Saw the doc today & he says I've now got a post flu bronchial (lung) infection, so prescribed a 5 day course of the antibotic Zithromax (azithromycin): http://www.zithromax.com/html/zith_zpak.htm

Capt Russ: Many thanks for your recommendation that I go back to see the doctor for the antibotics. Hopefully this will speed up recovery, as I'm really need to get back to work again asap.

Bebop, if you really do think Jann is coming down with the flu (differenece between the flu & cold is that only the flu also includes high fever & body aches), I recommend asking your doc about taking "Tamiflu": http://www.tamiflu.com/
which helps prevent you from catching it if exposed, or shorten it, if flu symptoms are caught within 48 hours of onset. I've been sick for a week now, but was advised that I might be sick far longer if I hadn't taken Tamiflu. The downside of "Tamiflu" is that it's a bit costly: $65-80, but (to me) worth the expense if can shorten your down time and get you up and back to work sooner.

Bebop, looking forward to seeing you (and other SZ members) next Month (April) in Florida.

Scott
