Tina ~ Anyone with a compromised immune system is recommended to get the shot - although it only protects against the respiratory type of flu (which is why people with Asthma usually get it), not the stomach flu, so you could still end up puking your guts out even after getting the shot. LOL
So, that is why diabetics usually are on the list of recommended individuals - especially type 1 diabetics. I don't know why those with IR are recommended except that they are prone to type 2, so there is probably some consideration there. I don't usually get very sick either, but I guess where I don't have a job outside of my house I tend not to worry about it, kwim? If I am sick I end up on the couch while the kids play - if I am really bad (which has only happened a couple of times in the past 5yrs) DH takes care of kids. Sniffles happen all year long, but there isn't much anyone can do about that except teach good washing habits and keep the doors and windows open a bit each day.
Chris is still not feeling well, just pulled in early from work to crash on our bed which has been completely stripped as I was doing bedding today. LOL Poor guy.
I am glad your check up went well! DH is looking into it at some point, not sure if he will be a good candidate as he has some other issues besides just poor vision, but won't hurt to check in on it.
Laura ~ I am glad things are looking up - it is hard to leave the past behind us, but each step you take forward is always good! And if your DH is on board it makes the whole process easier. I know some people who swear by the dollar store tests, but I have a hard time trusting them - give me my EPT or ClearBlue Easy anyday.
So keep us posted!!! This is getting exciting!
BTW I love your avatar! What a great pic!!! And those boys just keep getting cuter!
My news...not much. LOL We had our house guests on Saturday and Sunday, my in-laws were out here to help with our hallway project and it is nearly closed in. We ended up running out of supplies so DH will have to get more this week and then it should be closed in and mostly finished this weekend. At least with the outside, we can work on the inside anytime now. Very exciting!
