yes, a lot of coughing. Not sure if the coughing is triggering the gag reflex, or if the virus is making her throw up...The big problem right now is, we gave her the tamiflu and she threw it up minutes later. Time is of the essence for it to help.

Did you guys cough a lot? Did you have nausea?

They make the Tamiflu in liquid if that would help. It is important to get it started ASAP.

Evening everyone.

I am catching a flight out west tomorrow and all the flu talk here and in the news is making me crazy. I have a bottle of hand sanitizer hanging from my carry on bag...planning to use it as much as I can. Probably keep a steady dosing of cold-eze stuff too.

Just read through a bunch of threads on chainsaw carriers. Some real ingenuity. Funny how many different ideas there are for doing the same task. What a value this forum is to see all the different ways others do things and then you get to either pick one or come up with something new.

I have to laugh at how many projects I have FOR my tractor rather than those actually using the tractor.

Randy- I understand the process. What is criminal is that nobody from BC/BS came to your aid during your devastating/catastrophic loss to help you understand your loss of coverage and help you make choices about coverage options if any. Who can think straight under these conditions. This is morally wrong. I am relieved to read as of February 1st you have coverage again. You should never have lost your coverage in the first place. What happened to you happens to a lot of others too. This is wrong.

Don- You'll beat that trunk. I'd bet on you if I gambled. It's a matter of time ...... and force.... and a really big hole :wink:

Einthewoods- I wish you safe and germ free travels. Airports are amazing cauldrons of pathogens. Keep clean; stay safe; don't pick your nose.

Yes we coughed a lot. We did not have nausea and no vomit. I just read that the nausea is a symptom mostly in kids not adults. It is 3 weeks before you can really say "I'm completely well", unless you get pneumonia then it's 4.

Do you have a stethoscope, if so monitor here breathing sounds for a rattle.

RNG I did seriously consider the pressure washer but then I thought I'll try the hand tools for and hour and that was all it took because the clay was only about 8" and the sand was a foot thick. If it would have been 90˚ instead of 55˚ then the pressure washer for sure.
