ARE YOU SICK ??

I just have to ask... how many of you became ill while at Indoor Nationals? And what did you have? How about after you came home?

Why do I ask? Many people that I have spoken to were pretty sick near the end of Nationals or as they were coming home. I know that I went to the doctor the day after I came home and was told that I had an upper respiratory infection along with two ear infections (not always do both ears become infected!). Kim Eger came home and was also visiting the doctor on Monday, receiving antibiotics for the same type of stuff. We had other skaters and parents who were quite ill and have missed most of their work week. Now I understand that a couple of the Jr/Sr World Team members have come down with "stuff" and are trying to battle it while they are training and at that altitude.

The only thing that I can come up with that ALL of us had in common was that we were in the auditorium. Not everyone stayed at the same hotel. Not everyone went to the SEND THE BEST DINNER (can you believe that??) and not all of us ate food there or flew out all on the same day.

So give me your best story... and your best guess. What happened to all of us?? And will the artistic skaters come across the same thing that we did?? Stay tuned... Linda
