Over my lifetime I have had 3 influenza infections that put me in the hospital. I still have lung scarring caused by the pneumonia that took advantage of me even though I was over the flu. That took 6 months to recover my former endurance, and I was about 35 at the time.
Since we are considered elderly, we always get every high-potency vaccine available. We are about ready to get this year's flu shot.
As you all know, the Spanish influenza killed millions of people around the world at the end of World War I. I guess I'm saying this to encourage everyone to also get their flu shot.
May God bless you all!
There is a catch to saying this; God will never force anyone to be blessed or to go to Heaven, if they don't want it.
