I used to get extremely severe bouts of flu, which aggravated my asthma. Genuinely thought I might die a couple of times, such as when living in the highlands of PNG a long way from any town when the Hong Kong flu pandemic swept through in 1969-70, killing lots of people. Under medical advice I started having flu shots as soon as they became available. I have never had the flu since.

Hi there COSSOMBY...

That sounds like a brilliant outcome for managing to stop those dreadful bouts of Influenza. As you say whenever you got the flu, it exacerbated your Asthma attacks, even triggering them as well perhaps? Asthma is a truly debilitating disease, and if severe enough, can prove fatal without any medical intervention at least. I'm so pleased to hear, you've finally beaten the yearly flu season, with annual flu vaccinations. Take care.

Hi there BELLY old friend...

I certainly hope you're taking care of yourself as well. No heroics, keeping yourself rugged up against the cold, and having the necessary vaccinations as recommended by your GP. As we age, we need to look after ourselves and each other, and once past seventy-five, recognise we're no longer invincible, and must heed sound medical guidance. Yet most of the blokes I know, don't for some crazy reason, unbeknown to me?
