Finally stopped snowing here. My body is still sore from shovelling out yesterday. Hubby came home and fixed the snowblower to finish it up. Roads are still bad so I wont be going anywhere which sucks because I have errands to run. I'd say we got about a foot of snow.

Glad it's missing me now, it'll take me the ext 2 days to clear it all.

Possibly some lake effect a little later but the storm is just underneath us now. Lots of cloud cover and ice but thats about it. Honestly we lucked out. They were predicting 18 inches for us.

Say Hayden what's the reasoning on placing a lot of covid patients on their stomach instead of back?

We have about a foot of snow too.
As I understand it, trial and error showed that Covid patients can breathe easier when face down, not on their backs.
Hope to not have personal experience with this!

The cross section of a lung is a triangle with the largest side to the rear of the body.
Lying on your back (supine), the fluid (pneumonia) fills a large surface area. If you are placed 'prone' the fluid moves to the front and more space is free to exchange air. These patients are usually ventilated and heavily sedated.

They're usually on a 20h prone / 4h supine schedule.
It is also encouraged for non ventilated patients with breathing difficulties.

Day 15. Free tests still not shipped.

AGH! People are so irresponsible!
Those 'friends' of mine that are unvaccinated and endangering my Addison's disease friend, they have COVID. After they've been talking to everyone in town. Agh! I'm starting to hate them. My little brother has a rash, 4 days after going down the waterslide with them.

I forgot to mention, because of them, my Addison's disease friend's son has COVID, and he is only like 16 so he still live with her. So yeah.

Good luck! Mum brought 2 tests yesterday. They were $25 each.
I hope you get them soon!
