Tannehill AGAIN!
This morning, Kyle was so sick. He didn't even get to make it to church. I went on with Christian. After church, Holly and Beau went and changed clothes and came over and picked me up to go back to Tannehill to walk around. We didn't buy a thing, just walked and took in the beauty of it all. It was another wonderful afternoon. Now home and trying to relax. Christian is spending the night again and staying home with his Papa and Pop tomorrow while Holly is at school. My Daddy loves to come over and help watch Christian. Christian has brought my Daddy back to life.....they LOVE each other so much.
Well, I'm going to go relax...if I can and hope that Christian will settle down sometime soon. I need my beauty rest for work tomorrow. ha ha!!! I really am just plain out tired.
Hope you all had a great weekend.

Sorry that Kyle is sick and hope he is feeling much better soon! I have not seen the flu outbreak maps yet so I don't know if the flu ha**** Alabama or not, but the Tamiflu can't hurt him.... good idea to give it to him.
I had my flu shot a little over a week ago. For the first time, I had absolutely no reaction to it. No site soreness, no aches, no fever, NO NOTHING. I was wondering if I really got the flu shot! Fourtunately, they
gave them to us at work so it was a freebie for me.
The nurse doing them gave me the shot while I was on the phone talking to a doctor's office ! Quick and painless.
Glad that you got to enjoy another day at Tannehill.
I am going to have to check out that place someday. I have never been there. Birmingham, right?
The price of gas put a halt to a lot of my traveling around this summer. Geez.....but, today I went to
fill up and the station near my house had it for $2.62 a gallon. That will make the trip to Birmingham and PF Changs this coming weekend, a little less painful.
Of course getting to see everyone again will erase all the pain of the pump!
OK...I really do have to get settled down and get some sleep tonight. I am going to go back to work tomorrow.
I did work Thursday but did not feel up to it Friday...so I missed three days (Tuesday/Wednesday & Friday) last week and I have some catching up to do. I go back to the surgeon Tuesday but that is at 7:45 in the morning. I will be out of there and to work --- and only a few minutes late that day.
Hope you get a good nights sleep tonight and wake up rested and feeling ready to go!

After a complete day of rest, Kyle is feeling a slight bit better. I'm just a bit upset that Christian's "other" grandparents can't/won't help out more. Mrs. Brenda has him 2 days a week and Kyle and my Daddy help out the other two days unless by chance Christian's other GM or Great GM offer to do it. Holly won't ask them for anything. His great GM lives right in front of them. Daddy loves watching Christian, but I know he gets so tired easily and now that Christian is toddling around, he's that much harder to keep up with. Daddy spends a lot of time with him outside. I'm going to let him know that there IS an umbrella stroller in the garage that he can use and that he doesn't have to tote. Christian everywhere. I think he just LIKES to do it. ha ha! Kyle has been trying to get a few small painting jobs to help us out financially, but hasn't been able the past few days due to being sick.
We aren't scheduled to get our flu shots at work till November 17th. I don't know if we can wait that long. But their free and I feel we need to wait. I can get mine free due to my health issues anyway and I'm sure Kyle can too with his COPD. I may just call the dr. office and find see what they think. I just don't wanna have to wait hours just to get a shot.
I hope you have a good week back at work. I'm really exhausted from my wonderful weekend. It's been the greatest....being with family and all. All that was missing was Kyle. Got to spend the day with Jill and her bf and Christian yesterday and today with Beau, Holly and Christian. What more could a Mother/Nana ask for??? I just wish Kyle had felt like going with us today.
Talk to you soon and I sure do hope to get to see you Saturday.

Loretta,
You and EVERYONE ELSE as well may want to look at the State Health Department for the Flu shots. The State, through the County Health Departments will provide the Flu Vaccine free to everyone regardless of insurance coverage or ability to pay. Another good thing about going through the Health Department is that they will also provied the Pneumonia vaccine FREE of charge.
If you time it just right, you can avoid the crowds and get right in, get the vaccines and get right back out.
I missed ours at work one year and because of that, I went to the Health Department and got both vaccines in one visit. The Pneumonia vaccine is good for five years but the flu...well, we all know, has to be done each year.
Just and idea--and one that can save money and time!

My insurane always covers my Pneumonia and Flu shots. I'm UTD on my pneumonia one, so I don't have to worry about that one this year. My doctor likes for me to keep UTD on both due to my diabetes and kidney failure. They like for me to take all precautions neccessary to maintain my health at it's best.
Thank you so much for sharing the information though, because I know it will help someone else out there needing to get their shots.
TO EVERYONE: PLEASE GET YOUR FLU SHOTS THIS YEAR! IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Carolyn,
I guess I should call my Rhuematologist, but do you think that getting these shots would make me sicker?? That's what I am SO afraid of. I am battling this so much right now anyway....

Lindy,
With all your health concerns, it would be best to ask your physician(s), however, the Flu shot is highly recommended for persons with compromised immune systems, so I am guessing you would be a good candidate to get the vaccine. The injectible flu vaccine
is NOT a live virus and does not cause the flu. You can sometimes have mild flu like symptoms after receiving the vaccine, but you will NOT get the flu from having the flu vaccine. Often the mild symptoms one will experience can be avoided by taking a dose of Acetaminophen or Ibuprophen immediately prior to receiving the injection.
I would think you would be ok to take the vaccine, but again, best to ask your health care provider. I am SURE you would be better off with the Vaccine than to have a case of the actual Flu.
I always get my vaccine and even with the vaccine, two years ago, I developed a documented (Lab verified) case of the flu and it was miserable. I have often heard others say and have said myself that I thought I had the flu because of symptoms--achiness, cough, fever, sore throat...all the usual--but let me tell you, I have never felt like I did when I actually had the Flu. It hurt to even touch my skin. Every bone and joint in my body ached and my head felt like ti would explode. Although the flu is viral, they put me an antibiotics and Tamiflu. It took well over a week for it to run its course and it was a rough week.
You don't want to risk an illness like that when you already have the health concerns that you do. I would definately ask my health care provider and get the shot unless they specifically advise against it.

Thanks. I will call them and see what they say. I am having a bad episode right now with fever and all so they might make me wait, but it's no telling how long this will last though. I have NEVER had the flu shot before. lol Can you believe that? I'll call the Health Dept and see if they are giving them. I need a free one. lol

Go ahead and put a call in to your doc, but even with their approval, there will be a wait. One of the requirements is that you not be running a fever at the time of injection. You also can not have them if you have an allergy to eggs.
But if you go ahead and get the approval of your doc, you will be ready to get the vaccine once you are over your fever.
Good Luck and I hope you feel better soon.
