I've had the flu once in my life.  I refuse to get the flu shot unless required to.

Just once?  You are lucky.  I hadn't started to get it until recently, but it is a job requirement.

 

A lot of kids in town were also getting it as a preventative because there are two children in their school who are on chemo at the moment.

I've had tonsillitis more times than I can count and now suffer from abscesses in my throat and can't take amoxicillin because it's ineffective for me which means more expensive antibiotics.  I once spent a week off work with an IV catheter in my arm so I could get daily IV treatments for my abscessed tonsil.   BUT just the flu once, when I was 7 turning 8.  I hate orange jello because of it.  Dr told my mom to get me to eat anything at all and jello would be fine.  All we had was orange.  🤮  I don't recall much of the time since it was when my dad kicked me out of the house so a lot was happening then. 

 

I had the flu shot when my ex FIL was suffering from his cancer and needed radiation.   But otherwise I don't because I don't work places that require it.  People who get the shot always end up sick.  I never get it and don't.

That sounds terrible and not just the tonsillitis, but also the dad part.

 

The Dane didn't get the flu vaccine and I'd say he has it the worst. He was having such a difficult time of it yesterday morning, I almost brought him into the ER.

without the flu vaccine, if you get it, it is worse than if you get it after the flu vaccine.

Is everyone better now?

Just skimmed the thread. 

Hope all you that are sick feel better too.

 

We don't get the flu shot here either. The Jedi couldn't even if we normally would. The kids and I had a terrible cold. Ok well I had a terrible cold and since I'm so warned(ok that word doesn't look right any way i try)  down it just hits me hard. 

 

Took the kids to the HD workshop yesterday too. It's so nice outside today and should be tomorrow too. We've been outside and prepping my yard for my ducks. 

 

Ok off again time to feed the crew!

Sick, but not deadly sick.  Everyone but baby still running a fever.

Same here as well. Unfortunately I got it when I was deployed in Iraq at the time. I was literally hating life for a good couple days and I was even forced to stand guard duty while sick as dog.

Retrieved Mini-B., we retrieve wee man.

Dinnered at Wendy's with use of coupon, ingest we & wee man.

Conquered laundry, another week down the tubes man.

It makes a better man outta ya...

 

In the private sector, this integrity separates you from the scammers. 

 

Christmas time, one of the girls here decided that she needs her tooth pulled (Bull). Anyway, she was out for the entire holiday, 2 weeks. 

When I found out, I wanted to launch her. But it was decided among the bosses that it's better to let her face the cold shoulder from her co-workers.

I think Turtle's fever broke. She was 102-103.5 for about 30 hours. This morning she's 98.6, without medication for 9 hours. So...Keeping fingers crossed.

It's Chinese New Year's eve. The day of family reunion. 

 

Many chinamen in mainland must be stuck in days long traffic trying to get back to the home village for the "reunion dinner".
