Hey, Family

I was going to write this privately to Sandy and Roberta (the nurses on the
list, sorry if I missed anyone) but thought I'd post to everyone to get your
ideas.  We're being given flu shots at work next week and I'm wondering if I
should get one.  I never had one before and am wondering if they really do
prevent the flu.  It seems to me as if folks get the flu from the shot and
if that's true there doesn't seem to be much point though they say you get a
milder form of it.  I've heard that flu mutates in the body anyway, so the
flu you're getting in the shot won't be the same that folks around you have
and you can still catch the mutated form from other folks, so it doesn't
seem much point to that either.  But I don't want to get sick.  Grin.

So what do you think?  Should I get the shot?  Remember, if I get sick,
you'll have to put up with my whining (and you know how bad I am when I'm
sick, with nobody to nurse my poor self back to health).  So let me know.
Smile.
