Not feeling well
Oct. 19th, 2023 10:24 amMonday when going to fetch my wife’s car from the garage I had what I thought was a really bad allergy attack, but since then my nose has been very stuffed up.
The covid tests keep coming back negative. I don’t have a temperature. All the other various instruments I have for measuring things say they’re fine. (Blood pressure, blood sugar, blood oxygen…)
But, I am very stuffed up.
Hopefully it won’t last too long and my wife won’t catch it.

So...who knows
Aug. 14th, 2021 02:29 pmI've had a cough this week.
Last night we didn't go to game night as my wife started coughing and her temperature was up.
We've both had Covid and recovered.
And, we both are fully vaccinated.
But... There is a chance this Delta thing can get through that. The odds are low, but...
Either way, staying home this weekend and having Tom run practice for us tomorrow.

Happy 2021
Jan. 1st, 2021 08:04 amI had fallen asleep in my chair as for the last week or more.
Then, the sound of the new year woke me.
I managed to actually climb into bed and sleep horizontally for the first time in more than a week.
Maybe for only 4 hours before the coughing took over, but it's the best I've had in a long time.
Good sign for 2021...

Codeine and I don’t mix well
Dec. 31st, 2020 02:21 pmI tried the prescription cough syrup last night.
You’ve got to measure out 5ml with a dropper.
I fell asleep pretty quickly, still in my chair in the living room.
I woke up three hours later in the middle of the night.
For the next few hours I experienced vivid hallucinations.
My wife came out at one point and I said "Look out it almost got you!"
I did fall back asleep but woke up in different versions of the hallucination.
But, I actually did get more sleep at the end.
So, today I’m a bit better.
It was strange enough I don’t want to go through it again.

Small steps, but forward
Dec. 30th, 2020 01:27 pmI won't lie, it's been bad.
Very difficult to eat. Very little energy.
Had to put something to sit on in the shower to even wash.
I haven't read anything on line in more than a week.
I did talk with the doctor yesterday who had the important insight of "you should cut out your blood sugar medicine if you're not eating".
Which was different from the "keep taking all your medications" I was told before.
But, I've felt better since and managed more food today than the last week. Maybe combined.
Most of my day is sitting in my chair with a blanket over me.
My evenings are the same with the light off.
But, I am feeling better. Friday was the worst and there have been small improvements since.
Today was the biggest step so far, which is why I'm at the computer.
Not much of a birthday for my wife today, but I do very much appreciate all the help she's been.
I honestly don't know if I'd have gotten through it without her.

I smelled the bread
Dec. 27th, 2020 05:20 amIt's been a rough couple of days.
But, my smell came back yesterday with my appetite.
Still have a lot of cough...

Yesterday was rough
Dec. 25th, 2020 06:08 amI was very tired. I still have trouble eating.
And, I didn't sleep well.
The good news is my wife seems to be coming out of it.
Yay.

Very tired today, so no full report.
I worked about 12 hours, granted sitting at my desk. I did sneak off for 20 minutes to lie down.
My wife says she's getting her smell back and seems happy.
I am really hungry, but have to force myself to eat and can't hold much.
I'm glad my wife seems to be getting better as she is running ahead of me, so that's a good sign...
