mdehnersIt's been an "Interesting" couple of weeks. I finally found a place to get my 2nd Vaxx. Took almost an hr in the rain to get there AND, of course screwed up my appt so I had to fill out yet again anothr form. The "kicker" was th guy behind me (also from Niceville) got a text telling him they'd just opened the vax clinic where I got my 1st...less than 10 min(that's with traffic) from home.
Chuck? Well, we got the result from his Ultrasound. The good news was that it wasn't fluid. The bad was that thy could see his liver was inflamed.
He's been pretty much the same for the last month; up off-n-on, no breakfast and seldom lunch. At best 50% dinner. At least 3 he doesn't eat ANYTHING. Yesterday started as one of his better days all the way till dinner when he started to vomit eery few minutes.....til 0430 today. We een headed to the ER but he said he was feeling better so we turned around. Then he started up again.
Right now I have him on sips of Pedialyte and it's staying down. The heartbreaking theing about it all was when he said that he didn't think he'd lat long enough to move.....
Cheers,
Pat

Date: 2021-04-22 08:46 pm (UTC)I would like to hope it will become like the flu shot and we can get it at Walgreens (where my Ætna HMO coverage refused payment for my 2019 flu shot!) Of course, this country is really not set up for preventive public health and will have trouble dealing with the demand, but the one thing they're supposedly good at is the technology of mass manufacture ... remains to be seen how they'll deal with the affordability issue. The next step in forming my opinion will be how well they facilitate the housemate getting it, given she has excellent insurance and top-flight doctors, but it's almost unobtainable in this county and there's rampant cheating coordinated on social media all over the Bay Area on top of the bizarre planning and changes of plan, making for extremely weird distribution patterns.
Keep safe, and I'm pulling for Chuck.
