  1. Ever since our state opened up about 4 weeks ago, we’ve gone from - few hundred cases a day to over 2000 a day now. My first instinct was to buy a bit extra toilet paper, make sure we’re good on masks, hand soap, hand sanitizer etc. 🤷‍♀️ First world problems but I’m not wiping my butt with a coffee filter again.
  2. Pippy my dear!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you the biggest hugs.
  3. I’m having the holter put on tomorrow, then a routine echo done next week. I’m also seeing an electrophysiologist tomorrow as well to talk about an ablation. Of course, I haven’t had any palps in a couple weeks(aside from tonight - I was a bit dehydrated so I wonder if that triggered it). I swear it better show up on there. LOL. I get both the “skipped beat” feeling and the speeding up and almost what feels like it’s resetting into sinus rhythm. I can also make it stop by coughing hard or bearing down. I’m told sometimes that simply IS a treatment if it’s infrequent, not sustaining and the heart rate isn’t super fast. But when they come, they drive me insane and I think it becomes a vicious cycle of palps triggering anxiety triggering palps! Which is why I really want to consider an ablation. I feel for you. Let me know how things go for you.
  4. Your body is a machine! A well oiled machine. Repeat. LOL. Beats the ventilator. Just keep telling yourself that. Hugs!
  5. Okay folks, women especially...if you ever want to drive yourself insane, get the new otc Covid antigen test they just started selling this week in the US. it’s like doing pregnancy tests. It even says to look for “very faint lines”. I was going nuts and taking it apart, just like I did with my pregnancy tests! 😂
  6. Thanks hun. Happy vaccine day!! 🤗 👍😘
  7. Yeah and a rash...I can’t figure it out. It could be a viral rash. I changed his detergent to free and clear and got some colloidal oatmeal...hydrocortisone, and am giving him Benadryl every 6 hours. At first I thought it was atopic but I’ve removed every irritant and it’s really not getting any better at all.
  8. I’m having my son tested for Covid later today. I hate that this is the first thing that needs to be cleared out of the way. I don’t really believe he has it, but they won’t see him in person unless he has one done. Thing is, he’s NOT going to let them administer it, and they won’t let me, so I have to do it where they allow self administer (well, by a guardian). Why can’t they have these spit tests more readily available? Honestly I don’t even know if those are approved for children anyway. It used to be where when he needed it, we’d get myself and my fiancée tested per the doc because we were the only ones in contact with him and because his pediatrician knew he wouldn’t tolerate it. So we were able to rule it out that way. Now that we’re both vaccinated it’s different.
  9. LOL well...this virus in general is extremely funky. Don’t get me wrong, I think about how we’re all pretty much almost the phase 4 of clinical trials. But I also know if I got sick there’s a very good chance I’d be hospitalized, at best. I’m not willing to take that risk. And if say, there really is a microchip in there 😂😂, go ahead. You can watch me eat chips and go to target. I’m fine with that.
  10. That’s how it goes! At least you know there are 2 people somewhere who will get those appointments. Yes, here as well. Our elderly are 80% vaccinated with at least one dose. So we are seeing more 20s/30s/40s etc dying. My eye doctor, actually(he’s not dead just to clarify)..I’m not entirely sure of his age, perhaps 50? I have been seeing him since I was 12 years old and he was straight out of optometry school...I called the office like 2 months ago for an appointment and it said it was closed due to the pandemic. I thought that was weird because 2 months ago we were in decent shape. So once a week I’d call to see if the message changed and one day he picked up the phone. Apparently he had COVID and was hospitalized. Had to close the office for about 3 months. He was super breathy, said he had a pulmonary embolism, now has to see a neurologist for post Covid memory issues...he also had a stroke. While he is (or was....) a well controlled diabetic he is in good shape and leads a healthy lifestyle. He says he has no idea specifically where he got it, but being an eye doctor up close in peoples faces even with masks on, I can see how it would easily happen. He said he couldn’t stay home anymore. For both financial reasons and because he needs to move around (he’s probably going to be on blood thinners the rest of his life). I pushed out my appointment until next month and twice already he’s had to reschedule me because he has so many various specialist appointments. I don’t know why stories like these aren’t more alarming to people. And that’s only just one experience I know of, there are more and some are worse. Why would you(general you) want to roll the dice...I don’t understand it. Anyhow, enough of this. Happy Vaccine Eve!! Make sure you get stuff to stay hydrated, have some Tylenol or whatever otc painkiller/fever reducer is safest with your type of vaccine, and rest up this weekend! Whenever I felt crappy I just told myself my body was being the machine it was designed to be. The pains had a purpose. It really helps too, with anxiety.
  11. Aww, thanks!! My career skills have to stay fine tuned. Lol. In all seriousness, the headache of looking for a vaccine was very taxing here. We just arrived at a point yesterday where they have a walk in clinic, no appointments necessary. Of course, no one wanted to wait months for that kind of ease...I know I didn’t. But I do believe the rollout will get better there eventually just like it is here. Then it becomes a matter of vaccine hesitancy...which we are starting to see here in the US. Ugh.
  12. I can try to help you...I just have to learn Canada’s in and outs. We had all sorts of restrictions and eligibility stuff. I found another group. Let me dig around. Waitlists in Canada are probably as useless as they are here(I’ve been on waitlists since February, I’m already fully vaccinated and I STILL never heard from a waitlist). I’ll PM you later on when I figure this out
  13. Getting my family vaccinated basically required me to learn the pharmacies batch drop times, spend literal hours with multiple tabs open on multiple devices, and joining a Facebook group dedicated to vaccine hunting. That group was invaluable and there’s no way we’d all be vaccinated without it. it seems Canada has its own type of vaccine hunter group. And probably more I can’t find. https://www.google.com/amp/s/toronto.citynews.ca/2021/04/20/canadas-vaccine-hunters-twitter/amp/ try it. Seriously, I would not be vaccinated if I didn’t utilize a group like this.
  14. Waaaay overdue! I hope he goes through with it this go. Your brother is a very good looking guy as well, so if he’s in the market I’ve no doubt he will find someone. 😆
