I just posting a few random works of poetry, prose, rants and thoughts. Roleplaying, Video Games, Metal and Progressive Rock are themes woven through my posts. Also the blog serves as the home for my fledgling yuletide story, Krampus for Christmas. No Churnalism, No Journalism, simply opinions stated as facts!

Cellcept + Prograf = Get your flu shot
Sick again! It has been a bad year for me on the illness front. This is caused by the immune suppressant medication I take for my transplant. This is one of the side effect you have to live with after organ transplant. I have been lucky most of the time and have been much healthier than my seemingly regular immune system having wife. This year has been bad though, I seem to get every little stupid thing and they wear on for far longer than they have in the past. I am beginning to think it was my missing the flu shot, It normally feels like a waste of time. I seem to get the same winter season illness with or without the shot. But maybe it helps with the spring and summer bugs which are the ones I am getting this year. I also have cut down on my soda, as crazy as it sounds I think soda does kill off much of the mouth and stomach bugs I would have gotten. So the moral is if you have an organ transplant don't be stupid like me get your shots.

And just today 10/30/2012 I got my flu shot this year. I am advised the Stanford kidney clinic to get one early year. I grabbed one a few minutes ago to make sure I don't get so many late season problems this year.
