I don't get sick much but when a flu like fever kicks in here in the jungle it may be cause for alarm. Four days of bed rest sweating and shivering while dreaming of a hot water shower...The fever finally broke last night. After I broke my multi day fast with half a fruit salad and some tea I began to feel human again. This morning with some effort I managed to almost finish a plate of eggs and gallo pinto so I believe I have weathered another storm..
Dengue is the scariest thing to me. The mosquitoes that carry dengue fly and bite during the day...They are smaller than other mosquitoes and generally were hatched less than a 100 yards from where they bite...This is not reassuring to someone that lives directly above the natural storm sewers called arroyos... I figure Swine Flu is for places that can afford the vaccine..
Back soon with more WTF is wrong with you people stuff manaña... Ahh but where to start? Birther? Deathers? Death Panels? Xtians? so many idiots so little time.
I had two unexpected uninsured heart attacks in my very early 40s (have a smoke), went into foreclosure on my shack and came very close to losing everything including my life. Can you say preexisitng condition? ..So I may not be impartial on the health care issue...
