Weak immune systems

As a heart transplant recipient, I know what it means to have a compromised immune system.  You always have to be on guard and use strategic planning when doing almost anything. Colds, flues, allergies, and nearly anything that causes physical distress is amplified when you have a weakened immune system.

Because the flu season hasn't really taken off yet this season, doesn't mean that it won't.  I already know 2 people with pneumonia and many others with severe colds and sinus infections. Many medical professionals are concerned that March could result in the flu becoming prevalent.

So, those of you with weakened immune systems should take action to insure that you don't get sick. You know the drill. Wash your hands, rest, vitamins, eat right, etc. It's up to you to stay well--if you can.
