Oh, my. Very hard to read this. I can't imagine losing my mom or dad. That has to be the hardest thing in the world. I'm 35 and still expect my mom and dad to be here for me. I'm so sorry you have to live without your mom.

I see it this way about the SV. We're all exposed now and then because we live life and interact with other people. The longer you go without getting it, the better your chances of not getting it again in the future. I calculated that I've gone 7200 days without puking. I'm not doing anything different now than I have ever done. So there is no reason for me to be any more likely now to get the SV than any other time. Since I have gone 7200 days without problems, that tells me the chances are VERY SMALL that I will get anything.

Since you've gone 7 years without V'ing from anything at all - the chances of you getting anything are also very small. It's just unlikely you will get sick.

Thanks,
