Hey, @Smiles Jr. !

[thistlebloom]

Yesterday I was splitting firewood and look what I found!
It made me think of you. I hope you are mending and getting some relief from the pain you have been feeling.

Awesome.

 

[Smiles Jr.]

Thank you so much for thinking of me. Is it OK if I use the smiley log for my avatar?

This injury has been a real hassle. Much more than I ever dreamed it could be. I have been to 12 physical therapy sessions without much improvement. Just lots of pain. I'm a very active guy and this is killing me.

Oh yeah! Now I have the flu. I got a flu shot in October but the Dr. told me that the flu strain that I have was not covered by the shot. Oh great! This one is really, really bad. I've been in bed almost 16 hours a day this week.

What's that saying? Cheer up things could be worse - I cheered up and sure enough things got worse.

Oh man, I feel for you! How long have you had the flu? And being in bed that much is probably not helping your leg recovery, either. I sure hope you get better soon.

Gheesh! Man when it rains, it pours down on you. I never get flu shots, they are always a season behind, so why bother? It stinks that you have these problems, bad enough to be in such pain. Now you are in pain and sick too. I am so sorry that you are going through this.

Maybe @thistlebloom will gift wrap that log and ship it to you. It could be a door stop or object de' art or just a whimsical reminder that you are valued on TEG and we wish the best for you.

This might be good Indiana weather for some extra time in the sack, Smiles. Lots of fluids. I hope you regain your Juice - soon!

"A new version of the vaccine is developed twice a year as the influenza virus rapidly changes." (link)

"One reformulation of the influenza vaccine is for the Northern Hemisphere, and the other is for the Southern Hemisphere. Both recommendations are trivalent, i.e. featuring three strains." (link)

"Since the 2012–13 season, the WHO recommendations have also included the formulation of an annual quadrivalent vaccine, featuring an additional B-strain."


This thing may have a case of the freckles! Sending out samples for lab analysis would be a good idea!

That's terrible news smiles. No one likes to be sick. Spring is around the corner so take care of yourself now so you can be healthy and strong for all that work.

Smiles Jr., you absolutely can use it for an avatar!
And @baymule , I think that's a great idea!
I'd love to send Smiles Jr. a Happy Stick! I just hope I haven't burned it...

Smiles, I hope that this will soon turn around for you and you can get healthy soon.

Hope you get healed up soon, @Smiles Jr. We got the shot and got the flu too, but it did end up being less severe at least.
