Sick of Being Sick!
I understand that you really are not supposed to get the flu from receiving a flu shot – due to the fact that they are essentially giving you a “dead” virus/strain/whatever but, it is hard to believe that when both Julian and I have gotten sick – oddly after receiving a flu shot. This was the first time either of us had taken advantage of the free flu shots that the University offers. Sounded like a good idea after Sharon mentioned that being around the baby, I should really think about it. Now that I ponder it….I don’t think Sharon was too anxious to get one…..hmmmmmmm.
So tiny, yet so deadly, non?
I’m tired of feeling like someone is standing on my chest; I’m tired of my equilibrium being off due to the fluid in my ears; I’m tired of coughing up green phlegm stuff – yeah THAT’S really pretty; and I’m tired of feeling so tired…and rundown….it SUX!
The moral of this story is that in my 39.5 years I have never received a flu shot and never been burdoned with the flu. Bronchitis…yes. Sinus infections…yes. Head cold….yes. Influenza….NO! So, from now on I will kindly pass on the annual flu shots and take my chances. I normally like to hedge my bets in most things but, yeah…not so much with this.
