Oops! Ha! Well that will teach anyone who comes to ME for info!! :blush:

LOL I like your percentages. :cool:

Oh no. Whooping cough? You must be drained. All of you picked it up? Sorry to hear this. {that any of you did}.

Rest up and when you can I will enjoy what you share. I am sure of that.

Drained, and coughing till I puke. Always a fun combo... :( The kids are immunized so it's just the wife and me.

I thought the kids were safe but afraid to assume. I was also afraid that you guys weren't safe because you weren't immunized because how many adults are??? That is a bit unnerving to me. Did they tell you that there is an immunization for adults?

Sorry this thread is taking a freaked out germaphobe turn.... :eek:

Yep, I bet you are coughing. I have had serious coughs before, of course not whooping cough, but they were bad. Chest hurts, stomach hurts, taking a shower and puking up in there was no fun at all either. {the steam?} How long do they predict that you will be ill?

I feel for you and your wife.

Whooping Couch still exists? That's was a diseasse my Mom talked about in the 20's and 30's. Along the same lines as Polio and getting your tonsils yanked out by a rusty coathanger while sitting on the kitchen counter.

It was certainly news to me also. The kids are immunized (even kids around our age) but it wears off as you get older. It's really only dangerous in infants. I expect I picked it up from someone on the cruise ship. The crew was a regular united nations.

Crap, Moon! I just got home and was checking the boards prior to passing out. (We had a very great time, btw). Whooping cough? My sis and I had that when we were young- it can still be caught if one is innoculated, although that's very rare. We were very, very sick- I missed three months of school. (Which just broke my young heart, of course). Are you doing better?

Better but far from normal. Turns out there was an outbreak in Anchorage so I probably cannot blame the cruise line. I hope your post vacation goes MUCH better than mine.

Stories and photos to follow after you get some rest and return to normal life right? Oh and welcome home!
