Folks that get flu frequently die of pneumonia
A few years ago my mother was in the hospital. She went to be with the Lord while there.
One of the things I remember the doctor, an elderly doctor, telling us, is that pneumonia is one of God’s gifts to the elderly. I guess people die from pneumonia without a lot of pain or knowledge of what’s going on.
My mother didn’t pass because of pneumonia. It was a concern but she passed because of infection related to a surgery. That’s another story but I remembered what this doctor said about pneumonia. I’ll add that I didn’t have a lot of confidence in this doctor and I don’t know if it’s true or not.
My mother’s father passed away with pneumonia when he was 33. I am not sure if he had the flu before that or not.
