Any Word On How Danny Harriman Is Doing?

Terrible news! Hope you pull through OK, Danny.


BTW this is an early flu season, and there are four strains being circulated while protection from only three of them are in this year's vaccine. So, even if you got the flu shot you can still contract the remaining strain.

Normal hygienic protocol for flu prevention should alway be observed during the entire flu season. Tough to do with all the holiday friendship and love that is shared during this time, but you can police yourself by avoiding personal contact if you are feeling flu-like symptoms.

- Stay home and rest, no matter how much your boss doesn't like it.

- Keep your bodily fluids and aerosols to yourself (cover your mouth when coughing and blow into a fresh tissue and dispose into a closed container)

- Use the same drinking glass and utensils and don't let them get mixed in with the rest of the family's dishes

- Make sure everybody washes their hands for at least one minute if there is any chance they came into contact with anything you touched

I had the Swine Flu (H1N1) back during the 2009 pandemic and it was no picnic. It hit me like a sledgehammer. I was feeling woozy while posting on a forum at 5PM, and by 8PM I was burning up and delirious with fever. My wife was told not to bring me in because there was no regular flu going around at the time, so I had to have H1N1 and they didn't want me in the ER infecting others with it.

I was lucky because there was extra Tamiflu in my area and the doc called in a script for it and insisted I take it. Still, it took me months to recover, and I never even got pneumonia. One thing I'm proud of is that, as sick as I got, I made sure my wife didn't get it from me. I refused to let her anywhere near me during the worst of it, and sweated it out on my own with a jug of water and a bottle of Advil.
 
Well Danny is where he should be to get the help he needs.


I got it about 3 years ago, and since that time I have had it EVERY YEAR. Never had to go to the hospital, but usually off work a week, and feeling like death warmed over.

Danny is no more than an acquaintance of mine, but I wish him well and hope that a full recovery is soon in the cards.
 
My friend got the flu earlier this year, and wound up in the hospital with pneumonia. They had to put her into a medically-induced coma for almost a week...and she is a young woman.

It should be noted, the this year's flu vaccine has been less than effective against the flu this year. The flu virus has mutated. So, a flu shot is not a guarantee of not contracting the illness.

I got the flu shot in October of 2014, as I do every year.

I just got out of bed today for the first time in over a week. I was laid up with horrible pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, etc.. This new mutated flu is a BAD one.

Best of luck to Danny for a very speedy recovery.
 
just read that in one county alone, in Iowa, there are 7 suspected (3 are confirmed) deaths due to this year's flu.

these were not all elderly or previously sick people.

there's an especially mean strain so def do whatever you must do to minimoze your chances of contracting the illness.

Starting with the two most basic ones:

wash your hands often

cover your coughing (and avoid those who do not)

best,
brian kc

I feel ya...I was down for 6 days myself.
 
Any chance Danny may have wound up with Aspiration Pneumonia? That's the kind of desease that might put him in critial condition. Haven't seen williebetmore commenting on this thread. Guess he would be our expert.

Incidentally, haven't seen Don post in a long time. Hope he is OK.

Earlier I reported pneumonia but it was just something I read by one of the FB posters.

I just read on facebook he is in an induced coma, and his kidneys have shut down. Prayers sent to Danny to pull through this.
 
That's even more terrible Lee. I will add Danny to my Prayers tonight.

Much too young to have all this laid on at once.
 
This situation is more than sad it is darn right scary. So young. Prayers for him and his family.
 
I texted his Sister yesterday. She responded that he was stable but his kidneys are not working and he still has too much fluid in his lungs. He is not in a coma but he is not alert. There was no talk of pneumonia, only influenza.

If ya contact her again, tell her bigfoot was pullin' for em. He gave me that nickname years ago at the Palace in OK, and it stuck.
 
Get well

Danny,
Come on and fight just like you are going for a 100 ball run. You can do it. I will have you in my prayers every night and day until you are well.
We met at Valley Forge a few years ago and you told me all about the restaurant and the chili recipe.
Your fan and friend,
Wayne Agnew
