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.

I’m happy to hear your wonderful update @Mmindy. Just in time for Christmas too! I hope you and Suzie feel fully recovered by then!  Best holiday wishes to you both!

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.

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.
