I'm sorry I've not been out touring and writing for the last several days. I have come down with a terrible case of the flu and have been spending most of my waking hours in bed. For the first few days I was a bit delirious, but after a lot of medicated sleep I'm hoping I'm on the back side of this one.
I will say that NYC is not a horrible place to be ill. The conveniences and accessibility to help are quite remarkable. If one lives in a doorman building, there is someone to ask for help in a pinch. Pharmacies tend to be open late if not 24 hours (although a pharmacy department's hours may be shorter/more normal). Also, there is little need to leave your home if you have a phone--most things can be delivered to you (including groceries and even library books) and you can get a service to walk your dog.
Yes, all of these things come at a premium, but the convenience cannot be matched. While the climate is not my favorite, I will have to give this City its due. For the home bound, NYC living is a good thing.
