Good Monday morning! Gerry, yes we both got the most recent COVID vaccinations back in October. His doctor told him he is one of those who would likely have to be hospitalized and would be in danger of not making it if he hadn't had the vaccines. With them, he gets a milder case. Told him it was the same as when he got shingles after getting the shingles vaccine - he had a much milder case that if he wouldn't have had it. His doctor also told him vaccinated people are much less likely to have long COVID.
He sounds better, but is very weak and dizzy. We have a pulse oximeter here and his blood oxygen levels are staying above 90, so that's something. But he's not been keeping up with fluids and didn't eat anything yesterday. I got 2 soft boiled eggs and a couple cups of coffee with milk and sugar in him this morning. His doctor wants to do a virtual visit with him tomorrow morning. I'm keeping a cup of peppermint tea with honey in front of him.
Called my GI office and cancelled my colonoscopy for tomorrow. I was really hoping to get that over with as depending on what they found, it would be my last one ever!
Heading out to take care of the chickens!

Good Tuesday morning! Hubby is starting to feel a tiny bit better. He had a virtual visit with his NP this morning. I'm able to take most of his vitals, blood O2 etc., and it was all slightly improved. Thank heavens, I'm still testing negative. For those of you who have gotten vaccinated, the nurse practitioner told him he was a walking advertisement for the vaccine as it would have been so, so much worse. She also said that's why I'm testing negative.
So, while I have to run in town and pick up a prescription for him, we are holed up here for the rest of the week.
I'm off to take care of the chickens!

No, we no longer wear masks when we go out, oldbroad. If your brother isn't vaccinated, then he is wise to mask up. I have to go to the vet tomorrow and I will mask up there. I am testing negative, but I don't want to take a chance on ruining someone else's Christmas!

Good morning everyone! A bit late today. Almost dark again. Short days this time of year. 2 Celsius, foggy outdoors and snow on the ground. Emergency use knäckebröd available in the break room. I keep my fingers crossed for Draclvr's hubby and wish you all a calm and peaceful day. Happy Wednesday GameBoomers!

Good Wednesday morning! Was able to get Grandkids Christmas gifts mailed off, so I am done. Hubby and I don't exchange gifts as we both have so much "stuff" we just don't need any more!
He is back up and running already! He is back to taking care of the chickens and walking to the end of the drive to get the mail. His appetite is back and all his vitals are good. But he is taking it slow. I'm sure I would test positive today, but all I have is sniffles. I don't want to waste my remaining COVID tests on me as he has several appointments coming up before his knee replacement on January 13. They would like to see 2 negative tests. I did order more free tests from the government, but they aren't here yet. So glad you got that booster, Gerry! As the nurse practitioner said yesterday, we are walking advertisements for getting it.
I am masking up and taking my ancient barn cat in to the vet for euthanasia this afternoon. Her kidney failure has finally hit the end stage. This old barn cat has got to be at least 23 - 25 years old. But I gave her an extra year by bringing her inside out of the cold last December. Hate to say it, but it's kind of timely as hubby is going to need that shower downstairs where she now lives.

Draclvr, I'm sorry about your kitty, but it's great that your hubby is back up and about.
I'm due for my COVID shot and I really must get around to booking it. I have had my flu shot and so far have avoided the flu that's affected a couple of my friends here.
It's a glorious day. Unfortunately I'm off to the dentist so I won't have time to take advantage of it. Still, it's nice to see the sun and the cats have a nice warm sun patch to relax in.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Glad your husband is doing better Drac. Sorry about the cat. 23 plus years. Nice life. That has to be the oldest cat on the planet or at least the oldest I have ever heard of
Wife and I both came down with covid about a year ago. Wife got it first and only came down with a 101 temp for a couple days then was fine. I got it from her and had the same 101 for a couple days s well. We tested positive for 2 weeks and then got negatives. We believe in the boosters and have not missed one. They saved us from a lot worse I believe
It's never too late!

Good Thursday morning! Had a hard frost last night and the ground was white all the way down to the woods. The WADDB is really hitting the spot.
Probably going to be a lazy do-nothing day as I have the night off from bowling tonight.
Thanks for all the thoughts on the old barn kitty. She definitely had 999 lives!

Good afternoon or what's appropriate everyone. Over here already dark outdoors. Just like the WADDB. +2 Celsius but still snow on the ground. Polishing the upcoming text-based mini game for Linux and XP compatibles. Almost completed. The downloading and making it run might turn out to be a bigger challenge than the actual gameplay.. Happy Thursday GameBoomers
