How’s Eddie?

Eddie...do you have a pulse oximeter so you can monitor the oxygen in your blood? It sounds like it would be a important early warning tool.

Yes, my wife is a RN and she has every little gadget possible. I'm from 97 down to 94 with 96 or 97 being the most common. If I get closer to 90, I'm to be admitted, so it's something that she checks all the time. I just put my hand out when I see her holding it. I don't really have any breathing issues other then when I do something, it feels like I'm breathing heavy, but I'm not huffing and puffing, I'm just low on oxygen and needing more air. It passes quickly, but it happens all the time.

Just to let other know what Covid is like, I've had a setback. All last week I was doing good. I was able to put in full days and get a lot done. Saturday I picked up some round bales, and finished off a project in my shop, then relaxed with a six pack of good beer and watched a movie. While watching the movie, I felt tired. More tired then normal, but I'm not sure what normal is anymore. When the movie ended, I went to bed and woke up the next day feeling sick again. Achy joints, no energy, fuzzy head and unable to concentrate. That stayed with me all day Sunday and it was an effort just to go from the living room to the bathroom. I went out to get some firewood and that just about did my in. Today I'm a lot better, but still week and still a little fuzzy headed.

Yikes man! Get well soon. Replace the beer with water. I have gotten better, but am left with a cough and a little lightheaded ness which I have had with other illnesses, too. Did a bunch of hay today-felt pretty beat up....could be age creeping in- who knows.
Hope you get better soon.

Re: How痴 Eddie?

...We now know over 30 people in our immediate family/friends/coworkers circle that have had it and the symptoms range from almost nothing to 4 dead. ...

Knock on wood. I only know of one coworker and two family members who have had the virus. Knock on wood. One friend of the wife that I have met has had it as has her husband. That is it. We think we might have had it and the end of Feb 2020 but can't prove it.

I have been shocked at how many TBNers have had the virus and how many people they know who have had it.

What is odd is that here in NC, the number of hospitalizations started increasing steeply in early November. The holidays did not seem to matter regarding deaths or hospitalizations. Both have been a constant slope in the graphs with no peaks. However, in the last week or so, the number of hospitalizations have flattened for the first time in two months. Hopefully, this is the start of a downward trend to end this mess.

Sorry to hear about Eddie's relapse. Just so odd how this affect people. Or not as the case may be.

Later,
Dan
