Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I would love an NG tube to bypass my throat. Just squeeze some mushed up mash potatoes down the tube . I think I am good with fluids. I am working a fourth mug of fluids since midnight and I have had about 250ml of water... More than I normally drink in a day!

Right now I am taking one bite of corned beef and washing it down with sips of water.
Just evil sore throat bothering me.

That sounds like good progress.

Radically increased need for fluids is a thing with Covid I think. Even the vaccines had that effect (myself very much so with the first; others I know experienced that).
Chloraseptic-type spray okay for you to take? I would be dousing myself with that if possible.

I know way off topic, but you are correct this virus can kick you in the ass. I am reasonably fit, slender, under 60 and female so not the demographic one would think would get really sick.

Generally male, over 60, over weight with risk factors of cardio, diabetes, etc. Are higher risk.

and I have had my 3 doses AND I ensured to mix them - had all three types. That should have made me very protected. But I still am quite ill, I can only imagine how sick if I hadn't my full doses.

As a nurse (even former) I know the value of vaccination, I am old enough to have had patients with childhood polio and how in older years it effects them. They were ill before a vaccine came out poor wee children.

Whatever your beliefs and I value all of them, please make sure to keep your weight down, minimize stress, and try to eat healthy. Don't get run down. If you believe in the vaccine get all of the doses.

even if you don't want the vaccine that's fine, just please, eat right, limit your smoking, try to exercise. Please stay fit and healthy. And try not to be stressed, it's not worth getting your life stressed. I am sure stress has made me run down, and affected my well-being.

As the song says, 'Dont worry be Happy'.

when I am better I will get a crap load of wonderful photos as tax

I hope you will get better soon Kelly!!!

When I had covid 6 weeks ago, it was quite mild. I still took melatonin + Vitamin D + Zinc + Quecetin. I think RC has a good point of getting a pulse oximeter.

I used to know a family of foxes they would look too actually ask for food.

It is sad as you can't trust them with chickens if only they could be trained and fed somehow

Even raised by people from before eyes open, they don't domesticated well. Their mischievous nature gets them on trouble

Ya maybe today. Too sick to go.

Just need evil sore throat to go away so I can drink fluids.

Hot tea with honey to soothe the throat

Awww but Alex she also has you - a good neighbour.

Does she like chickens???

I sent her to a veterinarian friend of mine in town. (He’s retired, but sometimes will see an animal in distress.)

It is all explained in the primer. There is a link in my signature.
