I bet you all thought I left again…

Well no actually. I just got sick with the flu. I can’t remember the last time I had the flu. I think the last time I had it, I didn’t realize it till it was too late for me to do anything about it. Well this time it came on my anniversary, when Tony started a business trip. It wasn’t fun. Luckily I knew that I needed help right away so I went to the doctor. I got an antibiotic and Tamiflu and now 3 days later you would never know that I was feeling like I was on my death bed Wednesday night. I don’t have 100% energy back, but I am close.

Which brings me to, I remember when Tamiflu came out. It was a big deal. Suddenly we had a drug to treat the flu! I thought it wasn’t that long ago. So you can imagine my surprise when I got a generic when I went to the pharmacy. Not that I wanted to pay for a name brand, but I didn’t think it was that old. So I looked it up. Tamiflu came out in 1999! It is 18 years old! I would have never guessed! It started having generics coming out last year. So also surprisingly to me, I realized I get the flu so rarely that I have never needed the name brand! Amazing! Also I am feeling a bit old with the whole 1999 thing.

Well sorry for the quick post today but I wanted to say something so I did.
