Event Measles in Portland

I had measles at about 7, maybe 8. My doctor was out of town on vacation. My mother took me to some renowned clinic in Oregon City where I must have been looked at by four doctors. They had no idea what was wrong and prescribed some useless medication.

My family doctor returned in about a week and made a house call. He immediately said I had the measles and that my parents should lay me in the back yard all naked and let the sun do it's charm. In the meantime I went in and out of comas and was deliriously eating chicken noodle soup and drinking 7-Up. Our house was quarantined for about three days until I improved without any medication.

Kids should all get vaccinated for a number of illnesses.

I even remember as a little boy in the cub scouts there was this kid in our troop who developed Polio and had to go into an iron lung. My mother was our den mother and took the whole troop to visit the little boy. The little boy couldn't talk much because of the iron lung, a large tube that enveloped his body with just his head sticking out. He died a few days later. Some diseases are not to be messed with.

 

You can if you're talking about his hands.

 

Left out the “out”....

Awesome. My drummer and i were at the game. On sunday i became sick aNd have been sick all week. Standard head cold, body achey shit, but i am pretty sure i got it friday night.

Seems like it was a game gone viral!!!!

 

That was rabies.

 

You can get rabies from kissing?

 

Only if the other party bites

 

Did you say it's just a cold? If it's the measles, you should be added to the stats the papers are reporting. Maybe you should phone the reporter anyway.

 

Just a cold. No measles. Im pretty sure I know where I got it. Was at a concert after the game and the singer and I exchanged bro hugs after his performance. He was all sweaty... and sick. had missed four days of work that week. Combine that with working in the baqrn in the cold all day the next day and by Monday morning I was full blown. Fucking singer of LoveLode got me sick.

 

I hear the President has a magic wand.

 

My wife got her first measles shot today. Actually, they call it a MMR inoculation. Now, she's gotta get her second shingles shot and in two months another MMR or measles, not sure which and a second shingles shot.
I had my first shingles shot a little more than a month ago and need my second shot in another month or so. I had measles as a child and was inoculated in the Army so I should be good.
