Don,
OH yea, I have vomited as a quad. If I'm up or in bed and know
what's about going to happen, I hold a basin, like you'd use for a bed
bath in the hospital, and hurl away. It just happens … your body takes
over. Bobbie

I puked up captain morgan/coke twice. Was wasted. Have
not touched a drop since.
That is only time that I ever threwup.
Derrick who does not miss hangovers

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.
Don.

Do you guys get flue shots?
I saw on the news how bad the flue outbreak is this year.
