Swine Flu; Swine Flew; Swine Flue ???

I am glad for my editor who looks at these posts before they go out. Simple things like words that sound alike can confuse me at times. So just to keep things square here, I am going to talk about a sickness, and not flying pigs or pigs and chimneys.

I try to mention to my family and friends that due to the fact that I am immuno-supressed, there are certain things I need to change in my life to protect my health. Some simple things like protecting my hands from germs in the soil should I work in the garden, washing off completely all produce and fruit (no more sampling the black berries right off the vine) and how I interact with people. The flu season will be here soon. I would encourage everyone that knows me to step up the precautions this year to help me. I will not be receiving visitors unless they are two weeks past their last vaccination. This includes family members. Also, I need people to get the shots with the dead virus and not the nose spray. The nose spray is with a live virus. This will help develop the immune response for healthy people, but it can become the source of an infection for me. So please get your shots, and do so with the needle. Thank you.
