The Friday Five on a Sunday

[nanila]

1. What was the most sick that you've ever been?
   
   I came down with flu when Keiki was about 4 months old. That is the most ill I've been in my adult life. I could hardly get out of bed and my temperature was over 40 C for several days. Runner up would be the ear infection I had when I was 11, which was so bad my teacher found me lying on the concrete floor of the playground because my ear was too hot. It was the middle of winter.
   
   What disease are you afraid of getting?
   
   All of them, but mostly: Dementia.
   
   Are you a big baby when it comes to taking medicine/shots for your illnesses?
   
   No. I am a big fan of medical intervention for illness and pain.
   
   Is going to the doctor really THAT bad?
   
   Not at all, it's just time-consuming, which is why I tend to put it off.
   
   Would you have the flu twice a month if you were paid $1,000 for having it?
   
   Assuming “the flu” really does mean influenza and not a bad cold, absolutely not. Genuine flu is completely debilitating. It took me two weeks to recover from the bout I had in Answer 1. This scenario would mean being continuously sick. No thank you.
