Since our whole family is high risk (asthma, age of youngest, collapsed lungs) we have access to the swine flu shot this week. Today Gorilla Boy is driving 2.5 hours home from college to get the shot. Daughter had it yesterday. Eldest is in Seattle and I'm not sure he can get it over there or will take the time to track one down. I'm going to see if we can reserve one for him when he comes home for Thanksgiving since he is coming home Tuesday. Interestingly we think The Engineer already had it. Word in the medical community is that the regular flu isn't here yet so if you are sick you've got the swine variety. There is only a 24 window you can test for it. Twenty days later his lungs are still not back to working order - he's on rescue inhalers twice a day instead of four times a day - the rest of the symptoms are gone. He clocks along just fine on his reduced lung activity (years of untreated asthma because there were no decent drugs back then). Are we having fun yet?

Love the Pooh drawing Frogponder. He was my buddy when I was little. I've had a soft spot for him since.
Hope all goes well with the shots!
I hope your husband feels better soon. That is really lingering!
Love Winnie the Pooh and his friends!
