Re: one flu over flori's cuckoo nest...a little set-back

Flori,

Glad to hear they are filling up your tank I don't think you need this kind of excitement on your vacation :O

A similar thing happened to my mom, she finished up chemo for ovarian cancer not too long ago, but it was a rough last two rounds. She had recently gotten a flu bug, recovered she thought, but she was still fatigued. She woke up in the middle of the night with a huge headache. She actually had gotten up to go to the bathroom and passed out/hit her head on her bathroom scale and her head was bleeding. Anyway, she is fine now. Her potassium, etc. was all fouled up. Scary!!

So I guess a good call is to make sure you have some powerade on hand in case of flu.

Your avatar is priceless, what a personality on that dog, and he is pretty cute too!
