i've been down with the flu paste several days and finally at 6 this morning i ended up in the ER at palmetto richland hospital. i had to have iv fluids and oxygen, thought they were going to have to admit me at one point but im feeling a bit better now. if you get sick drink plenty of fluids! if you feel like you cant breathe when youre laying down theen you likely cant! #$%*, the flu and it's 90 damned degrees out there, no humidity and all ican think about is getting outside to enjoy the low humidity since it'll be gone in another week or 2. ah well, the kitties all seem to know i need company and all 6 are with me either on the couch or in my recliner, and its funny as hell, theyre all as close to me as their status in the kitty heirarchy allows with Hamish being the one in my lap with callie the furthest from me. these little peckerheads are good for what ails me ya know?
