H1N1 is a Twitter trending topic… New News
Posted by Lorren on August 28, 2009
I have been following H1N1 since the first news of it came out this spring. My great-grandmother died of H1N1 in 1918, so the topic is of particular interest to me. Earlier this year, I listened to The Great Influenza by John M. Barry on audiobook, as I feared that there might be [...]
Will there be an H1N1 Vaccine Shortage?
Posted by Lorren on August 18, 2009
A representative from the Department of Health and Human Services believes that there might not be enough H1N1 vaccine to go around if the virus breaks out in September or October. They were hoping to have 120 million doses ready in time for an early outbreak, but they only expect to have 45 million [...]
Pig flu and apocalyptic dreams…
Posted by Lorren on April 25, 2009
Lately, I’ve been having a lot of apocalyptic dreams. Last night I dreamed that there were tons of tornadoes outside. I went into this fortified bunker type place (it was a school) to escape. I remember that there was a (very strong and thick, obviously) glass ceiling over part of this building, [...]

I suppose that with all the [...]

I didn’t lose the entire 4 pounds that I mysteriously gained last week, but that’s okay. I did lose 2.6 pounds, so some of that weight did go away.
I’ve been working on a photo album that I won from Shutterfly, and it’s about the last 8 months or so. Most of the pictures [...]

HYC Check In
Posted by Lorren on August 12, 2008
I thought that I was doing really well… I’ve been writing in my food log, exercising 30 minutes on most days, 60 minutes on a couple of days, and 90 minutes on Saturday… and I lost a couple of pounds, and then gained back 2 pounds in 2 days. It’s probably water or something, [...]
“Gut Bugs” and Obesity?
Posted by Lorren on July 17, 2008
Newsweek.com had a recent article about “Gut bugs” that got me thinking.
The gist of the article was that there are microscopic bugs in your gut that aid in digestion. Okay, most of us knew that. There’s that whole “probiotic” movement going on, and you have new yogurts out that are supposed to help [...]
DD’s Friend is Out of the Hospital and is E-Coli Free!
Posted by Lorren on February 14, 2008
I posted earlier this month about my daughter’s 7 year old friend Shadiyah who was in the hospital with e-coli. She ended up on kidney dialysis things were going so poorly. When I got the initial call at 6:40 in the morning that she went to the hospital, it sounded like she wasn’t [...]
