Attention, Attention...Get your flu shot!
I have just spent the last six days down with the flu. Good thing I am one of those healthy types, or I would still be totally miserable with a brick in my head and an ucky feeling in my stomach. I have managed to pass on the flu for the last few years, but this season should be a dilly! Kleenex should be on sale.
I just want to pass on a word of warning to anyone who knows someone who should get a flu shot. The elderly, the very young, people with chronic respiratory stuff, those that are in contact with the potentially ill. All these folks should get the flu shot. A dose of prevention is way better than a trip to the hospital.
Now I know that there are pros and cons to all immunizations. If you have any questions about this year's vaccine, by all means, contact a health professional. If you do want to get the shot, get it early. If you get it after you are already sick it is too late.
If you opt to skip the vaccine, stock up on your favorite cold cure. I am partial to chicken soup made with a chicken - none of that canned stuff. Also, a nice hot cup of tea with honey and lemon - don't forget the shot the booze. The booze might not cure the flu, but you might not care as much either.
May the health be with you.
