River Day

Excavated an inlet for precious one at the beach - DD loves splashing water on her face and loves being held in the water so she can jump up and down (johnny jump up in the water!). Watching her play, i remember hours at the river with her baba and uncle Ez. Baba would nap under the bushes, which are no more.
Listening to public radio talking about the swine flu in Mexico and now in America; looking for symptoms which might give clue to homeopathic remedy. So far mentioning only the familiar flu issues: high fever, muscle aches, cough, head pain, can have nausea and/or diarrhea. At early onset could take Oscillococcinum. If too late for Oscillococcinum (or if not helped by it) and bones aches terribly, Eupatorium perfoliatum may be called for (head pain in back of head), sleepy with fever, shivering, better for sweating. Rhus tocicodendron is another good remedy for flu with fever alternating with chills, when one sweats at the least exertion (and is worse for motion), needs to pee often, aching in legs, joints and may feel as though hot water running thru the blood vessels. And there are other remedies...hope the flu fails to spread further.
