Winchesterpoor: Sorry for your illness - I wish that would NOT have happened.
I just got back to Montana after tending to my elderly mother out on the west coast.
She was hospitalized in the I.C.U. at a large Puget Sound area hospital.
I visited her three times a day for 17 days!
I came down with an earache first and fought that off after a week then came down with a mild cold and fought that off after four days.
I can't positively blame the hospital trips but I have not had an earache in 40+ years that I can recall, and I have not had a cold in 17+ years (since I moved to Montana!).
I had to wear a mask to visit my mother on several days.
Sadly hospitals do attract sick folks - but flu and colds and that sort of thing being transmitted at hospitals is kind of a fact of life.
I hope you have recovered completely.
I did get to do two gunshows and 6 or 7 gunshops while I was out there though, so all was not lost.
Hold into the wind

P.S.: I agree with you all - stay away from hospitals at all costs.
