It is a job the little things that irritate have to be shelved. I suppose the medical staff
are as worried as much as the patients . Of course you must get help if you need it.

At least you have not got much contact as long as you can get sufficient food supplies. I hope you can keep well, I know it must be pretty grim for you. I would try writing your story if you can, we all enjoy reading about your girlhood and your adventures.
After all you have kissed the Blarney stone. Also ordered cold drinks to the amazement of the proprietor and for bravery you slid down into a Pyramid ,

It seems like it's so hard to find good healthcare these days with all the bureaucracy. I sure would love to see a change there.

Glad to hear that you are doing better.
The testing for the virus is expensive here in Pennsylvania. If you do not have a fever along with the cough, they will not even consider giving you the test. Everything is either expensive or unavailable. We are at our wit's end. Our county is one of the highest in the state for those who have the virus. It just isn't safe to go anywhere.

You're right, health care is a royal pain in the fanny.
But at least you've got you keeping an eye on your condition and the knowledge to seek more help if it's necessary. I've thought of several things to say, then deleted them because they ended up being negative and unhelpful. Hope you feel better soon, dear Kabu - put your feet up, sip some hot lemonade with a teaspoon of fine single-malt whiskey and get some rest.

So glad that you are in contact with the M.D., dear. It's a terrible time to be unwell. I am concerned for you and know that you are doing all you can to get better. Hopefully the weather will warm and you will heal. But do be vigilant. Hugs to you, S. Sister.

Oh wow....We are so lucky. I pay $122/month and the vast majority of fees are included and most of my prescriptions are included or $9 charge for Metformin.
PS I wasn't jumping your case...just worried about ya...
