[xtremek]

Hope you[re feeling better this morning.

 

[86turbodsl]

Fight, fight, fight!

I immediately see Ed Harris shouting that. Lol.

 

[harley jim]

Keep fighting Strouty,

 

[Strouty]

Last night was rough, I feel better this morning, but dehydrated, so I am working on that now. I have a headache that is this pounding pain and it is exactly under where I got hit with the beam a while back, the bump is still there and it hurts to touch it. Hopefully I am getting closer to the end of this mess, been 11 days, keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm better looking.




Hold on a bit longer. Remember what bacon tastes like!

 

[walrus]

dehydrated will cause big time headache

 

[xtremek]

Hang tough. Drink plenty of water, zinc, citrus fruit, and vitamin D.

 

[Strouty]

Eating has been pretty bad, I have had some smoothies as everything else makes me feel like I am going to puke. I am drinking plenty of water.

 

[Richard Cranium]

keep us up to date, Hope you get feeling better soon.

 

[racer-john]

Good news. Keep getting better, we need you, friend.

 

[Strouty]

I have to say, the “cough” is more of a convulsion that happens to close my throat off. I actively try not to cough as it feels like my head is going to pop.

I am going to take some drugs and try to fall asleep, seems like once I am out, I am fine.

 

[steaks&anvils]

Chest cold type illnesses feel lousy. Better than puking, mostly.

Sleep well, we are all thinking of you.

 

[mybigwarwagon]

Keep getting better.

 

[Strouty]

Made it through another night.

 

[xtremek]

I take it from that post, still feeling very rough. Take care of yourself.

 

[86turbodsl]

Everybody that i know that went through it took a week or two to feel better. If your pulseox level gets too low, make sure you get some help.

 

[Strouty]

Rough night for sure, I am 12 days in, pulse ox is not great this morning, I am going to give it a bit and see what happens.

 

[mybigwarwagon]

Glad you lasted the night.

 

[walrus]

Rough night for sure, I am 12 days in, pulse ox is not great this morning, I am going to give it a bit and see what happens.

Nobody wants to go to doctors but 12 days of not getting better, its time.

 

[Strouty]

If tonight is still rough, I will be going to the hospital, I can’t take another night like the last couple.

I'm not sure that it's the best idea to wait........

One thing that have been observing is that if a person is knocked down too hard and waits too long for treatment, is that it is difficult to recover from. Especially if the pneumonia sets in. That seems to be one of the bigger risks.

If you haven't already reached out to your doc, I think that would be a good step. Let them help guide your next steps.....

I'm not a doc, but these are my observations. We're pulling for you Strouty!!!

 

[rvieceli]

Strouty please take care. Most folks don't want to go to the doctor but waiting too long can become a BIG PROBLEM.

The pneumonia with that stuff is no joke.

[xtremek]

Please care of yourself, we need stories of knuckle booms, converted fire trucks, and Lista walls.

 

[86turbodsl]

And don't sleep on your back whatever you do.

 

[Monza Harry]

Please take care of yourself, we need stories of knuckle booms, converted fire ( & all kinds of) trucks, SUBURBAN's, boot pic's" and Lista walls.

Fixed that for you X! Get To The Doc, for crying outload Strouty! Harry

 

[Strouty]

I am hopeful that this evening will be better, I have been pumping fluids and have been eating more consistently. I also got some Vicks and it seems to be helping too.

A truck load of VIcks overturned on the interstate this morning. Surprisingly "there was no congestion around the accident" police said. Hope you feel better soon.

Great uncle Lester always said that skunk oil rubbed on your chest cleared up the congestion. Or kerosene if you don't have any skunk oil. You don't smoke do you?

Uncle Lester was an "frugal" old depression era, tough as shoe leather, do it yourself to get it done kind of guy. He and Aunt Pearl lived in a box car out on the farm in Strong City Kansas during the depression. Until the farm house could be build anyway.

 

[xtremek]

Hope you're feeling better this morning.

 

[Strouty]

Last night was not as bad as the last few, hopefully I am working out of it now.

 

[Ford52PU]

I've lost some friends since this plague started please take care of yourself. Dont let it get the upper hand.

Sounds like my Grandmother.

 

[rvieceli]

My grandmother made up a chest rub from coal oil, turpentine and lard. Put it in the blue Noxema jars. Warm it up in a pan of water on the stove and slather it on. Worked wonders.

 

[bulletpruf]

Strouty - how are you doing today???

 

[Strouty]

So far better than yesterday, I need to be able to actually cough something up and out, it seems to just be bouncing around in there causing me grief.

 

[bimmer1980]

There was a YouTube video from a doc that showed how to use a specific downward facing position to encourage better breathing and to help clear gunk out... It was similar to a downward facing yoga pose.

Not sure if this would help or not, but might be worth a try.

Your mileage may vary. Glad to hear you are starting to feel better!

 

[86turbodsl]

I've always had good luck with spicy food, and hot steamy showers for getting crud up and out.

 

[Strouty]

Hot shower works for me too, also have used cayenne pepper on an apple, but into it, sprinkle it on, repeat.

I tested negative for the COVID virus today.

 

[racer-john]

Great news, Strouty.
