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.
May The Lord grant you your hearts desired this new year!
PS Yup, scary isn't it!
Happiest of Birthdays!

The stance of my niece-in-law... until... she was in the ER with her 11-year-old niece who NIL has custody of. The child couldn't breathe, tested positive for covid, and was too many days in for antibodies to work well. In 14 hours she would be on a vent. Her younger sister who went thru the original covid with moderate symptoms 3 months earlier, was also positive but an antibody infusion worked well. NIL ended up hospitalized and on oxygen. The five other members of the household (my nephew and his kids as well as her older son) were vaccinated and had mild symptoms for 1-2 days. I also had mild symptoms for 1 day after I began taking care of NIL's 7-year-old son (my grand-nephew) while his mother was hospitalized.
Thank God for the vaccine and my nephew who took the vaccine and had his sons vaccinated! We are still praying the 11-year-old gets to come home soon.
Most BP devices check BP and pulse.
The oximeter tests O2 and pulse.
I haven’t seen a BP device that tests O2 but I see on Amazon, they exist! Good to know.
There is no reason to test yourself for covid because there are no special medications or treatments being given for anyone with mild symptoms unless you get lucky and have a doc that will give ivermectin. Or recommend supplements like d3, vitamin c, quercetin with zinc (careful with taking to much zinc though).
Can you imagine if they had all this testing for the flu. Talk about a money maker. Maybe they will have it in 2023 then people will be able to test themselves all winter.
I will never get tested for covid or take the vaccine.
More and more people now known to us have reported sick, both vaccinated and unvaccinated. People who have tried hard to be safe, and people who were out and about, ignoring the pandemic have been infected. Some have died.
Less and less people follow any guidelines or protocols, instead seek to declare themselves above any rules, and say that they are smarter than any medical professionals.
I am sad for everyone, especially those who have worked so hard, like the caregivers here.
But we all need to persevere, stay the course a bit longer.
Yes, there is a pandemic.
After two years, you may need to learn more about it.
Putting forth opinions and facts just to be deconstructed by naysayers for discussions and disagreements will not save your life, imo.
Stay strong.
Lots of people catch cold this time of year. Normally we wouldn’t bat an eye when we heard such news. But covid makes everyone paranoid.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
If it drops below 90, time to get help.
