Tom,
Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad.This years flu is some nasty stuff.
Got my shot the second week of october. $15 and 10 minutes total.
The only one in my family that hasn't gotten one yet is my dumba$$ brother-in-law. Thinks the shot could/might give him the flu.
If you hadn't turned so OLD last sunday,you might be up and about by now.
Happy (belated) Birthday Tom and get well soon !
