F is sick with the flu. The full on flu. This girl can really get sick. Which kind? Who knows. The CDC says there is no point testing. She is taking tam.iflu. I also have a prescription that I can take if I show any kind of symptoms.
Today was really stressful. Her doctor’s office wasn’t calling back. We are both scared about me getting sick. Luckily the birth program I am in called prescriptions for both of us in. They said there is no point in me staying somewhere else now, since I have already been exposed to what ever she has. We are lysoling the house and she is sleeping in a separate room just to reduce further exposure. I am also going to make extra sure that I get enough rest, lots of fluid and eat extra oranges for Vitamin C. I am so scared of getting as sick that sick right now. So far so good.Knock on wood.
Want quick service at the pharmacy? Go and pick up the tam.iflu prescription. I have never been helped so fast. They carefully avoid mentioning the H word. They didn’t even want me to pay for it. Just here you go and call us if you have any questions.

Oh no, poor thing! I hope she is better soon and you stay flu-free.

Oh that is awful. And I can certainly understand your fears about getting infected. I hope F gets better quickly and that you stay healthy.

Total bummer, but here’s hoping your body can fight it off before it settles in. Beat those germs!

That stinks! I hope she feels better quickly and you don’t get sick at all.

I’m sending wellness vibes – that’s scary. I’m glad you got the prescriptions though. We were just reading that lavender essential oil has impressive antiseptic qualities (they used to use it in french hospitals to keep germs at bay). You could try burning some of that for a more pleasant germ-fighting environment (in addition to the lysol!).

Oh ick! Poor F, tell her we are wishing her a very speedy recovery. Sounds like you are taking all the needed precautions but be careful and take good care of yourself my dear.
