Coughs seem to be quite fashionable lately. After a lengthy bout of feeling even less well than usual I got a scan that showed a lung anomaly. Last time this happened I got two lung biopsies followed by a year of anti fungal meds. This time the chosen diagnostic technique is a bronchoscopy. I confess to feeling nervous!

Again, who is writing the novel we are living in?

I'd prefer Urusla than King or V.C. Andrews (who seemed to like writing the same book again and again and again...)

Still have an annoying cough
Not all the time anymore
Still productive eww -- thank goodness not the bad colours (which I am intimately acquainted with)
Still kinda tired all the time but not as severe as it was
My poor body manufacturing those spike proteins takes it outta me
 
Education really messes up the plans of some souls towards making a quick buch ... i.e. get rich conspiracies? If knowledge was spread excessively ... would it be out of touch of the poverty stricken ... thus legends, myths, etc.

Beyond belief???
 
Update from this part of the country........
LTC is on Shut Down due to Covid again. New case this morning.
ER is busy with respiratory cases. Spoke to a family member who works there and she said on her last shift they intubated four people and air lifted them to the city.
How are things in your neck of the woods?
 
I have a staff person with it but he is able to work from home. Nothing serious.

Have not heard of any major issues around here but that could be things not hitting the news in a big way.
 
I think hospitalizations are up around here. I don't know anyone personally who has it. Healthcare settings require masks again. I would wear one there even if it wasn't required.
 
Hospital is back to full mask requirements. I know of several hospitalizations due to flu. Bad year for old people.
 
|Not only a bad year for the elderly. Locally people in their 30s and 40s have been intubated and shipped out. The hospital doesn't demand masks yet. Yesterday the Lab Techs were unprotected, as were several patients.
 
We have been fully masking again since- September? Before that masking was down to direct patient care in the rooms over the summer. I got my 5 th shot today. That pharmacy had lots of open appointments, but I was the only time at that time. He said up until the day before Christmas they were fully booked. People are funny. I think they thought to prepare for Christmas- not realizing it takes 2-3 weeks for the vaccine to actually protect yourself.
 
I can't get my next booster until Jan, because I had it in October. At this point, I'll just add the flu vaccine at the same time.
 
I got my shot of the XBB updated vaccine about two weeks ago. With a trip coming up I wanted some time for it to take.
 
How do you all keep track of this?

This is all so much like keeping track of baseball stats lol

The adult world is too bizarre
