You are the ...I really do not know how you make it! You are the strongest woman on the planet. You need to rest and get yourself healthy so you can properly care for others. I don't have the answers for you, but I can pray for you!Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032317917976482505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879192449061145204.post-35208395301660384732011-02-09T18:21:40.368-05:002011-02-09T18:21:40.368-05:00Thanks for your comment Mellodee...
I never get ...Thanks for your comment Mellodee... <br /><br />I never get the flu shot nor will I ever get one. It doesn't cover all flus, just ones that they guess will be the tough strains. Vitamin D3 is the best prevention for illness. It's proven. I've even proved it.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I ran out of Vitamin D3 - it is what usually keeps me healthy and illnesses at bay. It's my own fault for getting sick. <br /><br />I need to make sure that I take my supplements too. I didn't and I am paying a price.<br /><br />Care Giving is hard on the care giver, no doubt. I am ready to retire from this job and hope I never have to do it again once my mom is in a home.Susan Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019940790074997076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879192449061145204.post-58276265232309131102011-02-09T14:45:34.796-05:002011-02-09T14:45:34.796-05:00For years, I got some version of the flu every win...For years, I got some version of the flu every winter....the full-blown, can't breathe, can't move, coughing, sneezing, aching, (hmm, I sound like a Nyquil ad!)flu. It usually lasted at least 2 weeks, sometimes more. I hated it. About ten years ago a doctor I knew convinced me to get a flu shot every year. I have ever since. I have not had any kind of flu since! None!

Thank you!<br /><br />I have seen a doctor. I was ready to go back today if I didn't feel better. I feel so good today, what a comparison to yesterday. <br /><br />I will lay down and rest all day to make sure this feeling sticks. I am taking my immune booster that the doctor gave me and it's helping too. <br /><br />Nothing that a little chicken soup can't fix. It's the only thing I want to eat. I lost 10 lbs so far - lousy way to loose weight but sure is a nice side effect. Almost worth the pain!<br /><br />Thanks for your comment Kathy, you definitely are a sweet friend that I wouldn't want to give Hiney Flu to!!!!!! :)Susan Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019940790074997076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879192449061145204.post-76719044929088937662011-02-09T10:03:45.520-05:002011-02-09T10:03:45.520-05:00I hope you feel better soon Sue!
You are having ...I hope you feel better soon Sue! <br /><br />You are having a terrible go of it, aren't you?<br />allow me to inject something that might make you smile just a little.<br /><br />As you know, dealing with the day to day rigors of care giving can raise our stress levels when we have just that one more thing added to the list.<br />Last year during a difficult time with Hubby, it seemed that all I heard was flu and swine flu everywhere! My Sister in law kept informing me of the importance of a vaccine and she carried on something fierce about it. The news and internet was covered up with talk about it. I was sick of hearing about it. Then one day my Brother in law, 63 downs syndrome, came home from school with a paper for me to read about, yep you got it, the FLU!! I took the paper, did a quick glance at the title it said Signs and Symptoms of the H1N1 FLU.<br /><br />Annoyed, I burst out saying "GREAT! Another Flu! I have never even HEARD of the Hiney Flu!"<br />I mistook the number ones as Letter I's. <br /><br />I had to re read and I sure made myself laugh at my stupidity! <br /><br />So I hope you don't have the Hiney flu. <br />I know you are opposed to chemical pharms but please see a Dr and try and care for yourself a little easier. <br /><br />I would hug you, but I don't want the hiney flu ;-)Kathy Lowreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866920774643291297noreply@blogger.com
