WARNING: Dating a teacher may be hazardous to your health!
Being a teacher I never really think about the germs going around school. I always make sure I keep my hands clean but don't really worry about catching anything. I have been working with kids for so long that I rarely get sick myself. The last time I was really sick was 4 1/2 years ago when I came down with strep throat.
Needless to say, I was reminded this week of all the germs I am around but not because I got sick. Monday night Jeremy and I saw each other and had a great time. Tuesday night we hung out at Skia and he said that his stomach had been feeling kind of weird all day but he was okay. Then Wednesday he woke up and was really sick. He decided to stay home and rest. Well Thursday he wasn't any better and today he decided to go the doctor. Once he went to the doctor they ended up sending him to the ER. He had a bad case of the stomach flu and had become really dehydrated. So after a couple of hours on an IV they sent him home to wait it out. They said that he could be sick for as long as a week.
We figured that he must have gotten it from me because the stomach bug has been going around school. We have had kids dropping like flies and now poor Jeremy has joined there ranks.
I asked him if dating me was going to be worth it, considering I sent him to the ER in the first week! He said he would do it all over again just to be with me. Isn't he sweet!

As Brian says, the big question is "are you driving over to Bentonville to feed him chicken soup?" ;-)
I offered but he told me not to come over because he needed to rest. I would just go over but since we have only been dating a week, I haven't been to his apartment yet and he hasn't given me directions.
You'll just get his immune system good and strong! :-)
