• Covid update

    From Dave Smith@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 24 12:00:17 2024
    It's bad news for Bwyan but I appear to have made it through. I still
    get the occasional bits of nasal and lung congestion but not in the
    volume that I endured over the last week.

    The coughing and hacking has cost me a lot of sleep. Then in Wednesday
    and Thursday I went to bed at 10 am and was up every hour to two to
    clear out mucus and phlegm, which was by then a lot more cooperative.
    Last night I want to bed early again and woke up around 3 am feeling
    like I was drowning. I first cleared my sinuses and then my lungs and
    between the two I expelled at least a cup of sticky slime. I then slept through until 9:30. I had to get rid of some more, but it there was a
    lot less and it came out easily.

    I had hoped that 6 doses would keep me from getting it but it became increasingly obvious I was bound to get it at some point. The remained
    that the illness would be much less severe. Thank goodness. It was bad
    enough getting a mild dose of it. I sure would not want to have had a
    really bad bought of it.

    Dave, since this is not "food - related", why on earth would your personal health details be of *any* "interest" to anyone here...???

    Dave did inform us earlier in the week he had picked up the Covid virus.

    And ever since we were hankering for a "Covid update" from Dave Smith!

    Well, I am surprised he had such a severe case especially after all the injections and boosters he'd received.

    It he didn't end up in the hospital, it wasn't all that severe.

    That could mean 2 things. Either the injections and boosters don't
    help much. Or he might have ended up in hospital if he hadn't had
    them.

    I am not sure how severe it was considering the nature of the disease
    and and how many people it has killed. I had not had a cold or flu in >years. Maybe I was wimping out because I was not used to being ill. I
    have certainly never had one that had be dealing with that much phlegm
    and mucus.

    Did you weigh the amount?

    Maybe not dissolute enough. My wife gave up booze for Lent so my
    consumption dropped significantly. Maybe that is what I had done wrong.

    Here's a simple something you should be able to eat, if that's a
    problem.

    1 cup chicken broth. (add some chicken broth powder if it's too weak)
    4 sticks of spaghetti or linguini, broken up

    Simmer until pasta is ready, Sip, snagging a noodle bit as you like.
    You are apt to be dehydrated even if you don't feel it.

    True. I am happy with the results. I am still a little under the
    weather but I feel soooo much better than I did over the last few
    days.

    Here's a simple something you should be able to eat, if that's a
    problem.

    1 cup chicken broth. (add some chicken broth powder if it's too weak)
    4 sticks of spaghetti or linguini, broken up

    Simmer until pasta is ready, Sip, snagging a noodle bit as you like.
    You are apt to be dehydrated even if you don't feel it.



    I was thinking of scooting over to the local Vietnamese restaurant to
    pick up a bowl of Pho.

    All he needs to do is grab his mask and do it take out. Our local
    'Pho97' (I think that's the name) has a drive through window. It used
    to be a McDonalds, I've been told.

    She slept almost all day Saturday and Sunday. She was up and about this morning. She is still ill, but a feeling so much better today. We had a
    bonus morning. A friend of hers stopped by with a care package that
    included some chicken noodle soup. It made a nice lunch for us.

    I had covid in early March of 2020 (before the first lockdown).
    I had my food delivered - the delivery person put it down on the stoop,
    stepped back, then I opened the door and picked it up, both of us wore
    masks.
    I didn't want to put anyone at risk.

    Neither of us live in OZ. By the time you are mostly recovered, a mask

    He was barely recovered and probably still walking around in a cloud

    covid was pretty much international. Maybe you missed that bit?

    All he needs to do is grab his mask and do it take out.

    I think the recommendation is to stay home when you have covid, and
    not to scoot over to the local Vietnamese restaurant.

    I had covid in early March of 2020 (before the first lockdown).
    I had my food delivered - the delivery person put it down on the
    stoop, stepped back, then I opened the door and picked it up, both of
    us wore masks. I didn't want to put anyone at risk.

    That's about when Josh died from it. The Navy was locked down (all >branches did).

    Really? From what D says was no more serious than the common cold?

    Even a common cold can kill vulnerable people.

    True, though it is usually limited to those who are vulnerable for one
    reason or another.

    No more serious than the common cold? I had thought it was a cold. I
    spend the first 4-5 days thinking that I was fighting off a cold. I went through all the stages I associate with a cold, frequent urination,
    trouble sleep, strange feeling in my sinuses and moving down into my
    throat. I thought it was a cold and that I was doing a good job keeping
    it at bay. Then I had the lung congestion and it just wasn't moving.

    I definitely recommend a cough syrup that breaks up the congestion and
    helps to clear out the lungs.

    But you'd have to be on death's door already. Covid killed lots of
    healthy people.
