Good morning, Friends...
Well...I did it again. You think I'd remember from one year to the next...but I don't. Someone yells, "flu shot" and I'm usually, first in line...no more! I've had enough. About a month ago both Larry and I dutifully went to the Scott & White hospital pharmacy and received our injections. I always tell the nurse we don't want the "high powered" dose! If you get sick from it...it's not good. She gave us the "low dose" and we went along our way. Baby Sloane got pneumonia and an earache...geeez (she's better now) ...we think Samantha was sick with something over Christmas holidays but, we don't know (she's also better now). Then, there's church. Hand shaking...hugs. Trust me, we practically bathe in vanilla scented alcohol. But that injection...I know that's why I'm now ill. So...I'll be putting reminders on my calendars to Stay Away from all future injections! I am well (except for seasonal sinus garbage) almost all year long. The coughing, hacking...sore ribs...ridiculous! You get sick to help the body build antibodies...you'd think after 74 yrs, I'd be immune but no...ugggg. Anyway, I thought I'd let you know what's up. I haven't cooked...cleaned...done anything. just sitting and staring into space or at the TV. I'm getting better now but I swear...no more Flu Shots! The Pneumonia injection? I do take it every 10 yrs or so but no more flu shots...ever again. They are useless. The strains change even before you receive the shot so what's the use. I'm done.
Hope you all are well? If so...stay that way! I'm sorry if I haven't visited you...just don't feel much like staring at the computer screen right now...forgive me?
See you next week, hopefully.

I refuse the flu shot...I asked my dr. about the rumors of it being mixed with the covid shots/stuff and she didn't say anything-- actually avoiding me and that spoke volumes. Nope. I have decided to be proactive on about anything that is suggested I take or inject whatever...I hope you get to feeling better, so sorry you're sick, been there and done that and germs are everywhere. Keeping in prayer.
I sincerely hope you feel better soon.
My mom almost died taking the flu shot. I wont take them. Janice
Oh goodness. I am so very sorry Donna...The flu this year has been very bad in our area. We took the flu shot way back in October.. I was afraid for my husband not to get it. My kiddos never take the shot and (knock on wood) they honestly never get the flu. I may have to eat those words before the season is over...prayers that I won't. Prayer for your household...that everyone feels much better SOON, and no more flu. Take care...get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.
We do not take flu shots either. Had two in my lifetime and both times I was quite ill. It is same with covid shots. We got the first one and the booster when covid was an epidemic but we had already had covid. The second time I got covid I took the antivirals my doctor prescribed. The side effects from those was worse than the covid would have been. No more shots for me either! Before Christmas we both got flu or covid, not sure what it was, but we survived without any treatment. A virus will run it's course come what may. Hope you start to feel better soon and poor little Sloane. Glad she is better now. XXXXX
Hello! I am so sorry you have been unwell, my friend. I have heard it is especially bad this year. I pray you feel better soon. We got the flu shot one year, and honestly, that year was the most sick we had ever been. Go figure!
sorry you have been sick, prayers it will go away and you will feel better faster..
