Its not so bad as before my last surgery when I was at risk of getting dehydrated more easily - eg a bout of the vomiting bug could have put me in hospital on a drip. I think my immune system is fine and I'm healing well and quickly from the last op.
Yes sometimes I think they do! To be honest its more about me not wanting to stress them about it so much that their health suffers, not an issue of 'permission'. If media hype calms down they will be OK. They've been through a lot with me suddenly being so ill in Dec, then all the recovery and more surgery last week. I just don't want to worry them.
We were just discussing intensively farmed pigs on another thread about immune systems.
Are the pigs striking back?
Did the cows strike back with BSG?
Did the sheep strike back with Foot and Mouth?
Did the hens and turkeys strike back with bird flu?
As long as we breed animals for food in abhorant conditions we have only ourselves to blame.
Plus the amount of grain a cow eats to produce a beefburger could feed a family for a week in the third world.
the first celebrity case is revealed

that girl singer Tulisa from Ndubz a lot of my friends love the band and theyre gutted that tulisa has the flu, especially as NDubz were going to be at the coolest club in town: remix in hitchin!
i have to say i personally think its all an exaggeration, like bird flu, i mean thats dissappeaered now hasnt it? my friend chrystal is being especially annoying actually flapping her hands away when someone sneezed and yelling swine flu!!!! at the top of her voice! she even bought in disinfectant and started spraying it all over chairs, tables, and plates in the common room, i wont be surprised if she turns up in a bio suit like this: http://www.biotestofcleveland.com/images/bio-suit1.gif
No. She has a respiratory infection, they haven't got the test results yet. Symptoms of swine flu are the same as any other respiratory infection, and as yet, nobody outside of Mexico or the USA have had anything other than a mild case of flu - no different to ordinary flu that people get any other year.
I do wish people would stop panicking - it's not a good time to be a virologist On the other hand, the overtime money comes in handy!
Just looked on the New Scientist website and it does take a lot of grain to produce beef.
As for Astro's statement, you could argue how big your beefburger is and how small a family is, but I'd say it's not too far out:
The article is mainly about the cost of beef in terms of energy, greenhouse gases etc., which is also pretty high.Originally Posted by New Scientist article
Love dance, will travel
Way back I saw my father become very ill with pleurisy. The first sympthoms were a stabbing pain when he coughed. So when I suffered that this morning I rang NHS direct. I eventually got the wait and see response, but only after repeated questioning about swine flu, and my repeated denials that it was anything to do with that. It looks like one of their first assumptions is that callers are hypochondriacs.
Meanwhile I cough, and it hurts.
Naturally I thought I needed anti-biotics instantly, but Dr Internet says Pleurisy is a virus infection, so they would have done no good. Dr. I said take paracetamol to reduce inflammation. How unsexy is that? Perhaps I should ahve stuck in a the ocassional Ole and Senoritta and got anti-virals.
Anyhoo whatver it was the pain has stopped and all I have now is a minor cough.
