Cough in that direction, please.
For the past couple of months Rosco and I have been mostly house-bound because of H1N1 making its rounds and whatnot. I didn’t get vaccinated for H1N1 until my first prenatal appointment in…when was that? December? H1N1 is something pregnant women, especially, need to avoid because it settles into your lungs and takes for-fucking-ever to get rid of. Obviously not something you want when you have compressed lungs during the third trimester, but when your fetus is still developing major body systems you sort of don’t want to get it then, either. That’s why when Scott and Rosco got H1N1 I barricaded myself in the bedroom for a week.
Well, that’s passed now for the most part. There’s still a risk of seasonal flu (they ran out of vaccine for that), but as March creeps closer and since I’m well into my second trimester, the risks are minimal at this point.
Now I’m housebound because our cruise is coming up and THEY WON’T LET US ON THE BOAT IF WE’RE SHOWING SIGNS OF ILLNESS. Now, if Scott brings something home from work and spreads it around we might be screwed because we didn’t buy trip insurance. That would be the only thing preventing us from making this trip. That, and if the cost of gas went up to $7/gallon between now and then.
Would it be rude if Scott wore a germ mask to work for the next couple of weeks?
