elm-- your comment about the flu shot reminded me- i can't take the 'normal' flu shot (no surprise there!lol) because i am allergic to thimerisol, a preservative used in eye products alot. it's a very rare allergy, but the good news is, you can now get a thimerisol-free flu shot at walgreens. the shot isn't cost free. but hopefully will allow me to be flu-free!
4paws-- you should be feeling better with all these good wishes! hope you are, and the good wishes are still headed your way!
