Hang in there Ed, that flu is bad news, I went to the VA last month and was talking with my doctor about it, he said the flu was a bad subject right at the time because one of their doctors had just died from it at only 45 years old. I avoid hospitals at all costs if I can because where would the virus be looming but in the hospitals just for starters. I've never had a flu shot in my life and I really don't plan on getting one.
