Good
morning !
Now
that the election season is over and the flu season has started
(both can cause nausea) I though I'd just leave you with this
ditty to remind you how to be careful out there!
“On
the twelfth day of flu season my true love gave to me….”
TWELVE
DRINKS OF WATER:
Be sure to keep yourself hydrated if you get a fever, vomiting
or diarrhea
ELEVEN "T-TOTALERS":
Skip the Hot Toddy! Alcohol will reduce your immunity and may
interact with the acetaminophen to produce liver problems.
TEN LITTLE
FINGERS:
Wash your hands with soap and water twice as often as you
normally do.
NINE
TABLETS:
Use no more
than nine tablets a day of 325mg acetaminophen (generic Tylenol)
and take it ONLY if you DO get a fever (with or without vomiting
or diarrhea.)
EIGHT HOURS
SLEEP :
Get enough rest to keep your immune system working properly
SEVEN HAND
WAVES:
Don’t shake
hands if you can help it……if you must then wash your hands
afterward.
SIX FEET
APART:
Avoid crowds.
"FIVE A
DAY":
Wash your fruits and veggies and other produce.
FOUR FACIAL
TISSUES:
Try to keep your hands away from your nose, the usual point of
entry for the virus.
THREE SQUARE
MEALS:
Get enough to eat and don’t skip meals. Keep you immunity up!)
TWO WEEKS TO
IMMUNITY:
Your vaccination will be fully effective 2 weeks from
administration. You will have some protection up until then. Get
your “shot” before you are surrounded by sick people
And
ONE
FLU SHOT:
The most cost effective way to deal with the “flu” is to avoid
it. Being vaccinated means fewer sick days and less expense for
the “remedies”. Maybe not this year due to the shortage but next
year for sure!
Ok
everybody…. now lets sing it!…all together now…

ps. Best answer this week to
the question "How are you?" was "Spiffy!"
