I'm sorry to hear that you were ill, it's definately no fun!

I have no idea why but I very seldom get sick. I am 54 years old and last September my wife and I traveled up to my son's home in Grass Valley, California to see my newest grandson who had a cold and I caught this little guy's cold and suffered for about a week after returning home.

It made me take stock of things because the cold hit me so hard but after considering things my wife and I realized that I hadn't been ill with anything since 1983 when the flu got me and I spent three days all alone in a darkened room while trying to get over it. The reason that I remember this is that I was almost delirious with the bug. But once every twenty years or so is acceptable!

The surprising part of this is that my wife works in the medical field and has constant contact with folks who are ill with one malady or another and even though at time she comes down with something and I nurse her through it I never get the bug myself, figure that one out.

Perhaps it has to do with all the inoculations I received while in the Army...?

I don't know what I've been doing right but I hope it continues into my older years, I don't want to have to fight off some bug when I'm too old to fight it off.

Chris.
