Oh, that's irritating, Toddson. I hope you tell your doc it was shite, so s/he doesn't make the same rec to others.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Verified case of pertussis at Sara's school. How does that even happen when they're all supposed to be vaccinated just to be there?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Pertussis vaccine only lasts about 10 years - what grade is Sara in? (Booster shots are not usually on the mandated list, and almost no adults are up to date.)

Yeah, it said the booster is given after age eleven, but they're all supposed to have five shots before entering school. Who knows? Sara's in third grade, so she should covered (i.e. she's eight).

Sometimes the vaccines don't work for someone, or don't get to a therapeutic level. Which is why we count on herd immunity, and part of why the whole anti-vax thing is so damn infuriating.
Man, I'm three weeks behind on The Good Wife; clearly I need to catch up.
Yes! yes you do. (there wasn't a new one last week, I think, if that helps) Me, I need to catch up on Downton Abbey

All in all, it was a waste of a day off.
this is why I have yet to go to any of the diabetes educational sessions. Toddson, there is a book that comes highly recommended (I have not had a chance to read it yet) - Reversing Diabetes and while that may not be the result for everyone who reads the book and abides by the eating schedule, etc., I think it can help.

In California they made sure everybody got a booster this summer before they came back to school because it's gotten to be such a problem. I had to take Emmett in for his shot.

le n, thanks for the recommendation. Luckily, I'm on the low end of the scale and can probably keep it under control with diet and exercise. It's just annoying to have someone come up with such an impractical proposal.

I haven't gone either. I am still not convinced that I have diabetes, because my A1C was 4 but for some reason my fasting blood sugar was 130. I should probably return to the doctor at some point and or start testing myself. I started eating in a more diabetic friendly way, since I figured being healthier couldn't hurt, but I found, like Toddson, that although I am fat, the diabetic recipes had way more calories than I normally eat. I ended up basically replacing my simple starches with a lot more greens and more complex starches- and a lot of things in this book: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hate that a good deal is staring me in my face for my kinda pricey face care products, but I'm stocked up on all my key components. THIS IS JUST WHAT THEY WANT, DAMMIT.
