over in my area we have this cold that is pretty bad and goes to your lungs. i'm still coughing up junk until i puke. i'm on my 4th week.
The ER doc who saw me said flu A, flu B, and COVID were going around.
Saturday the place was packed though threre was a poor dude that was in the middle of a heart attack (I felt sorry for him). Luckily, after injecting Zofran (anti-emetic) and fluids into me, I felt better, but I went into the main hospital lobby and gathered what strenght I had to make it home in a
cab.*
The nausea is mostly gone though the infection has moved into my chest. I'm
no longer blacking out when I cough but it's shallower coughing with a lot
of phlegm. That cool-mist vaporizer is already helping me. I fired it up
the high setting about an hour ago and I can feel the difference already.
Both of my parents are sick with the flu also. When I went to the ER
ysterday, I noticed my dad's mobility scooter in the ER waiting room. Sure enough, he was there due to his coughing. For some reason my mom blames me
for making her sick--we went to Sam's Club Wednesday and I think we caught
it there--but it doesn't matter. I believe they're doing better.
I'm doing somewhat better but I am very lightheaded and can't move aound
much. I have to be especially careful since I am a fall risk so I am using
my cane and being deliberate in my movements.
I was planning on spending Christmas alone which is okay but being sick and alone sucks balls.
Hope you get better as soon as possible!
