Hope oyu feel better!
Hope you get better soon!
Thank you. Just an update it is not as bad as I thought. The lungs are clear. It is just a bad flu. Well be off the next few days. Taking Tylenol 3s with codeine.
Glad to hear that. Get well soon!
Thank you Corina. I hope so for Christmas.
Take care of yourself! This is the time when we make our money. Hope you feel better soon.
Caveman…thanks buddy. Not this year I am afraid. Still off.
