first wife died from leukemia

they did chemo several time....each time the immune system is suppressed she was at advanced risk.

you just take precautions....no buffets, no salad bars, avoid crowds etc etc.

Friend had a double lung transplant ---she is doing great---but the restrictions still apply

funny at church they had communion yesterday and i declined....do not like the way the bread is handled....I am still aware and my wife has been dead some 30 years now....

get your damn shots...if not for you...get them for others
