I wanted to take time to post this article in hopes it may help others make the right decision and not the wrong one I made. As we all know the swine flu is running the state and county ragged. Some take it serious while others don't. I myself was one who did not take it serious. I contracted the flu on a Sunday and figured I would ride it out. After four days of confining myself to other parts of the house and even to a camper trailer out back to avoid inflicting anyone else I found myself unable to breathe and getting worse. Day six and I was on my way to the ER. As it turned out I went from flu to pneumonia and found myself lying in the ER on 10-15 liters of oxygen per min. Doctors said this was an unusual rate and I found myself facing the possibility of being placed on life support so I could breathe. My ordeal lasted another 10 days in a hospital bed simply because I thought I was tough enough to beat this thing. Thinking back on the issue I can call myself fairly stupid for my actions. My point now for this article is to get the word out to those who may become sick with the flu be it swine flu or any other. GO TO THE DOCTOR. Don't take a chance on your life or others. The swine flu affects the elderly and children especially hard and protection for them is a must. I was lucky enough to have caring family who stayed by my side during this mess but some don't have that comfort. If we don't look out for ourselves then who will? Take the swine flu serious because it is a matter of life and death. Look out for our elderly and children. Use good sanitary practices during this flu season and with some faith and trust in the man upstairs we will beat this thing. God bless all and have a great week! ~R.
