COVID

 Joe Brian is feeling better each day with his Lyme Disease. The old lady with COVID was worse Tuesday: chills, headache, cough, wheezing, diarrhea. My personal nurse brought me Advil, water, cough drops, and chicken noodle soup for afternoon lunch, after my nap. I managed to sleep three hours through, from 2:30 - 5:30 this morning. That was a relief. I know many of you can identify with this.

My SIL has what sounds like a cold, but it is COVID. Caitlin has it, as well, but not as bad as I do. They are young! 

I asked the Doctor's office about Paxlovid, but they said I didn't qualify. That's not true. In fact, you can just go to the pharmacist in Ontario.

I used Joe Brian's puffer since it has settled in my lungs. I've had all my shots and boosters. Thank goodness, or it'd be much worse. My throat is so sore. Advil has helped with the headaches.

I phoned to get some Paxlovid, our pharmacists can prescribe it. Our local pharmacy is out. Or what they have is stale. JB looked up close-by pharmacies and Shoppers Drug Mart was open until midnight. I phoned and spoke to the pharmacist. She asked about the other meds I'm taking and I told her.

A pharmacy 40-minutes drive away has it. Imagine trying to spell my name for someone over the phone when my voice is hoarse, and I'm coughing. She called back at 10:30 for my address. 

The old man with cancer and Lyme disease is driving in this morning to get my Paxlovid. I bet President Joe Biden didn't have to jump through hoops to get his! The NY Times reports he's begun taking it.

OK, enough complaints. Thanks for your sympathetic messages. They are most appreciated.
