David,
I'm so sorry you've been ill. I didn't realize it until I saw this post.
I've been kinda distracted lately.
I truly hope you rebound back, and feel well very soon.
I was thinking of getting the shingles (Zostavax...sp?) vaccination when I see my doc in early Dec for a follow up (regular) visit...now I think I'd better talk it over with her, first. Maybe it would be better to wait, since I really want to get the flu shot at that visit.
