The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Poor DH did a phone consultation with the doctor because he needs a medical certificate for work. The doctor said that DH needed to go and get re-tested for Covid-19 because 20% of the tests come back as a false negative. It doesn't sound pleasant to have the back of your nasal cavity swabbed.

The doctor told him he has to be free of symptoms for 48 hours before returning to work and said it's most likely DH has Influenza A. He wants him off work until the end of this week.

DH is better, but not back to his usual energetic self. My husband is never cold - but at the moment he's feeling cold quite frequently.
There is a test for influenza aa too
 
Still having problems with eating. I'm hungry, want to eat (I think) then feel nauseated and dump the food. The pharmacist told me to get some Pepto Bismol tablets for digestive issues. I don't see that it would work but...... he's been a good friend for many years. Our sons went through acne together.

I get every vaccine I can get from my pharmacist. It makes good sense to me -fortunately Medicare B covers most of them - or there is a small co-pay - usually not more than $ 3-4.
If I get at the doctor they charge for administering the shot plus I have to get transportation there.

Sooner or later our Township senior/disabled folks bus takes us to Target where I get my prescriptions. Thankfully they have become CVS pharmacy at Target (while keeping the same great staff). Generic prescrips are usually $1.25. When you fill 9 prescriptions they give you a $ 5. Target coupon to spend in store.(or at least our store does).

Haven't been getting many of the cps. because they changed me to 90 day supplies even tho doctor didn't prescribe that. :confused: Scary knowing the Chinese make our prescription drugs. Who ever thought that was a good idea??? USA (pres?) thought so.

I asked at pharmacy if they will still be doing shots because with the covid problem, they have to touch people (yes wearing gloves tho) and also be much closer than 6 feet away. Was told they are gearing up for flu shots. Something tells me lines will be tremendous.

I've been told staying current on flu shots can be of some value(?) in case of covid because viruses tend to have some of the same symptoms.

Just shopping at Target today there was a line of would be shoppers out to the alley. They were just letting more people IN as other shoppers walked out. Everyone wearing a mask- must wear them(when out of their home) according to our governor.

BTW as far as I know Wally World doesn't offer similar perks and wants more for generic prescriptions. Good to know all this stuff . I hear the President is gearing up to give out a second round of stimulus checks, never got one the first time. Guess I am too small for him to notice . People I know who are "well off," got $ 150. checks from him.

Wish it were in my power to keep all of us safe and healthy.
I hope you feel better soon!
 
My sister passed away on Friday. Glad she's happy now. That was tough for her. I had heard and read that this would be an easy one. Hard on us now.
May She rest in Peace!
 
Good morning folks :frow

Create as in new BYC usernames with passwords and all or just make something up for the form?

Good of you to do this. I spent plenty of years at work trying to find the one odd combination of things that would cause a program to error out.
No need to create real byc accounts something like Bruce1-5 will do the trick with the form.
