OT where's ajaan?

wybrit

Even though he is an Arsenal fan, among other things, I hope he's doin' OK.

Aethelred

I understand his wife has grounded him from the computer for not picking up his dirty socks.

Shopping for digital film?

I am now in day 5 with the flu. I can't get rid of it. Now I'm developing a cough that has me worried because pneunomia (sp) is going around our school. Out of the 450 students and faculty, 20 have been diagnosed with it. Usually there are one or two cases per year.

wybrit

Get well soon, gunner fan!

I had pneunomia (sp) in 1998 and I have never been sicker in my life, hope you don't get that!

Don get well soon.

You need to move to a warmer climate where they have more than two days of summer... Don't get that sick, I had pneumonia at about
age 5 or 6 and it almost killed me..... {I know what you are thinking }

Drink plenty of fluids and wear clean socks, hope you are better soon......

phut

Get well soon.... and don't type any aaachooos on the forum.

And if you don't get well soon, Kelly can send my NCG coins when they arrive!!

ajaan

Went for a chest x-ray this afternoon. There wasn't a radiologist there to read the film, I'll have my brother-in-law read it tomorrow, but the tech said it looks like I have pneumonia which means I can't go back to work because I may infect all my students. I'll find out for sure tomorrow.

Get well soon, Don!

Here's hoping the tech is wrong.

Pneumonia really sucks, I really hope you don't have it! I had it in 1998 and I recall it taking months to get back to 100%. I had just gotten on the net then, the day after I came down with pneumonia in fact. Plan on spending the next three weeks in bed thinking you'd have to get better to die if you really do have the big P.

spinaker2000

sorry to hear that Don, I had "walking Peunominua" (whatever the hell that is) a few years ago. Setteled in my back and shoulder. Had to sleep on the floor for 2 weeks and take prednizone. Really sucked!!

Neptune

Good grief - sorry to hear you are sick. I am sure they will put you on some antibiotics, if not already on them. Plenty of fluids and rest. Lots of vitamins and juices. My Mom just got over it and she is 73 and was in hospital for awhile - she also had to go on the Prednisone (sp.). My son had it also - everyone on the Gulf Coast seems to have chest colds. I am not on Gulf Coast anymore.

1jester

I hope you get better soon, Don! Indeed, lots of rest, water and vitamins (especially C and E) will speed the recovery process.

ColinCMR

The secret is to dtink 55 gallons of Tropicana orange juice per day.

Get well soon!

syraq

I'm really sorry to hear that Don. Aethelred, I also had it, twice!, the last one in 2001 and it was even worse than the first time. I hope the next results will be better than expected, otherwise you'll have to look at the bright side of it. There's a bright side in everything, you know that ,don't you?

ajaan

Thanks for your concern everyone. I just received a call from my MD and I do have pneumonia. Luckily it is bacterial and not viral so I can take antibiotics for it. They won't let me go back to work until monday at the earliest. They are afraid I may give it to the students. I probably got it from one of them to begin with.

newsman

You are lucky, Don. I caught viral pneumonia once and my doctor said I would never really get rid of it. He was right.

ajaan

Well I wouldn't say 'lucky' - the flu and pneumonia back to back, but you are correct, viral is much worse. The bacterial pneumonia is what is going around the school.

oldshep

Don - I hope you get better quickly - I know how those Tonawanda winters are - 9 months of winter followed by three months of lousy sledding.

Don - get better soon!

I hope you're feeling much better very soon, Don!

lordmarcovan

Yuck. Hope you get better soon.

Victoria has bronchitis and has been quite sick, too.

coinkat

Ajaan... hope you feel better and best wishes for a speedy recovery for little Victoria

wybrit

Take your drugs and feel better. Arsenal needs your support. Even with 12 men on the pitch, they couldn't beat Chelsea.

laurentyvan

Been a stomach flu going through our school-miserable time of year for it. Don, you don't mess with what you've got-I hope you're taking care of yourself!
Happy holiday greetings to you and yours and hope you're feeling better soon.

Hi Don,

Sorry to hear that you are so sick. There is a lot going around here in North Carolina as well. This is my second day home and I am waiting for the Doc to call. The 70's gave way to the 30's in a quick hurry here. None of us can afford to be sick this time of year however, I have to get drugs as my son is having surgery on the 20th. Ho-Ho-Ho

ajaan

Debbie, I hope everything goes well with Neil.

Askari

Sorry to hear about your son, Debbie. What's his surgery for? I pray that it goes smoothly and he recovers quickly!

Luvdawgs

My prayers will be going for you and your son, Debbie. I hope that your son's surgery goes well, and that he recovers quickly.

wynswept

Thank you Susan, Don and Mark,

That is kind of you to think of us. You know Susan, you are not all that far from me. I may be in the Virginia area soon. I will let you know if that happens. Happy Holidays!
