having just got up at 5 pm I feel much better, no fever much better cough control. My chest/ribs hurt from coughing so much.
A friend of mine brought over chicken soup. It was delicious.
I really hope that this is not covid and just a cold. People are saying it could be a false positive.
don't know.

I think I've read that COVID tests are like pregnancy tests: much more likely to have a false negative than a false positive.

At least around here the numbers are so high that if it looks like a duck and quacks (coughs) like a duck it's nearly certainly COVID.

Sorry.

bizi who is definately better.

My eyes are watering now and I am very tired.
I feel like going to bed and it is only 4;30,

but had a hard time getting to sleep last night. After sleeping
so much during the day. Got up at 3;30am coughing so took cough

syrup and I Had to take zyprexa and requip for restless legs
from the zyprexa.

So I will stay up until tonight so I can get to sleep right after seinfeld.
my flonace I take at night wonder if that is why I could not get to sleep.
bizi
any opinions?

I feel a lot better this evening.
I skipped the last dose of cough syrup to see if
I still had a cough and I am not coughing.
so that is great news!
Between the zyrtek, flo nase and what was in the cough syrup.
that is a lot of antihistamine!
Still alcohol free except for what is in my non alcoholic beers.
My previous PDOC discontinued her blessings of klonipin...I had been on it for years .5mg. years!!!!!
After coming out of the inpatient unit where I somewhat stabilized with drawl from geodon rapidly
.thru me into mania/psychosis.
I found a new provider. a nurse practitioner who let me keep the klonipin to sleep 1mg and
.5mg in the am. I am afraid she will talk to my old pdoc they know each other.
Ethically they can't talk about me with out my consent right!?

I am feeling much better symptoms are much better.

I am still tired and sleep a lot.
only coughed acouple of times today
and it was a dry cough. all of the antihistamines

that I was taking sure worked to dry me up.
my voice is getting back to normal, which is good.
Jeff has been cooking and it has been delicious.
We had salmon for dinner tonight with brocolli and

butternut squash with onions and carrots.
It was a prepaired dish from whole foods.

He cooked the veggies first for 25 minutes on 375

then put the salmon back on and cooked another 20 minutes.
every thing was wonderful.
I am very full. This is my 3rd NON-alcoholic partake IPA.

Think I should quit at 3. It has been 10 weeks since I have had a real beer.

I am feeling like I want to go to bed,

but want to stay up and watch seinfeld with jeff at 10.
I can hold out until then.
We usually watch 2 episodes.
good night to those who read my thread.

I feel better every day. still tired. I think cough is gone.
Emmy was exposed to a covid child and has to be away from class/day care for 2 weeks. My twin is flying in to help with child care.

she is 2
Wonder how old the child is who has it?
I need to make me something hot.
I feel chilly. The house feels drafty.
The guest bedroom in the house is the coolest for some odd reason.
Have been using 2 blankets and wear long underwear and wool socks to bed.
In fact I am wearing them right now and still chilly.
lots of love I had left over chicken soup that my friend katherine made for me. needed a ton of salt but was very very good! I will touch base with her again.

I have 2 sweaters on and now am having a hot flash.
sigh

My twin sister is thrilled to get to spend as much time with her first grandchild. I hope emmy doesn't come down with it too.

They live in north carolina. Gretchen (lives in Indiana)

will be there 8 days. N.C. should be better weather than IN.


I am feeling much better other than being tired the rest
of my symptoms
have subsided...for the most part.
Have not taken any cough syrup, no flonace, no zyrek.


I have been drinking these partake non alcoholic beers
this evening they taste really good and counts toward
my fluid intake.

anxious to get to bed but will wait until after seinfeld.
usually hit the hay at 1130pm.
Jeff doesn't have to be at work until 1pm so he can sleep in,
that is if he wants to. He has been waking up early to go

for his walk/jog journey thru the subdivision in search of
cats who want a treat. That is his motivation for his walks,

to see how many cats he can give treats.
The weather was 74 for a high today and it will drop

for the rest of the week.
Tonight
Showers and thunderstorms before 4am, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 4am and 5am, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 5am. Low around 39. South wind 10 to 15 mph becoming north 15 to 20 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

Thursday
A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 7am. Cloudy, with a temperature falling to around 38 by 5pm. North wind around 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.

Thursday Night
A chance of rain showers before midnight, then a chance of rain showers, freezing rain, and sleet between midnight and 3am, then a chance of freezing rain and sleet after 3am. Cloudy, with a low around 29. North wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Little or no sleet accumulation expected.

Friday
A slight chance of freezing rain and sleet before 9am, then a slight chance of rain or freezing rain between 9am and noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. North wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Friday Night
Partly cloudy, with a low around 27. North wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.

Saturday
Sunny, with a high near 50. North wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.

Saturday Night
Mostly clear, with a low around 28. North wind 5 to 10 mph.


burr!!!

I have the clearing of the back of my throat still.
i went out today with mask on and
went to sandras to pick up some sort of soup.
So I got some seafood broth and a pouch full of tuna
and added some half and half and cajun spices and

it was good not great but definitely drinkable.

I ate out the tuna fish pieces and slurped the

remaining broth.
I also picked up some chowder soup by AMY's

I also ate some cheese with sun dried tomatoes
and basil. and drank a couple of NA beer.

Am going to see jeff play with the quartet

at el paso restaurant. They play jazz. lol
my posture bra came in and it hurts in a

couple of places. I don't like it.
it digs in right at my sternum.
Thanks for reading along with me.

purchase my liquid stevia, and spry gum that is good for your teeth.
picked up some organic cheeses and ham and turkey. vitd3- 5,000 units
