Just picked up V. C AND a big fruit drink (and 'sudafed,') have already had one V. C, will continue with it often AND drinking (water, juice, tea,) and may try to swallow an echinacea which I found in cabinet; daughter had recommended it years ago, but it's 'gag' size.


SO I'm OFF, hoping I can recover in time to see Baby (and daughter whom I'd promised I'd see today) soon, but whatever happens, I will NOT contaminate them!
