Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I hear you. It’s not perfect. We had hundreds of doses that were lost in transit to our state.
They are supposed to replace them as soon as possible.
The recovery rate is much higher with children. Some sadly have died.
I like what Baylor University has done. All students are required to be tested weekly.
College students are thought to be large spreaders of COVID-19.
Yay! Looks like you found the right man for the job!
Found the electrician that wired my house on FB. Sent a message he walked me through finding the right breaker to get the beeping to stop. Love that! Finally found the right breaker and all is quiet. Electrician is coming tomorrow to replace all of the batteries.
Contractor, you would think, would know that, he will learn something that I know and he doesn't!
gives me the willies LOL!! What a great show it is though, they really did a great telling the stories. And Robert Stack was a brilliant choice of host. His voice adds to the eery creepiness! But jeez I am a bit surprised at myself, I can’t believe after all the true crime shows and books I’ve read over the last 2 decades, that Unsolved Mysteries still gives me the willies! I thought I had outgrown it but I apparently not LOL!
Fantastic! Glad that he got it.
I'm a little embarrassed to say I'm kinda jealous. I really want to get this vaccine, but I think I'm awfully far down the list of eligibility. I'm hoping by April we ( hubby, daughter and I) can get it.
She tested positive for Covid today. She feels horrible.
She thought it was her allergies but when she couldn’t taste her coffee she got tested.
So, she has quarantined herself to the guest bedroom. Her SO does not want to get tested! She says he is stubborn. So, I asked if he was going to quarantine or spread it to others if he was positive. She says he is quarantining too.
Why would someone refuse getting tested if their partner has tested positive? I don’t get that at all!
I have never been a proponent of medical intervention for anxiety and stress, but when I became overwhelmed by caring for my Aunt and my Mother and the ensuing physical ramifications of being worn down, on my Doctors advise I gave in!
I'm so happy I did!!
I am now looking forward to so many things! Planting in the spring. Fly fishing when the ice is off. Auditions for the summer musical at our community theater!
When you're overwhelmed, you truly have a hard time seeing the forest for the trees!!!
The reason I tell you this, is because there is hope. And there's no shame in seeking a little help!!!
Caregiving isn't for wimps!!
It's ok to do what ever it takes to make yourself feel whole again!!
We're all in this great void of unappreciated and overwhelmed people!
Do whatever you can to care for yourself!!
Many blessings!!
I was able to transfer our original appointments to an elderly couple I know who weren't able to get timely appointmets!
As to side effects.. today I am completely exhausted. As in can barely move.. we went out for breakfast with our best couple friends and it was all I could do. I spent the rest of the day barely moving in front of the TV, except for one load of laundry. If this is the worst I am happy, and if the second shot is worse, I have a week off after it. hopefully just the tiredness and maybe some aches next time if I am lucky? I have no pain, not even at the injection site.. yay! I had the Pfizer shot
Thanks, I realize everyone still has to wear protection, especially with new mutations around.
I was curious if you had any inside information as a person working in a major hospital.
At least, we have vaccines available now. I am grateful for that.
I have more fear of COVID than the vaccine.
COVID is so unpredictable. Everyone reacts differently to it.
So many have died. It’s so sad. We all want it to be behind us.
I feel so badly for those who have died and their loved ones.
I am so grateful to people like you who care for patients. You are angels.
I find it unsettling when people downplay how serious COVID is, especially regarding the number of deaths and not recognizing the agony that families are going through.
Before COVID, people could visit their loved ones in hospitals or facilities when they were sick and dying.
People weren’t dying alone in mass numbers.
Funerals were planned and families could grieve in a normal way. Now people can’t even hug one another at a funeral.
There is nothing normal about this. It is heartbreaking.
Thank you for all that you do for patients.
How long after the second dose is a person considered having immunity?
Hubby and I plus our daughters are A+.
B negative.
