My mom still hasn't been able to receive her H1N1 vaccine, and she is sick as a dog. She couldn't even open the thermometers case to take her own temperature, nor can she even get out of her chair that she is in the fetal position in.
I am honestly concerned, I hate not having insurance and the horrible distribution of the H1N1 vaccine.
God I hate this town...
Persuasive speech tonight showing how bad our pollution is around here though, I plan to hit it out of the park with it tonight. Wish me luck!

What she needs is to lay in bed and get plenty of liquids man. H1N1 is just like any other flu with a little more resperatory stuff. You need to help her out in this situation. Get her lots of water and make her drink it. Hydration is the key with the flu. People dont die from the flu itself they die from dehydration.

If your saying she has flu like symptoms, she most likely needs anti-viral medicines.
I wasn't saying she has H1N1, she hasn't left the house since the first case of it in kansas. She even is skipping her physical therapy and weekly checkups. (She is disabled from emphysema, asthma, and a lot of other things that she won't tell me.)

She doesn't sleep in a bed, she sleeps in her chair. I don't think it is H1N1, but it is pissing me off that she was scheduled with the clinic two separate times and both times the clinic said they had did received enough vaccine to vaccinate the employees. Both times they said they received less than they ordered.
oh, and her respiratory system is really week.

She hasn't been, she cant even walk to the bathroom now, but my mom is going to my grandma and grandpa's house this evening when I get back from school to help carry her to the car. (not that carrying a 90 lb woman is hard, my grandparents just wont be awake until the time I am already in school.) I've become increasingly more angry as I have been personally looking at the pollution of the local cement factory.
Once I am sure of my knowledge and know my facts are right I plan on publicly announcing the numbers and handing out fliers. I cant give the numbers yet but Ill name some of the Elemental compounds they have been releasing into the air. Mercury, Arsenic, and Hydrochloric acid are the three most notable ones. With Hydrochloric acid being in the hundreds of thousands of pounds per year alone (100,000s).
