football, medical stuff

FOOTBALL
ok we love football at our house      could retire and just watch sports of all kind and could be happy      maybe will wait for the nursing home for that  
love the cowboys      have been a fan even when living in different states    even when they were bad     even when the owners were/are distasteful
how about them cowboys!!!!

we follow high school college and professional football     thank goodness for the dvr

MEDICAL STUFF
flu shots are available right now     just dont get them yet      most physicians get their flu shots in mid october       if you have a health problem-diabetes, cancer, heart disease asthma emphysema-are on immunosuppressive drugs for eg rheumatoid  multiple sclerosis ulcerative colitis etc  or are elderly or are very young  you should get yours first     there apparently is no shortage      the swine hini flu  is in this shot  

in my practice last year all we saw all winter was the swine hini flu

there is a salmonella vaccine that they are giving new hens in the egg industry that will prevent the salmonella outbreaks that we saw recently     other answer is free range organic farm raised eggs

HEALTH CARE LAW INFO-your child up to 19 years old can not be denied
health coverage for preexisting conditions     and can not be dropped because
of preexisting conditions

your children can be left on your health insurance policy now until they are 26 years old

this law should have been enacted back when i was in high school
and we probably would not have some of the problems we have today in health care
