Wound up spending a couple more weeks in the hospital. I wasn't contagious anymore but my systems immunity was so far gone that they wouldn't let me go. This was a close one but I am now home and as soon as I get the dates of the requests sorted, I will get back to those of you want to buy minis. Just remember, if you get a flu shot in the fall of 2009, a piece of me will be in there. This strain was so different, the CDC is culturing samples of my blood pre-antibiotics. Turns out my system almost had this thing beaten. The guy from the CDC was very happy about the blood sample he got from me.
At any rate, I came close a coule of times to almost biting the big one during the past few weeks. Thats the third time in my life I've been that close to death. Hey, I'm only 47 and both my maternal and paternal grandparents lived to their 90's or better so I'm looking forward to being here at least 35 to 40 more years.
