I know--me either. All morning long I've had one of her sayings stuck in my brain: "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" She told me that is what her grandkids say. Isn't that funny? It just keeps running through my mind.
Kelly--I have emailed Bob back and passed on our best wishes for all of them. For those of you on Facebook, please "talk" to Ms. Sally--I know she is going crazy and trying to keep occupied.
That is funny, that saying.
I will fb Ms Sally.
Hi Divas:
I received another email from Bob, Dawn's husband. He indicated today was not a good day--she fell getting out of bed and they have moved her to ICU to keep more of an eye on her. On the other hand, he says the doctors indicate her life is not in danger at this time. They are both quarantined--he is only allowed to be at the hospital or at home and cannot have contact with anyone. He also has to "gown up" to go in her hospital room. They are also watching him for swine flu symptoms and he is not allowed to go to his office or anywhere other than hospital/home until next week. He also indicated she might be in the hospital for up to a month.
He did say that he was able to read emails and messages to her and that she is enjoying them.
He is also adamant that anyone who has not gotten the regular flu shot should get one. I tried to get one tonight but Walgreens is not giving them anymore. He said the doctors told him that people who regularly get the flu shot have a better chance of withstanding these flu's because it is mutating and they have some immunity from the past shots. I am calling my doctor tomorrow!
I'll let you all know as soon as I know anything new. Hoping for better news tomorrow.
Cheryl
Thank you so much for being our point person. You can relate this email to her "boyfriend" -
Bob, please tell Dawn that she has outdone me, yes, I do understand now she is much, much sicker than I was several months ago. This is half tongue in cheek and half real. I am really looking forward to hearing that she is much better and home again soon.
Oh, and I sent a card to her but it went to what we now know is the wrong address for the hospital.
Tell her it's the thought that counts...
Cheryl, and anyone else - about the seasonal flu shot.
www.fluclinicfinder.org is the American Lung Assoc site.
google.com/flushot is another way to find one.
I was able to get one at a CVS minute pharmacy, so google that. They even had the single dosage vial that has no mercury preservative in it.
The shot is a killed virus (good thing).

). And I think it may be hard on me leaving her too.
