H1N1...again

so if you live in alberta, you are sure to be aware of the vaccine shortages and how they shut down all H1N1 clinics for the past week or so.

last saturday, i made jesse go line up at a clinic, but he figured the line was too long and heard they were already shooing people away for the day (this was at 9:30 AM at a clinic that started at 8:30). so he just came back home.

lo and behold, on sunday they decided to cancel all clinics until further notice.

jesse works for a small company and in the past week, 3 guys were out with the flu or cold or whathaveyou. 3 guys - that's like a third of the employees. now one of the guys who is back at work thinks his girlfriend has the H1N1. and who's he working with? you guessed it.... my husband.

so jesse is already paranoid enough as it is about me getting sick and this whole pregnancy he has been uber-protective. when sick contacts come over, he is there bleaching everything after they leave. the last few days, he has been wearing a mask at home "in case" he might be sick from one of the guys at work. he carries around Purell and washes his hands religiously, and has refused to hug/kiss me for the last few days, not to mention sleep in the same bed because he is afraid he might get me sick.

i've called around, trying to find a place where i can get the seasonal flu shot because i'm still not so sure about the H1N1 for myself right now. and as much as i love jesse for being the way he is right now, it's also driving me a little insane and so i just want to get the H1N1 so he can stop overreacting to everything. i mean, i miss my husband!

i wish this government had their shit together so the vaccine was available for EVERYONE. jesse really wants to get one asap, but of course with the new strict rules, he can't until further notice. and neither can my mom. of course they offer it to the one person in the family who isn't sure she wants one.... sigh.
