So sorry that you’re ailing,
so sorry that you’ve got the flu.
I find to keep from wailing,
this is what is best to do:
have a crisp and cold lime beer,
swish it round, then swallow,
and then when the palate’s clear,
go ahead and follow
the beer with almost frozen wine
(sweet red is quite the best).
It soothes the sore throat every time
and gives a blissful rest
as well and true, it really should,
as Cana’s first miracle food.
We haven’t met …yet. Your agency is definitely on my radar. As for this flu that’s going around (same here) I strongly recommend an oximeter for home use, this way you can keep your doc informed. One night, as I was praying it came to me to call my grown daughter’s asthma doctor (pulmonologist). He said a lot of this was going around, etc. Turns out I had a partial collapsed lung. Not life threatening but sure put things in perspective! You are now included in my prayers for sure.
Oh my goodness. Dreadful. Praying His arms of mercy wrap you in rest.

Are you aware of the efficacy of Vitamin C? Said to wash out every three hours. Therefore, I take at least nine grams a day. IVs of it cure viruses, cancer, and help anything, but, of course, our medical system won’t use what is sensible. I refer you to orthomolecular.org. for sensible advice. or homeopathy. Or naturopathy. Also suggest reading “Death by Medicine.” I pray that you are already knowledgeable about the fallacies of Big Pharma, know about God’s way of health, and get well soon.

Praying for a quick recovery! We need you out doing what you’re doing!! What a blessing you are to the Christian community of readers and writers. Drink lots of water. “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Eph 3:20-21

Dear Steve,
I’m sorry to read that you are suffering from the flu. You are in my prayers for a swift recovery!
Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! I’ve had three bouts of sickness in the last three months (one of them a really nasty case of COVID), so I really feel for you. Praying for you, Sir!

So sorry you’re under the weather. I enjoyed shingles for December. Neither is fun. Hope you’re feeling back to normal soon.

I’m one of many praying for you. God doesn’t answer prayers by majority rule, but it helps to show that we care.

Thank you for all the “get well” messages! It was unexpected but welcome.
Slowly on the mend.
So…. stop reading these comments and get back to writing! 🙂
