Shirley........... You are right, but it is still annoying this coughing.. I will be contacting my doctor today.. Most likely won't be able to see him but at least he will talk to me on the phone..
I hope you get a good report, Steve. Are y'all getting enough snow and cold to help businesses? We have some really cold weather here this week. Maybe we'll get enough snow to be pretty but not enough to be dangerous.
Shirley...... We had some snow but then came a warm spell that melted most of the snow on the ground.. Now we are having a bit of a cold spell that we very badly need to freeze the lakes with thick ice.. The daytime temps are around the -15c to -20c mark and nighttime down to -25c to -32c mark which is good.. Add to that a brisk wind and you have a windchill of about -45c.. Actually it was a W/C of -54c yesterday just north of us.. The snowmobile trails are completely dry.. We need a ton of snow pretty fast to open up the trails.. Ice fishing will start when the ice gets thick enough.. Meantime, our village is very quiet.. No revenue..
We have a respiratory virus which takes a long time to kill.. The doctor said it might take 4 to 6 more weeks till we are totally finished with it........ No more antibiotics.. The water in my lungs has gone.. Meanwhile continue on with the symbicort puffer, cough syrup that breaks up phlegm, hot tea with lemon and honey, lozenges, and hot lemon drink at bedtime.. Wear a mask when we go out.. I sleep on a wedge pillow to elevate me to avoid coughing during the night.. It sure helps a lot.. If it gets worse, contact the doctor again, but so far, we are slowly getting better.. Like I said,........ I'm sick of being sick...
Steve, it's gonna be a looong winter for y'all. That sounds like what people here have been having for the last few years. I see on the news about some kind of norovirus that apparently is new. I haven't paid any attention to it, though.
Shirley...... Whatever, it is, has us completely pooped.. Always tired and totally fed-up with being like this.. Can't wait for this to go away and get back to living normal again....... ................ Whatever normal is....... I'm starting to do cooking again but simple meals.. Its been too windy to BBQ.. Don't mind the cold, but no wind.. Cooking lots of fish which we like..
I'm starting to feel a bit better, but nowhere back to normal.. Still coughing but hardly any phlegm.. No fever but still somewhat a bit weak.. I'm still taking my puffer symbicort and cough syrup.. Tea with honey and lemon often.. Hot lemon drink at bedtime.. Annmarie is a bit behind me with a nasty cough and still lots of phlegm..
I got up to go to the bathroom and came on here for a while till I get tired again.. Seems like I am slowly getting back to my routine.. I am feeling better but not fully recovered..
Well, here I am again at just after 6:00am and can't get back to sleep after going to the bathroom, so I will play a few games till I get tired again............ Getting back to normal............
