[Cami]

I like to have LOTS of pillows!

To answer the question I sleep on 118 of them sometimes 116 if Cami is uncomfortable

What is this pillows thing about? Do I need to worry about the number of pillows I sleep with? Not that I'm confessing to anything.

Fine. I'll look it up myself.

Definition: Orthopnea is dyspnea (shortness of breath) that occurs while lying down. Orthopnea is often a sign of heart failure, and this symptom should always be evaluated by a physician. Orthopnea occurs because when a patient with heart failure lies down, fluid that has pooled in the legs during the day is redistributed and begins to accumulate in the lungs.
People with orthopnea often compensate -- sometimes subconsciously -- by sleeping on several pillows in order to keep their head elevated and thus reduce their symptoms. This is why doctors will often ask patients with heart failure how many pillows they use at night.

Phew. I like a few pillows around, but not under my head. I don't even like an overly fluffy pillow under my head.

My 2.5 year old was diagnosed with influenza A today (H1N1). I had no clue that it was still being spread. Dr. didn't seem overly concerned. Upon research it doesn't appear to be any worse than regular flu, but I'm paranoid as hell having a month old in the house.

Kick her out, it's for her own good.

I'm pretty sure I gave it to her (wasn't diagnosed when I was at doc yesterday, so not sure). We're in this together pal.

Thanks Rogue! How is your health?

Muse I hit my knee on the floor doggy style, it's been in pain ever since, when I stand up after sitting a while is when I feel it the worse. What should I do? What should I take?
