Waiting game

Hi everyone, I don't have the flu jab, mainly because I have so much pain in my arm and it makes me feel so unwell, doctor not happy as I have severe COPD, not had the jab for last 3 years, touch wood do not suffer from colds flu etc. No covid follow ups either. Call me stupid, but we all do what is right for us. Well I have had all my CT scans, Nuclear scans, all to be assessed by my Respiratory specialist on the 8th Nov. Then I will find out if he think I can have this lung surgery or not. As I had Respiratory failure during my last two operations not sure what will happen.

Breathing bad as usual, on oxygen now, but chin up. Wishing you all well. Take care in this damp weather.

I too react badly to the flu jab as did my father, haven't had a flu jab for over 20 years, was so Ill after it!

At the end of the day- It's down to people whether to have the jabs or not. I have a lot of pain in my arm and it makes me wary - Flue Jabs I find ok.

I hate the COVID jabs and had the vaccine in lockdown, and just one booster,

None since then but having one tomorrow, my carer and wife Anne had hers, so I decided to go have it. I would rather not and maybe I won't again. I think it's a hard decision - Best of luck with you results - I am waiting also..
