Ebola

It's certainly easier to spell than our latest problem - "meningitis"

My father just called everything the Epizoodic. It was easier than trying to determine which vile illness you had, and it's kinda fun to say.

Ebola

It's certainly easier to spell than our latest problem - "meningitis"

it feels as if there are a billion shards of glass in the liquid space between your brain and skull. And anytime you move it spins around like mad and cuts up your brain.

most ppl would say things like .. "I wish I would die"

with meningitus .. you just want to be dead.

for some reason I had an odd desire to be as low as possible. I would search out the lowest part of the house .. basement, etc to rest - not on a bed either .. the lowest part .. the floor was more comfortable than a chair or bed. I don't know why. if you dug a hole in the backyard I probably would have gone out there to crawl into and rest.

When I decided to go "back" to school, I had to have proof of immunizations - measles, mumps & rubella (MMR), and having the diseases was not considered immunization. When I was little, these weren't mandatory like they are now. We could not find where I had gotten the series, so I had to get them. I opted for the meningitis shot, as well. UMD (and other colleges, I'm sure) has a history of someone getting it every couple of years. I figured, with my luck, the person would be sitting next to me in class.

And sneeze on me.

And, yes, sorry that happened to you. I wouldn't wish that or anyone. Well, maybe one or two. <jk>

And not in a good way!

It's funny because I also had to show proof of immunizations when I started taking the paralegal classes. Mind you, this was the same school where I had worked for almost 10 years. They didn't seem to be bothered with such things when I was hired, but if I wanted to sit next to students instead of stand in front of a classroom and yap at them, then I had to show I'd had my shots.

When I was a kid, I had the mumps about 2 days before I was supposed to get the shot, so my records showed no record of mumps immunization. I had to go get a ... shoot, what was the term? When you do a blood test to check for antibodies? Damnit, my memory is not cooperating so Mr.Google told me that it's called a titer.

I had the measles and the mumps as a kid (not at the same time, fortunately!). I honestly didn't realize that there are places that might require me to get the immunization for them now, all these years since. Good to know.

Sorry - I don't know.

I remember getting the three sugar cubes they used for polio vaccine. Yes, I am that old.

It's like being a volunteer firefighter; back in the day, once you were "voted in," you got a hat, coat and boots and got to ride right away. Now a days you have to pass a background check and have certain certifications before you ever set foot on a truck.
