Laura I hope you feel better soon. The doctor recommended Musinex when I had Covid to help loosen up congestion.
The Paxlovid actually made me feel worse so the dr also said it was fine for me to stop taking it.
And regular cold medicine also helped with a lot of the aches and things as well. Plus drinking lots of water and using Vicks Vaporub...although I couldn't smell it I could feel it help opening things up.
I am going to have to find a new psychiatrist. The one I've been seeing , well the psych nurse practitioner is leaving the practice and I figured this is as good a time as any to find one locally. Although I hate looking for a new meds manager because it' always feels more personal than just a regular doctor. I have the last appointment with the psych nurse practioner tomorrow so this afternoon M and I are going to drive up to Mom's and spend the night. I wanted to just go by myself but M's mom asked if we could both go and give her some time without us around so we're doing that. In a couple of weeks I have Fri and Sat off so I may go up Thursday after work and spend some time. I just haven't really had a chance to visit with Mom, just me and her, in a while.
I would assume that SMG would donate the money. I would hope so at least.
Happy birthday, Trudy.
I came across a link to this excellent Sars story about 9/11; I'd read it before, but it's always worth reading again.

I really need to get off my butt and do some laundry and vacuum and pack for the week: I'm going to San Diego for what is officially training but is really the one opportunity I will get to spend time with the rest of the agency's environmental staff. There will be drinks around the pool and lots of gossip about the fact that it took 9 months for HQ to not pick the most obvious choice for the chief of the program office.
D has been with the agency for many years, knows everyone, has been deputy chief for a decade; has been acting chief since last December; and yet after all that, they're bringing in a much younger person from outside the government to run the shop. People are going to be pissed. For one thing, this new person will not know squat about how we operate and how the field units work. It's gonna be a shit-show, even if she's good. Gonna be a big lift.
Shit-show indeed, and a story I hear too many times in other organizations as well. May the drinks and camaraderie be just what you all need.
Happy Trudy Day!
Slug weekend over here. Not feeling bad about it.
Happy birthday, Trudy!
I hope your DH can find a safe way to do most of what he wants/needs to do,
Laura.
Well, DH will be here a while since he is positive now too. Our doctor called him in meds and yelled (not really) at me for not calling him when I found out. I have records at the local health center and he doesn't so it made sense for him to call the Florida doctor. Anyway, his assistant coach is taking care of the pre-season tournaments. Regular season doesn't start until November. So he is stuck up here! He is coughing, but no fever. I am feeling much better, just stuffed up.
Sorry to hear that, Laura, but I'm glad you're feeling better and hope his passes easily, too.
Grey, rainy Monday here, and I'm on a slow start, it seems.
