Llama, that was a close call. What if you did pass out, fall and hit your head? Please take care of your body and it'll take care of you.

Polar: I was actually sitting down in my auto - and then sitting in the hospital. I asked the nurse who checked people in for food and said "I am ready to faint." She brushed me off. I knew that I was in serious trouble - got a sandwich eventually. I knew I was need of my DD and SIL - no matter what they were doing at the time.

LLama, you need to always eat especially when going through anything stressful. Please take care of yourself.

Llama, hope you feel better real soon. Soup is usually comforting and make sure you drink plenty of fluids,. Take care of yourself.

Llama, please take care of you just like I need to take care of me. We aren't any good to others if we don't take care of ourselves (I say this with care).

You give so much to this forum and are always there for others. Let us be there for you now okay?

That said, when I get stressed either I stop eating or I eat too much. I have no idea why that is, just doesn't make sense.

Anyway, I hope you feel better!
Hugs to you, Jenna

Really pleased that my 19 yr old son was able to get his first covid jab this morning at a pop up walk in centre. This weekend loads of places across England have opened up for over 18s to just turn up and get jabbed. Theatres, sports stadia, fire stations, churches, even buses! It's part of a big push to get everyone to have had at least one jab before we hopefully remove final restrictions later on in July. It was wonderful to see people from all backgrounds queuing patiently (we Brits are good at that!) and chatting, whilst socially distanced, to complete strangers while they waited - all with a common aim to get jabbed. It was very uplifting.

I was surprised when I discovered the UK is still working on first doses given that you have a national health system and started months before us in Canada, we are now accelerating 2nd doses for fear Delta and others spark another wave. (My August appointment has been re-booked for early July)

We had been focusing on 2nd doses for the over 40s until recently but our target has always been to offer all over 18s a jab by the end of July, so we've reached that a month early. The Delta variant is a problem though. 90% of our cases are that one now. Cases have been increasing quite rapidly over the past few weeks but thankfully the vaccines are keeping hospitalisations and deaths low. Transmission is being driven by the young who are mostly unvaccinated at the moment. I think the UK will need to allow children to be vaccinated, if they want schools to resume properly instead of the constant year group closures that have dogged our system since last September. I feel we are on a knife edge right now...

We are vaccinating 12+ with Pfizer but because that was last group to be approved few have more than one dose, still nothing approved for the little ones though. All those millions of vaccines we ordered are finally flooding in so it's just a matter of getting them into arms.

I want to send a shout out to everyone in BC and northern AB (and the American PNW too) - I hope you all have access to air conditioning, those temperatures are nuts!!!

Llama - note to self - must eat regularly. It's part of self care!!!! Stay well.

Chris - I read about the increase of in cases in the U.K and the Delta variant. Hopefully more and more will be vaccinated and the case numbers will drop. Tt looks like those who have had two shots are pretty well protected,

cw - thank you. I am so glad I have air conditioning, Good to see vaccinations on the rise in Ontario. My family here have all had two shots or are booked for their second shot. It's a relief.

What a rollercoaster ride this pandemic is.

The heat wave in BC is said to be so unusual that 60% of people in Vancouver do not have a/c!

That is so very hot!

As the temperatures rise, more people are getting out and enjoying the summer days, but that also means the risk of heat-related illnesses.

Heat-related illnesses can cause serious harm, so prevention is the best action you can take. According to AccuWeather, hydration is the number one key to staying safe. This also means avoiding alcoholic or caffeinated liquids.

DH and I had 2nd shots over 3 weeks ago now. Data suggests this gives good protection against serious illness, including the Delta variant. Feel sorry for our DS though. He should be partying and enjoying a formal dinner to mark the end of Uni term before coming home on wednesday. Instead they were advised an hour or so ago to just leave for home asap as virus cases have doublled there in the past few days. He is now coming home tomorrow morning, and tonight most of his friends who are still there are isolating. What a disappointing end to a horrible academic year.

True on the Pacific NW - record heat wave. Pray for those in the area - cw and golden.

Llama, hope you’re feeling a bit better now. When you are busy taking care of others your own needs can end up being overlooked. Dehydration as well as skipping food can make you feel unwell quite quickly.

glad - I have seen photos of lovely tattoos on ladies who have had mastectomies. Personally I wouldn't want the pain of the process. Not sure what I would want if I were in your situation. Thinking of you and appreciating your positive attitude, Vikings strong 👊

Finally got first Moderna jab today. Had to wait because of possible lymph gland involvement. Just a bit of a sore arm so far. because of the timing will probably not have second jab in four weeks, may be six, we will see.

Shopping the Thera Cane, should I get the cheaper LiBa @ $19.99?
(1)
Report

Sounds like the LiBA has a bit different design that they claim solves some issues that some people have experienced with the $30.00 variety. I have only used the $30.00, haven't experienced problems resulting from the use of it. So I can't say, Send.

One of my assistants just got one and loves it! She jokes she doesn't need her husband anymore.😃

Just finished watching ‘Soul’ on Disney. I have been wanting to see it for awhile, but never got around to it.

Do watch it if you get the chance. Yeah, it’s an animated Disney film, but don’t feel that it’s only for kids. It’s actually a fun film for any age.

The setting for the film is in NY. Another fantastic area for jazz! The whole thing works, from the animation, the storyline and of course the music!

Anyway, New Orleans born and raised, Jon Batiste is in it!

You may also know Jon from ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.’ Let me tell you that Jon deserves his Grammy! He comes from an extremely talented New Orleans family of musicians, like many other musicians here.

I really enjoyed the movie! I am so glad that our musicians are playing live again! Our city is slowly coming back to life. It felt dead without our music!

It’s very sad that some of our fantastic restaurants are permanently closed, due to Covid. I am thrilled that our music is making a comeback!
