Please take care of yourself and give yourself time to heal. It can take awhile.  Warm humidified air can help soothe irritated bronchioles so if you have a humidifier set one up near you.

Mindy, it took me a few days to fully recover and I felt tired and weak for a few days. Hopefully you feel better soon.

 

Hugs,

Day 13 of my COVID-19 experience.

 

Good afternoon everyone,

@Gabriel@Bri2020@Erica Gabriel@Confused1 thank you for you care and input on getting better. Both Suzie and I feel much better today. There's still a nagging tickle down in my chest that causes me to cough if I try to take a deep breath. I'm ready to make an appointment for my followup COVID-19 test to see if I'm still Positive. On a sad note one of Suzie's coworkers passed away because of COVID complications. He was a young man from the shipping department. I have a couple of classmates who are hospitalized with their own battles of COVID. Suzie and I consider ourselves very lucky to apparently have had mild cases. Please pray, burn incense, light candles, or send positive energy to those who are hospitalized battling this virus, and the families who have lost loved ones. Suzie and I are healthy and getting better.

 

Hugs (masked)

I'm glad you're feeling better, but stay on top of it for a few more days. COVID can do a bounce thing where you start to feel better, then it piledrivers you. Stay safe sweetie!

 

Hugs!

Mindy, the health department here told me I was likely to test positive again for about 3 months. I had to get retested after 2 months to see a doctor who required a negative test to get in. I tested negative, so I don't know if what they told me is true or not. Still, I think I would hold off for little while before getting retested.

 

Hugs,

Thanks Mike, I'll check with my pharmacist tomorrow. I have a heart procedure on December 28th and I'm sure they'll want to know my COVID status.

Depends on the test. An antibody type test will show up for a while but a PCR test should be clear once virus counts are negligible.

I am not a doctor or nurse, so I don't know what test they are using. However, the test they required was the same one they did when I tested positive 2 months earlier. That is the one the health department was talking about.

 

Hugs,

Mike

Good evening everyone, today was Day 14 of my COVID-19 experience.

It's the first day were I can say that I'm truly on the healthy side of this infection.

Suzie and I both feel good, with only a slight tickle in the back of our throats causing an occasional cough.

 

Thank you for the care and concern over these past two weeks.

Congratulations to the both of you. As someone who has done the "cough your lungs out" thing... frequently... I know how unpleasant that can be. I'm glad you're both feeling better. Take care of yourselves anyway. Now there's healing to do!

 

Hugs!

Good evening everyone, Day 15 of my COVID-19 experience.

 

Today has been a restful day, my Suzie and I are feeling good, and tomorrow we'll be starting the week as a normal work week. We both feel like we're over this COVID-19 virus, and consider ourselves very blessed that it was mild cases when you compare what others have gone through. One of Suzie's coworkers passed away last week from COVID-19 complications. He was a young man in his late 40's, we pray for his family in these toughest of times.

 

Stay COVID aware and safe,

 

Mindy???

Thank you @KayC

 

Day 16 of my COVID-19 experience.

 

Today I'm working in the shop completing a training prop build. I'm taking it easy because I do feel weak from doing nothing for the last 16 days. I will say one benefit of not working in the shop for two weeks. Long damage free nails. My family isn't quite ready for me to polish them yet, however I'm thinking a nice clear coat my be in my future. Here's what I'm building. It's a MC-331 Propane/Anhydrous Ammonia transport tank for classroom training.

That's really cool, and helpful to those people who will be transporting and responsible for those tanks. Safety first, stay and be well.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
