I have the plague. If any of the twelve and a half lungs I've coughed up over the last few days are yours, I can arrange to get them back to you. If not, don't expect a ton of usefulness from me.

Aw Kim, not you too!

If you brought your coughed up lungs, and I brought my coughed up lungs I bet we could fill a bathtub!

Uh, I don't really know what we do from there, but hey, tub-full-of-lungs!
good times.

ewwww!!!!

Feel better soon, all!

That is a disgustingly plausible image.

Signed, the person who's been thinking wistfully of getting a spittoon. A disposable spittoon with a method of sealing it after use.

Cup with ziploc bag put in it trash can liner style?

Were you at PAX? either way, have you been checked for flu?

[boojum]

I was not at PAX, no. I had a friend there who Twittered some about Pax pox. I assumed it was the usual Con crud sort of thing -- is it flu?

Based on other symptoms and general debilitation level, I'm pretty likely to have flu. I haven't bothered to see a doctor because I'm between PCPs (I have a new-patient appointment with the new one early next month) and because there's nothing they're going to be able to do about it.

Yeah, Am has/had flu. Probably swine flu, as other people she was hanging out with were diagnosed with H1N1, but she didn't go see a doctor, so no diagnosis. Definitely flu, though, regardless.

[kathrynt]

The PAX pox is swine flu -- H1N1. And if *you* have swine flu, there is something they can do about it, which is note that you have swine flu for epidemiological purposes.

I'd go to the doc if you think you have flu.
