if your fever stays over 104 for two hours get your ass into the hospital" variety.

What fun!

Hello, Sydney Flu.

When I was working at the hospital in Van Nuys, I was down for a week with something that horrible. Drink LOTS of water, keep your electrolyte and salt intake up (broth is wonderful for it), put some soothing music on, and give up on anything productive. Just relax -- you're going to be alright. But if you push yourself too hard while sick, you're going to STAY sick.

Then again, you probably already understand all this. ;)

(And here's an article for you to read: http://www.livejournal.com/users/aerowolf/140867.html -- I finally figured out how they calculated the CARP royalties, and also have a severe problem with the RIAA in any light at all. Might be interesting for you, I don't know.)
