Well I didn't get the name, but here is the story.
My first little pumpkin of a student today is an absolute cutie pie. When I went to get him from class, the teacher said he was a little off. I asked him how he was and he said his head hurt. (Realize, this is a student who is spending his time one on one with a speech language pathologist, so I'm paraphrasing here!) He got a drink from the water fountain and proclaimed himself cured. He was a little stuffy, but that isn't so unusual for this little cutie. Just to be on the safe side, we wandered up to Nurse Jill before heading back to class. His temp was normal-ish. Some people just are 99 all the time. You don't go home for 99. The nurse said he should come back after lunch. After lunch, his temp was 104. Nobody is 104 all the time. You go home for 104. This made me very sorry I didn't get a flu shot....yet.
I know. It's probably too late, but maybe not. I had to at least try.
I called Walgreen's to see if they had any vaccines. The very nice lady who answered the phone said they were out but were expecting 50 the next morning. She told me if I couldn't wait, she had recently spoken with another pharmacy and they had plenty! I went to that pharmacy, and was able to get a shot lickety split. I thought that was so nice of Walgreen's to offer that information. I tried to find out the name of the person to whom I had spoken, but all four ladies had taken similar phone calls.
So...Deb, Marissa, Hannah, whoever it is you may be....thanks for helping a girl get a shot when she needs one! If it didn't work, I'm coming to you for my Tamiflu instead of my regular pharmacy.
