Right, I changed the name H1N1 to “hini” which sounds like “honey”…

  1. You get a little sympathy (very little)
  2. You can lie around & finally read that book
  3. Coughing up gobs is fun
  4. You will be able to tighten your belt one more notch
  5. You can be part of a big movement
  6. When it stops you feel so alive!
  7. The fear is totally gone

Here’s how I dealt with it:

  • home-made bone soup
  • Swedish bitters
  • Nim-Jiong cough syrup
  • regular & steroid inhaler
  • hot Epsome salt baths
  • sleep
  • Kosher sea salt saline solution (nose)
