First I want to start this post out by saying that I think that it is really important for everyone to get an H1N1 shot. The vaccination advantages easily outweight the risks of getting the flu itself.
But we ran into some scary trouble yesterday.
My daughter recently got diagnosed with Asthma and so here in Canada she is treated as someone that is high risk for H1N1 and was able to get a vaccination yesterday. All went well with the shot and they kept her for 15 minutes at the clinic to wat... Read Full Story

Computers make it easier to do lots of things without having to leave the house—like shopping, bill-paying, renting movies and now, with the advent of Wii Fit, going running on a tropical island. But a new study illustrates that as fun as it is, a Wii Fit exercise session may not be the w... Read Full Story
When should I start working out again after cold or flu?
I got back to the gym this morning after being off for a couple of weeks due to a flu. It was an OK workout.
Anyway, often when we get sick we are not sure when to start back exercising and working out.
