Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Truth be told, I do like playing with you, but I'm not happy when you toy with some of the other cats in the sandbox about things that have been scooped out for a while.

 

Nope.

 

I had meant to bring this over before. This seems like a great time to do it. Copped it from Facebook, so consider the source, but it scans correct to me.

An easy way to tell if you do indeed have pneumonia is to open your mouth and slowly exhale, continuing past where you would normally start to breathe in. Completely empty your lungs, forcing yourself to empty them as fully as possible. If you hear/feel a crackling, bubbling, you have fluid in your lungs. Take slow deep breaths, inhaling as fully as possible. Your intent is to get air as deep down into your lungs as you can, to open and keep them open.

Be aware that this will make you cough horribly. Hopefully you can cough up some goo and spit it out. You don't want the bottom third/half of your lungs to become cemented closed with thick mucous and impair your blood's oxygenation.

"HOW TO FIGHT COVID AT HOME

No one ever talks about how to fight Covid at home. I came down with Covid in November. I went to the hospital, running a fever of 103, a rapid heart beat, and other common symptoms that come with Covid. While I was there they treated me for the high fever, dehydration and pneumonia. The doctor sent me home to fight Covid with two prescriptions - Azithromycin 250mg & Dexamethason 6mg. When the nurse came in to discharge me, I asked her, "What can I do to help fight this at home?" She said, “Sleep on your stomach at all times with Covid. If you can’t sleep on your stomach because of heath issues sleep on your side. Do not lay on your back no matter what because it smashes your lungs and that will allow fluid to set in. Set your clock every two hours while sleeping on your stomach, then get out of bed and walk for 15-30 min, no matter how tired or weak that you are. Also move your arms around frequently, it helps to open your lungs. Breathe in thru your nose, and out thru your mouth. This will help build up your lungs, plus help get rid of the Pneumonia or other fluid you may have.

When sitting in a recliner, sit up straight - do not lay back in the recliner, again this will smash your lungs. While watching TV - get up and walk during every commercial. Eat at least 1 - 2 eggs a day, plus bananas, avocado and asparagus.These are good for Potassium. Drink Pedialyte, Gatorade Zero, Powerade Zero & Water with Electrolytes to prevent you from becoming dehydrated. Do not drink anything cold - have it at room temperature or warm it up. Water with lemon, and little honey, peppermint tea, apple cider are good suggestions for getting in fluids. No milk products, or pork. Vitamin’s D3, C, B, Zinc, Probiotic One-Day are good ideas. Tylenol for fever. Mucinex, or Mucinex DM for drainage, plus helps the cough. Pepcid helps for cramps in your legs. One baby aspirin everyday can help prevent getting a blood clot, which can occur from low activity. "

 

How many others have you been in contact with since you had the sniffles?

 

Official contact definition (15 minutes close): the 11 people who live in my house and that’s it. Not because I’m super moral but because it’s Christmas break and it’s impossible to see people or do things while my high-needs kid is home all day.

Brief, passing contact while masked: tons of drive-thru cashiers, a trip to the store, some kids at the park

 

Wins the interwebs for today. Congratulations! The check's in the mail.

 

Replying to insert my best wishes. Totally left that out earlier. Good luck!

 

Lots of people are way more cautious than me. I’m not one of those “stay inside for a year, order delivery and wipe it down” people.

I always wear a mask, but I go to parks, stores and outdoor dining. I sent my kid back to school when we had the option of staying on zoom. I did play pickup ice hockey, masked, a few times over the summer when cases seemed down.

 

One part lemon juice, two parts bourbon, three parts honey. You can mix up half a Mason jar of the stuff and use an ice tea spoon to dose yourself when you start coughing, as much as feels right. You can also half fill a coffee cup with it and add hot water for a hot toddy. Old school remedies can be pretty good.

 

Dawn Wells, Maryanne from Gilligan's Island, dead from Covid.

 

That sucks.

 

Guess God needed a coconut cream pie.

Childhood crush of so many. And seemed as down-to-earth as her character.
