My health

[RickD]

It's a non-scientific survey - did some get the flu yet who also got the shot.

I rarely get the shot. Last year, I had what had to be the flu - kept me hammered for a week, and weak as a kitten for another 10 days after it cleared out. First one in 25 years. Viruses are typically 4-5 days max - at least for me.

I've never gotten the flu shot, and I've never gotten the flu. At least not since childhood if at all.

But since I like bacon and ham, I'm anticipating getting the swine flu.

My wife never had gotten the flu shot either. Until this season, because she accepted a job that required it.

Hope you feel better soon Jac.

Which is, no doubt, a "vast right-wing conspiracy!" Or LEFT one ... take your pick.

Thanks all for the prayers. Feeling much, much better as of yesterday. I guess it was just a passing stomach bug, but I'll be quite happy not to have to put up with that any more. I think I'll take up jlay's suggestion and hit the cardio in the evenings . . . maybe it'll help me stay healthy for a bit.

As to the non-scientific survey, I'm with Rick. I haven't gotten the flu in many, many years and I have never taken the flu shot. That is, not until about two months ago when I had to take it as per my job.

Yuck.

Thanks again all

You haven't gotten the flu in years...you haven't gotten the flu shot ever...you got the flu shot this season...then you got the flu. Coincidence?

Jac, I'm glad you're feeling better.
