I Feel Like a Super Hero

I got my Flu Shot this year. I haven't had one since I was a teenager. The reason is that I would swear that I was even more sick than normal that year so, I really believed that the Flu Shot was the reason.

So, here is the thing. I get either a severe cold, or the flu every single year of my life. And, when other people think a cold or the flu, they think that they will be out of commission for a week or so. But, when I get sick, I get sick like it is my job. If I get a cold or the flu I manage to be sick for no less than a month and usually am not all better until 3 months have passed. And, then I am only healthy for about a week before someone else manages to pass some bug they only carried for 7 days to my already weak and compromised immune system. Nice huh? Nope...I didn't think so either.

So, in light of this year's Flu Vaccination Campaign of: "if you don't get the flu shot, you aren't just fluing yourself", I decided to get the Flu Shot. Not because I give a rat's batooty about "Fluing" someone else. But, because someone is always "Fluing" me. I would like...no...LOVE...to spend this Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year without coughing my lungs out and carrying around a box of tissues and a pocket full of nose drippings inside old tissues.

So, that is why I feel like a Super Hero today. I got my Flu Shot the 13th (10 days ago) and am feeling pretty good. Not that your average Super Hero tends to need luck or to have others wish him or her "good luck", but...wish me luck anyway! I would love to see my first healthy Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year in all of my 34 years of life!
