Well that sucks, but here's a sort of good thing to keep in mind. The virus has gone thru a number of mutations and now is no longer as deadly as when it first came out. It can still take a long time and do a number you but it's much more survivable. The thing you especially need to be careful of is to not get it because with alll your lung problems you are more at risk since it mainly attacks the lungs.

Yeah, I fetch things for her and wear a mask when in her room area, keep my hands washed. She had covid once before and come through OK and I never managed to catch it. The times she has been hospitalized usually starts with the flu/serious respiratory and then it goes to pneumonia, the first time just regular hospital rooms a few years back when it happened she was in the ICU hooked up to machines to breathe for her. It was devastating to see my Mrs so sick she could die. Doctor told me she wouldn't be lucky the next time.

I also found out how important it is that a sick person have someone at home to care for them when they get out. If they didn't have someone it sounded kind of ominous, like they will tend to someone first who has someone to look after them but if they don't, maybe they just let them die, it almost sounded like that.

Another reason why I try to protect myself against infection besides my own lung disorders.

Man my right hip is killing me today. I sure don’t feel 36 sometimes. I don’t know if I was rough on my body or what happened. I was a little rough. I’ll admit. Sick from the seasonal sickness. Dead dog tired. I may not stay awake for the fight at this rate. I’m such a fuddy.

One thing you can try is to get an OTC supply of a drug called Prilosec (generic name Omeprazole). It is said to repair damage to the stomach caused from high levels of digestive acids. Usually taking it daily for three weeks is all one needs to repair such damage. Which is probably why they usually sell it as a 3 week supply? It is said that people who take pain medicine, especially NSAIDs, are prone to developing damage to the stomach lining.

That was true for me a while back. I was having nightly issues with heartburn when a doctor told me to try taking that. So I did and at the end of the 3 weeks the heart burn was gone. It comes back every now and then but I just do another 3 week course of Prilosec and I'm good to go for several months or so. It's not good for instant relief like you get from most other antiacids as it takes about 24 hours to reach an effective stage after you take it. Now once you start and take it every day for three weeks, the rest of the time you should get relief and if it did it's job when you stop taking it you should get continued relief. They do advise people not to take it for too long as you can develop side effects although that's usually reported by people who take it consistently for a year or more. I'm not sure what the side effects are.

I know I will be talking with my doc after I get bloodwork done, I will mention to her the drug Prilosec and see what she says.
I don't take much in the way of NSAIDS, my medical records advise against using them. They have caused me to bleed. Plus I have diverticulosis and people with that condition shouldn't take them.

I'd like to get rid of the magnesium deficiency I have, the deficiency causes muscle cramps, I take a supplement to compensate.
After my sciatic nerve acted up, muscle cramps is the last thing I want to feel.

Oh yeah Mormons have all sorts of odd rules and traditions, especially with regards to Temple access. One rule that would probably rule out almost everyone in this forum is that the consumption of caffine is considered a fairly big sin. So is alcohol and tobacco. I never heard of any rules specifically about cannabis but in general recreational drug use is considered a sin. It makes sense for the most part since these substances are known to be unhealthy. They believe your body is quite literally a temple of God and that anything you do that is bad for your health s about the same as damaging or vandalizing an actual temple.

Another thing that many find odd is that they consider dark skin to be the Mark of Caine, that he got when he killed his brother Able. Therefore they believe all dark skinned races are descendents of Caine and as such are considered somewhat inferior and not allowed in the upper levels of the Mormon hierarchy. They've softened on this somewhat in more recent years though as they do have quite a few dark skinned members.

Another one I always objected to but I'm not sure if this is true of all Mormons. Each state or major city has a Temple and a feature of all temples is a tall golden spire with a gold statue of the Angel Gabriel at the top. I've heard it said by the Mormon friends I know, that when the end times begin and the trials and tribulations are about to start, that satue of Gabriel on all the temples will come to life and start sounding his trumpet to warn people but only Mormons in good standing in the Church will hear it. So they can start doing whatever they need to do to protect themselves. Everyone else won't hear it and just go on about their lives as usual.

The angel is Moroni.

I stand corrected, I guess I just always figured it was Gabriel since he is also associated with Trumpets.
