48 hours to improve, or hospital. This is rough. Later.

Symptoms sound a heap like Delta-Covid. Ain't no picnic when you feel bad, your saturated O2 tanks, and when you breathe it doesn't do any good.

There is an inexpensive O2 saturation monitor that fits over the end of a finger that can help steer you to health or hospital. Supplemental O2 (bottled oxygen or oxygen accumulator), if you have or can get it, might give you the relief you need, and keep you out of the hospital.

Hope you are better soon - and without a trip to the hospital.

Praying that you get better, and don't have to go into the hospital.

Hope you are doing better this morning and avoid the hospital stay. Your cow critters need you.

Came back negative on covid . . .

That's good
When I was sickly a while back, my
dr's office seemed kinda disappointed
that my covid test was negative.
Had another since that was also negative.
I truly think that they are wanting us
to be sickly

Give it time, it'll be gone

Dee. Hope you’re feeling better and back in the saddle soon.

Glad to hear of the "helped some" and hope you improve quickly.

I had a little session with the ear, nose, and throat guy earlier this week. About a month or so ago my not so great hearing went south. Sounded like my ears were full of water. Pills from our regular doctor were helping until they were gone and then it returned just as bad as before so that resulted in a referral to the specialist which I saw on Tuesday. He poked a hole in my right eardrum and suctioned out whatever was causing the problem and this morning I seem to be back to my normal hearing which is half deaf. The procedure was rather unpleasant but was quick.

I'm feeling some better, throats still a little sore, my ears are stopped up, and for some reason the hinge of my jaw is acting up.
It's a years old injury that visits occasionally, but has decided to hang around.

Godspeed and Blessed Easter to you Dan.
There is something going around; I imagine the common cold version of the Corna virus.
Other than that , some are already getting big hits of allergies.

OK ==> Lockjaw.

I feed a lot of sorghum roundbale hay. Never been around it much, but I suspect I have an allergy to it that I let go too long.

It very well could be allergies to it. I have had allergies and asthma all my life and about any organic dust will quickly reduce me to gasping for breath. There is help for it though. An N 25 mask is my first line of defense and a nebulizer second on the list. I used to wear a paint respirator when I helped my dad put up alfalfa hay.

Get a mask and go feed those cows and see if it helps.

Going tomorrow to get the masks, and I have a nebulizer sitting next to my chair.

You have had a tough road to travel for some days now. Hopefully, you will continue to improve. Best wishes for that.
Pete

Thanks Pete, this is really hanging on, and now Linda has it. I'm going back to work today, but am going to do most from the truck and tractor.

Probably have to acclimate to the high
plains chill again. The wind in that region
is like a walk in cooler to me
Gets worse up in the OK PH
My eyes get full of fine dirt several
times a day when I've been in that area

Dee · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2022, 02:20:37 PM »

It was dry and cold this morning for sure.
