Today's my birthday!

And, hopefully unrelated to the above comic, I went down to the doctor's today, having come down with joint pains and terrible glandular swelling ... and have been diagnosed as having swine flu. Woot.

Well, if you catch it now, you won't catch it later, when it is much more deadly.

Happy birthmas anyway.

Man, best birthday present EVER!

Anyway, happy birthday. Good job, too. I normally don't post in these threads.

Well, try to let us know if anything interesting happens before your hands turn into hooves.

And Happy Birthday. Here's hoping you get enough fluids and bed rest to get it out of your system.

Dammit Scribe, that sucks many things that arent forum appropriet...

Hope your birthday didnt become too hideous because of it. Ok, it must have, but damn... Go to bed and have lots of chicken soup.

Edit: Wait, dont do that. Bird flu is still around.

Happy AFONAL day mate.

Cough upon all those who anger you (or who try to fob you off with insufficiently exquisite gifts)

Danke schön, everyone - I hope I'm not going to go down the Edward Jenner/cowpox vaccine route ...

So, I went down to the doctors, and was prescribed some Tamiflu, on the grounds that the government has ~20 million doses, and that they might as well give it to someone with the disease - perhaps they also wanted to chip in with a gift. It was given with the strange injunction not to take it, on the grounds that the side effects are likely to be worse than the symptoms, but that I should keep it just in case. So, there it is, on my desk at the moment, in its little pharmacy bag. I'm personally planning on using it as a source of power and prestige in the post-apocalyptic world that will be left after the world is ravaged by killer influenza. It seems I can't just send it back to the stockpile, so, uh, any ideas?

Ouch, it sucks to get that. Happy birthday despite that...
I find it weird that they told you not to take the tamiflu. But well, they should know. Hope the flu is not too hard on you and you get better soon, man. With the gift of antibodies, even ^^
