OK! Well, I certainly am NOT going to go back and re-read the previous three posts, since they were written in a disease laden state. I just got back from the doctor. Verdict: Severe sinus infection AND the flu. Nicely done! The conversation with the friendly, bearded nurse practictioner went something like this.
FBNP: Soooooo … did you get
a flu shot this year?
IDIOT COACH: Uh. No.
FBNP: Really? Have you ever
HAD the flu?
IC: Yes.
FBNP: Did you ENJOY having
the flu?
IC: No.
FBNP: Well. You won’t be
needing the flu shot this year! Hahahahaha. You’ve got all the immunity you
need now.
Great. Wonderful! But hey. Being a glass half-full guy, there are
several positives to take out of having the flu now:
--No practice or meets, so I do not need to risk infecting our
student-athletes.
--I can “work from home” … translation: Laptop on the couch while I am
huddled under blankets and hoodies.
--Our kids got THEIR flu shots, so in theory they should be immune. We
can only hope.
--God willing, although we’ve had illness in our house the past two
weeks, no one else has had the flu. I would gladly take every illness from
every one, any time. Better me than them! Any parent would agree with that.
--Remember that silly running streak I used to have? Well, no worries
about huffing and puffing through a miserable mile with the flu. Been there,
done that.
So, there are many blessings in the bad news. And again, any posts from
the past few days … if they seem convoluted and error prone and poorly written …
well, for once, I have a legitimate excuse! Pass the Lysol …
