😷COVID
I'll start here. I had a couple of coughing attacks yesterday. Gut wrenching, fighting to get my lungs clear, nearly threw up coughing. I took my meds and got through it. We went to bed at 10:30 after binge watching Secret State (2012, UK). Excellent series. I woke at 1:20 a.m. with the sweats, but NO BIG COUGH! (It accumulates when you sleep, and can't get rid of it.) I slept until 5:45. Used my puffer this morning, but NO BIG COUGH! I really took it easy, and I have to not overdo it today. I can't tell you how joyful I am.
🚑 I had a bill for the ambulance I rode in to emergency July 22 when we had COVID and I couldn't stop coughing📹. The Ministry of Health & LTC charges $240 for this. It is waived if you are on disability or social assistance, or getting home care, but in ALL OTHER CASES $45. You'd think they'd pay me to go into hospital in a sterile environment, with COVID virus contained, and the ambulance staff in full PPE. 😜
⚽ We watched our women's soccer team. I feel so badly for them. They overcame the betrayal by their coaches, yelling, crying, and working it through. They won the game.
🌩It wasn't easy watching the game. We had a major storm go by. Well, three storms in total. We lost our satellite feed, several times. We watched on Joe's iPad. It was a bit eerie, having just had a tornado 4km away July 24th. July went out with a bang. We had 18mm rain (7/10").
Being so sick, we're glued to the Olympics, resting and healing. We lost our TV feed. This seldom happened before Roger's bought out Shaw. 😣

Nutmeg was not amused.
We'll see what August brings. I know a lot of us are managing our health. All the best.
Joe thinks this is what I have, a whopping cough, not whooping cough!

Glad to hear some respite from AwfulCough! (I whisper quietly that yesterday was pretty good here too, with gratitude.) Sorry you had electric issues with the storm. I've been watching Olympics too. Didn't hear the story about Canadian soccer women, so let me know sometime since women's soccer is one I like.
It's good that things are looking up!

Hahahah, oh, you just can't get the proofreaders these days! YAM xx
Hope the new month brings some more normal health for you. Old age is a struggle every day.
It sounds like you've had a challenging time but are finding some relief and joy in small victories. I’m so glad to hear the coughing has eased up and that you’re taking it easy. It’s great Joe is also managing his treatments with care. The ambulance bill situation sounds frustrating, but hopefully, things will improve soon. Watching the women’s soccer team overcome obstacles must have been inspiring, even with the stormy weather and TV issues. Wishing you both continued recovery and better days ahead!
I have just shared a new blog post and I would love for you to check it out and give me your feedback on www.melodyjacob.com. Thank you
Yes, your girls won the soccer, but three sent home, drone spying at the worst time!!!Never mind, you are both slowly on the mend, life is precarious, for me vicarious, for some victorious!!!Now you feel somewhat better, do not overdo anything that is not necessary. We have 6C this morning, Vancouver Island is where Josh is now, I hope for some more photos.
It is terribly shameful, Jean. The previous (male) soccer coach started the spying. With technology it seems to be more common. There is no excuse. The athletes are devastated, but determined.
I am so glad that the tide is finally turning in your favour. Keep taking it easy.
I've only caught some of the details about the soccer scandal, but I'm thrilled that the team was able to advance.
So delighted to hear that you are both on the mend! Aloha dear
I'm glad you are seeing improvement in your health.
I'm loving the Olympics! I'm glued to it, too.
I sure hope your cough gets better faster and faster. August is here and maybe that is the corner that needs to be turned.
Uffdah on the Ambulance. Here in the US any time I have to call for one for hubby it is never less than $1,000. It is generally a 6 month fight to get it billed correctly and paid correctly when I try to get insurance involved.
Whopping cough...well, maybe it is better than Whooping?
Get well.
I haven't seen much Olympics. I'm sorry about your Canadian women's team, though. But good news on the coughing. Day by day, one at a time!
At this exact time last year, Sue was sent by ambulance from CPH to Queensway hospital and she wasn’t charged. I guess if they send you, it is covered.
