Don,
yes, I have puked as a quad and it is NOT fun!!! It is difficult to say the least, especially if in bed! glad I had someone who could get me sit up quickly w/ a pan on my lap.

This year I got the shot on my birthday, Sept. 28th. At Christmas my roommate/caregiver became sick with the flu. I managed to avoid catching it for a week but I did eventually get sick. While I caught the virus, my recovery time was much shorter than my roommate who did not get the shot. I think the flu shot aided in my quicker recovery, but I cannot prove that. My roommate is STILL suffering, while I am almost back to full health. I have never vomited in 30 years as a quad, but my body was definitely trying. I heaved for several minutes but did not vomit. Which made me wonder: are quads able to throw up? Do you need help to do this? Anyone have puking experience? I apologize for the unpleasant topic, but I'm truly curious.

I saw on the news how bad the flue outbreak is this year. Greg
