General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Tommy,

Yes, a friend of mine had a similar experience, and ended up in hospital with a collapsed lung.

It is always difficult deciding when you really need to seek medical assistance isn't it.

I had flu in 1958. That was the Asian Flu. It was bad, but all the rest of the household were far more sick than me, one ending up hospitalised. I think the whole district were ill: we got a food parcel, fresh fruit etc provided by the local Baptist Chapel. Not that we attended there, but it was the nearest place of worship to where we lived.

Fortunately, I do not think I have had flu again since then.

And, prior to this, I cannot recall when last I had a cold: must have been decades ago. So I guess I can't complain.
