The Old Folks Home

Good morning, OF. My body is starting to win the battle with this respiratory virus that is attacking me.

Did you get checked for pneumonia?

Good morning Old Folks.

Did you get checked for pneumonia?

yep - negative for both Covid and pneumonia - I have to wonder did anyone ever have to call 911 because they could not stop coughing?

 

[pennyJo1960]

Took a hot shower sure felt great.
Looks like I may have scratched the right eye.

I'm drunked up on Benadryll, Dayquill, and a muscle relaxer. Party is over and I'm doing down for a nap.

 

[pennyJo1960]

I do not get drunk on Benadryl.
Must be the muscle relaxer doing it.
I barely ever take naps except recently do in my chair.
Really cold here have a fire in the stove.

Benadryl doesn’t work on me (Or Brew oddly enough LOL). Makes us both hyper

 

[Nomadicus]

Low dose can induce sleep in some of us but a higher dose dose make us hyper. Only one tablet at night. I take two in the daytime. Just took two more and at bedtime I'll only take one.

Whooping cough?
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious bacterial infection that causes severe coughing fits:

• Symptoms
  Pertussis usually starts with cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, fever, and mild cough. After 1–2 weeks, the cough worsens and becomes a series of violent coughing fits that can last for weeks. The coughing fits can end with a high-pitched "whoop" sound, which indicates the person is trying to catch their breath.

Whooping cough?

Been there, done that frequently as a child. Scary stuff for a little kid.
