You have my sympathies-well, somewhat. Could you move to another state that does not require a flu shot in order to make a living?

At the end of July, when I got the couf, I would have gladly paid to have been asymptomatic! I practically slept whilst sitting on the toilet... And yes, I know all about the flu-I somehow managed to catch both strains in 2015-AFTER having had a damned flu shot! So much for that BS! It was bad enough but having the couf was worse and lasted almost 3 times longer. Strange how you never hear a word about the flu these days...

I’m 62, overweight and diabetic. Wore the face diaper, used the hand sanitizer, did all the hand washing and other rec’s religiously-still got it... and survived. The wife has a bad ticker-one heart attack, a bypass, has CHF, is also diabetic, has a defib/pacemaker implant due to cardiomyopathy, did all the recs along with me, and got it also. She tested positive for 9 weeks straight. Still has some lingering issues but it could have been much worse. I was VERY worried about her but somehow-and thank God-she’s still here.

My prayers for you both ‘’snuffy’’. I'm 64 with a pacemaker my wife is 74 with asthma and we both work in hospitals. We're lucky that we do. Three times in the last two years I ended up a patient in the ER I work in with blood pressure through the roof.

It's under control now but we're both in no shape, fiscally or physically to pack up and move.
