Migraine + Lazy Spouse + Fast Food =???

[not_hathor]

Sigh. Last Wednesday I came home from work at the end of the day with migraine, and informed Husband that he and daughter were on their own for supper, and that there were pre-cooked hamburgers from the weekend and hotdogs in the Fridge and possibly some Lean Cuisine entrees in the freezer if Daughter hadn't eaten them already as a midnight snack, but I was going to bed with an Imetrex. Silly me! Naturally, even though Husband had been complaining about how empty his billfold/checking account was thanks to an unexpected car window repair the previous week, they went to the Scottish restaurant.....

Fast forward roughly four hours: Migraine mostly vanquished, I've been drinking egg-drop soup and noshing on left-over McD french fries and the nine o'clock local news comes on..... BREAKING NEWS!!! The County Health Department has closed down the local McD's because it seems to be one of the hot-spots for the Hepatitis A outbreak that we are just now hearing about.....

*FACE PALMS*

So all weekend there's been conflicting reports as to the number of confirmed cases in the county and a few in the surrounding areas..... and No one seems to know what should happen, or what possibly infected persons should do.... and then Sunday it comes out that at least one of the McD's employees had been diagnosed back in JUNE....Finally this morning the County Health Board announced a clinic for people who had eaten at the suspected/infected restaurant (which is now re-opened for business after a thorough cleaning/sterilization) since the beginning of July.... which includes me, Husband and Daughter. Ugh!

So they cleaned the resturant? Are they keeping that employee away from food production? Did they test other employees?

Years ago we had an incident at the high school were my kids attended pre-school.(It was part of the schools early childhood education program.)A cafeteria worker was found to be positive for TB. We all had to get tested, painful. Hope everthing works out OK.

Yes, yes, and yes.... plus, rumour has it McD's will get the bill for all the immunizations being offered free of charge today and tomorrow to anyone who had eaten at, or had carry out from, that restaurant during the first two weeks of July. I got my shot over lunch....word of advice: unless you've been known to upchuck from nerves upon getting a vaccination, DO NOT get one on an empty stomach. UGH.

(I'm preferring to blame the woozy on low blood sugar, rather than Vaccine saide effects)
