What bugger for you!
My young friend was an example for all of us. He lived life to the full. Sometimes I wondered if he was drinking too much but I reckoned maybe he'd been told he wouldn't live to be an old man.
In other news ... I had the flu injection on Saturday and have felt like shit ever since. Some years I've felt slightly off for a couple of days, but this year takes the biscuit. Keep worrying I'm dying of some terrible malignancy.

Why have you resisted?

Sorry to hear that. It truly is evil. The knock on effect on those affected is sometimes overlooked and they need support too.

Never been a great believer in vaccinations and so prefer to take my chances. Also don't want to feel crap for a week as I have my wife to look after and that is enough challenge as it is.
As it happens I was speaking to her about it only this morning and she also doesn't want me to have one.

That's an interesting view. I've had the flu jab for many years & also had the pneumonia one. I suffered a sore and stiff arm for a few days once and felt I had a bit of a cold and achey body for a few days with another. My Carers have them because if they got flu I would be stuffed. Have you considered help with caring for your wife? It's a tough job being a lone Carer.

Oh, I do have help. We have a carer come in the morning to take care of her personal washing etc.and empty the commode (something I simply cannot do! 
) and in the afternoon to empty the commode again, otherwise I do everything else which is enough.

I'm sure it is. The contribution Family Carers make to society and the money they save the government is not sufficiently recognised or recompensed in my opinion and the few support services that have been available for Carers are being cut all the time.
Our carers are paid peanuts with no expenses for petrol. It's a disgrace.

Sadly I think that seems to be the case with with that job wherever you are. I don't think anyone works in community services for the money.
Loopey is going to get some bespoke orthotics. Ooer missus!
Hope it goes well for you. 
I'm not sure if that's shoes or teeth, but I'm gonna go with shoes.
You nearly put your foot in your mouth.

Thank you. It won't be for a while, I only got referred yesterday.

Let's just say there may be a new series of The Bionic Woman later this year.
