I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
My whine - came downstairs to a chilly 17C (62F) - my downstairs furnace is broken. Thankfully the upstairs one works. Thankful also that furnace repair people work every day of the week if needed, and we are in a mild spell - minus 9 C (16F) - outside. How we take our modern conveniences for granted!
LED Tiki lamps on neighbor's patio, supposed to look like flames....
And they do, look like flames, from farther away, at 5:30 a.m. flashing in the rain.
Seen from my bathroom window.
Leak in humidifier found.
Water and moldy stuff to clean up.
Sigh!
There is not a lot I can do about it.
He will be 87 in Feb
EMTs are wonderful in these situations.
I'll let you know what develops. Thanks for being here, guys!
Hoping and praying for a good outcome for your DH!
And you be safe and well Barb!
Stay positive!
Got home at 5 AM and just woke up.
and take care of yourself too, Barb!
If you can get him to drink anything with ginger in it, it helps the body absord fluids into the cells.
We like fresh grated ginger, raw honey and a squeeze of lemon when we are feeling dehydrated.
I never eat it otherwise but when I had flu or vomiting as a kid, jello or jello water always went down well. I wonder how healthy things like ginger could be added. Seems you could put it in the hot unflavored jello water just like a tea and make your own flavor.
This is in my head because I just ordered a collagen supplement because my hair is getting so very thin. Hoping it will help some joint pain, too.
Have heard Omicron can present with nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea. Rehydrate is all you can do.
Dr told me Omicron is more in the throat, so even though the R.A tests are good, if nasal only, may not pick up (apparently). But PCR will.
Of course stomach flu does happen now & then. Whatever it is, hope it is brief.
🤞🙏
Beatty, I had read that covid could have stomach bug/flu symptoms but I've never heard this firsthand from anyone.
Barb, hope you can get covid ruled out completely and nurse DH back to health. Sounds like you're through the worst of it. I hope so.
