Can Coughing Get Chatty Incarcerated?
Chatty is in the midst of an allergy attack.
Two days before she goes to Mexico.
All this swine flu talk is abounding.
Everywhere.
Chatty is wheezing and sneezing and coughing. Chatty herself knows that it is allergies...but - what about the people on the plane with her?
Are they going to panic?
Should Chatty call out "No worries - it's just allergies!" the first time she coughs or sneezes?
Will anyone believe her?
Will Chatty be able to control the coughing and sneezing long enough to get through airport security and onto the plane bound for Houston?
And, if she coughs on the plane...
Will they remove Chatty from the plane when she lands in Houston, and not allow her to continue to Cancun?
Even worse, when trying to be homeward bound, will they hear her coughing and hacking at the airport in Mexico and refuse to let her go home - and then stick her in a hospital - make her pay for her time spent there - and then make her pay for another flight home a week later (because by then they will have realized that Chatty has ALLERGIES, not the FLU) - for which she has no money - having shot her wad to pay for the trip in the first place?
In addition to her allergy attack, Chatty is now also having a panic attack.
Which makes her sneeze and cough even more.
Sheesh.
CHATTY oh no!

My 2 oldest boys have clearly had allergy coughs and sneezes lately. Boy #3 is possibly allergies or possibly just a cold (but I'm voting allergies at this point). I've been pretty healthy, as has SuperDad.
Boy #4 set me in a panic: 24 hours after his daddy removed a tick from SnakeMaster's armpit, he had a fever and a sore throat! Not just any tick, but a deer tick that had probably been there for 24 hours. I call the pediatrician but the receptionist told me that unless he gets a rash and other symptoms, they don't treat with antibiotics. I'm trying to remain calm.
Which is exactly what Chatty should do: dose up on the allergy meds and remain calm!
I hope you enjoy your trip!

Hey, the flu looks and sounds different than an allergy attack. After all the ocean breezes, on your vacation your allergies should clear up and you will have a safe flight home. As for the trip down there--all the folks that think you have the flu will sit far away from you and you have just created your own isolation zone-smart Chatty!
