The first call came around seven this morning from a client. We
were scheduled to tour a group of properties beginning at nine.
“I have to reschedule our appointment today,” she said, “ I've got a stomach flu.”
The second call came a little after noon from the high school. “Your daughter
is in the nurses office with a bad cough and nausea. Can you come get her?”
No problem, since my morning appointment cancelled I found
myself with more flexibility that I thought I’d have.
When I arrived at Mt.
Hebron the school nurse
bought Peanut to the office. “It looks like the flu,” she told me.
“I’m glad I got my flu shot this year,” I replied with just a hint
of self righteousness.
“That’s no guarantee,” the health professional cautioned. “It’s
only about a sixty percent chance you’re covered for this particular flu.”
Still, I’ll take those odds.
