At my age and health conditions, the flu is not welcome, the last time I had it was over twenty years ago. They called it the Australian Flu. I was so sick my hair hurt. Now, it's easy for me to think of the fragile nature of my health, the asbestosis playing hell on my immune system and try to protect myself and my wife who has serious health issues, she also takes immune suppressant drugs.

Now there are 2 people in the home with chronic lung disease. When my wife had covid it wasn't too intense, I never caught it but I kept my distance. If I went into her room I would wear a mask but around everywhere else no mask. I also asked her if I could have 1 room she did not go in, she agreed. We try to protect each other.
I can see how your reaction to the vaccine would put you off. It would me. Since my wife moved here from Texas about 25 years ago, I have had numerous vaccines fortunately with no ill effects.

The last time I caught the flu, it almost killed me. I ended up with tachycardia and A Fib.

Hi OldMan,

I ended up lying in horsepiddle on a drip for 2 weeks with that flu I had 20odd years ago, that destroyed my lungs, took years to get them back to life and "normal" albeit not 100%, far from it.

How is your better half doing now?

The flu can be terribly hard on someone, yeah, people die from it all the time especially the old and those with a weakened immune system.
She is doing fine, thank goodness.

Morning GW or whatever hour it may be.

The flu is a difficult sickness to get over, off hand it sounds like a heart issue that your talking about. I have not heard of what your saying, is this because your lungs have difficulty working right and it effects the heart?

I think I am going to try laying down again, see if I can sleep. It's too early to be awake.

Good morning Old Man!

I stopped eating and drank lots of liquids, which depleted my blood electrolytes.
