Sickness is in the Air

Guys,

Wash you hands. I caught an illness this week that I could wish on no one. For two days, I could not fart with confidence.

It has been going through the local community with a vengeance.

Just a public service announcement.

I hear you Chuck Hope is better now.

You have my sympathies.

I recently returned from a trip overseas with a reasonably large sized group. Upon returning home my wife and I caught colds. Upon seeing a few other members of the group this week I discovered that nearly everyone in the group has had a similar experience. Either we all caught it on the bus tour, or we all caught it by being stuck in a metal tube with 300 other people for 12 hours there and 12 hours home.

My money is on the plane ride.

Sorry for your pain Chuck but that sentence makes me giggle every time I read it. Get Well Soon !

Several members of our neighborhood morning puppy patrol are under the weather as well.

Not with confidence, but with flatulence?

It was meant for humor. I was not laughing at the time, but I can laugh at it now.

I was so worried at the time I almost when the the ER and I am a physician.

$hit through a screen door and not touch a wire.

Okay, I just washed my hands. Now what do I do?

Just finishing three weeks of hacking/coughing with some bronchial crud. Clearly not the same thing, but still not pleasant. My wife kicked me out of the bedroom it was so annoying. Doctor would not give antibiotics (which probably was a good thing) so just had to ride it out and hope it didn't move into pneumonia.

Sorry to hear about your illness. Many, many thanks for making me laugh out loud, and for adding a new phrase to my lexicon.

Ah the good old butt sneeze.

I sure do feel for ya Chuck,,
You make feel feel guilty I got such a chuckle off of that one....

Tanks man,,

Hope you feel better soon! I spent all last week in Seattle like that. Just now stopping coughing and body is better

My adult daughter has had this for 6 days so far. Today has been good to her ''So far''. A couple of days ago she ate 2 peanut-butter & jelly sandwiches. The gas attack tore her up. We decided due to the imbalance of bacteria in her digestive tract and the naturally occurring bacteria in the pb of the pb&j had a fight. So if you have this stomach virus, be careful of what you eat.

Addition to public service announcement:https://www.cdc.gov/norovirus/about/transmission.html

Went to a birthday party this past November and the Birthday girl was not feeling well. My wife and son got what you are describing a few days later. I was lucky did not get it. Found out about 75% of the people at the party got it. Good thing it doesn't last long!! The first 2 days are the worst and after that the stomach starts feeling better.

Thank heavens you didn't have to sneeze, eh?

Just curious as a doctor did you get a flu shot? Glad your feeling better Chuck , Jim

Is there a product you endorse to restore confidence ? ............

Chuck, I hear you- just getting over something similar.

Back in survival school they described it as "being able to thread a needle at 50 feet."

I know survival school. I tool tropical and desert survival courses a few years ago. They taught us how to avoid illnesses like this....looks like I failed.

My cat very recently gave me cat scratch fever, (not a joke)

It gives you a fever, coughing, lethargy, all the usual symptoms, but one of the worst is the constant desire to sing cat scratch fever.

I caught what ever is out here... hit me like a truck and got a nasty respitory infection to go with it.

The papa died from dysentery....made me think of Oregon Trail...lol

Chuck, you are not alone. I am sick as a dog right now. Actually started yesterday. Test results are I. And yes, it is officially influenza. Yay me. Pass the Tamiflu. I am miserable.

Just good advice in general: Never trust a fart.

Get down with the sickness!

I recovered but it took a week. I still made the rocket launch over the weekend.

Well I am day 5 into a bronchial infection. Finally broke down and went to the Dr today.

Mark -> they don't mandate flu shots for you guys? We have to jump through hoops to not get one. It is essentially a condition of employment now.

Hey we have an Epic upgrade this weekend. Want to trade?

Got hit by something wicked two weeks ago and had it for a week - high fever and coughing but thankfully little stomach discomfort. The coughing is what gets me - my head feels like it's going to come apart after a day or two.

Since turning 50 a half a dozen years ago, my wife told me these truths:

1. Never explain my role in starting the rumor that Paul was dead.
2. Never again attempt to do The Dougie.
3. Never buy hair products
4. And Never Ever trust a fart again!

Glad you're feeling better.
