What if it Snows?

you might be right......just beat down

 

I had the killer flu, about 8 yrs back, along with the double pneumonia that went with it. Literally couldn’t breath. Finally got rid of it with steroids. A few yrs. before had a lung infection caused by a dose of dust, sweeping my trailer out. Stupid intern at the walk in clinic, showed Me scarring on my lungs, said I had 6 mo. to 5 yrs tops to live. What a Moron, for a year or so, I thought I was dying. Since then, my lungs show no scarring damage. Doctors can be like Mechanics. Jumping to worst case scenarios. I’d still like to punch the intern in the nose.Lol

 

I get it all the time, yesterday was all achy, from digging a trench. Some rest, fluids, while still moving around some, usually works. It’s called getting old. Used to pull all nighters, at least twice a week, to get things done. Now I don’t bother, takes 2 days to recover.

 

Mucinex for dry cough. Once per 24 hours. Gives ones lungs something to cough up and relieves the need to cough

 

Usually 3 days, no fever, you’re good. My Daughter works in a rehab facility ( Nursing Home) . They get Patient’s in and out, along with residents, at one point, they had 25 positive patients. One Guy died, 3 days after She had examined him. Speech pathologist, mainly working with stroke and cancer patients, who can’t swallow, or eat solid foods. Helps them recover, and develop the muscles, so they can eat again. Never tested, only temp check. She finally got tested last week, due to a State Mandate. Thank God She hasn’t gotten it. Type 1 Diabetic, She’s at a high risk, herself for complications. Definitely my little Hero. She’ll tell you, it’s no joke, here one minute, then gone. That girls seen a lot of death, this year. Not exactly what She expected the Job to entail.

 

That’s right, especially for smokers. It’s the non productive cough, dry cough, that they look for. After a while, it Plugs up the lungs, causing scar tissue -COPD. Not good. I hate to be Doom and Gloom. Wish I didn’t know anything about any of it. Gotta get busy, still working on the underground sprinklers around here. 3 day job, turned into 3 weeks. Sheesh!!

 

Have you tried one of the urgent care facilities?
