STEAM ROOM FOR ANGER

I know Alice is going to love this-so here you go ladies, this quote from a co-worker:

"I only cough in here. I go home and I didn't cough at all. I have been coughing and sneezing, I am sure driving everyone nuts. I think it may be the dry air and it's so warm in here. I feel fine today. I'm sure I should have stayed home last week, but I don't want to use my PTO for a sick day. I know, it's wrong. So, I get everyone sick. I did take a rapid test and I'm fine. I get my booster today at 3:30 and a flue shot. I am prepared to be rough tomorrow but I think I'll be fine."

Unbelievable!

Thank God my boss has no problem with me working remotely and I don't have to be there sucking in everyone's germs. While at home yesterday my landlord was by, and I had no idea how stupid he and his girlfriend have become. I lived here for years and have always liked them. She apparently breaks out in a rash whenever she's around vaccinated people. He is convinced the shot changes your DNA. The man is surviving a stage iv thyroid cancer with conventional treatment and swears if it comes back he won't do conventional, he's going to Mexico.

Honestly, WTF is wrong with people? They are getting dumber by the day!!!! My vent for today!!! ARGH

Oh KIDI919 I am heartbroken for you and your family. I am so sorry. Sending you hugs and love today.

(((((((((KIDI919))))))))) our sincerest condolences.

KIDI, that's heartbreaking! I'm so sorry...

ctm - ??????? She gets a rash when she's around vaccinated people? Maybe tell her you're NOT vaccinated and see if her rash goes away. When it does, you can say, "Oops, my bad. I guess I AM vaccinated, after all."

KIDI919, I'm so sorry. May her memory be a blessing

KID - I am so sorry for your loss. I wish people would take this more seriously. We are all here to help

KID1919, I am so very sorry. How horrible. Peace to you and all who loved her.

KID1919 - I’m so sorry about the loss of your SIL. Hope you can find peace in the wonderful memories you two shared. So many loved ones are being stolen from us by one damn disease or another

KID, like others, I offer my deepest condolences on the loss of your sister-in-law. I hope the days ahead will bring you comfort as you reflect on her memory.

Another day at home, alone, working. Glad I can at least function but these coughing bouts have me on the fence of whether or not to seek medical attention. It feels a little like bronchitis however I am not coughing anything up and no wheezing. Vitamins, lots of water, and advil are helping. Will be adding in some honey today. Have some garlic cloves in some water on the stove going to try breathing that in as well. It helps the inflammation for me, anyway.

I have a dexa and the low dose lung ct scan next week. Hope I don't have to reschedule.

I called my friend last evening and told her not to expect me at my friends memorial service. I just can't do it.

Thank you denny10. I did do a covid test and it's negative. yea! Just finished a report for work, and there is nothing else "due" today so I may knock off here soon and go rest. I did the pre-check in for my appointments (twice, you have to do each one separately!) The covid text survey will come on Monday so I am hopeful I will be feeling much better by then. It's been a long time since I've been ill for this long (more than 2-3 days). Improvement is coming now. Pretty confident of that. I cancelled all plans for the weekend. Just having that pressure off is also a help for me to rest and heal.

Hope you and everyone here that has been so gracious to me has a wonderful weekend.

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts. This is maybe not the forum to post on but at a loss as where to go. I have my sisters to turn to for comfort. My brother is going to be lost. Cindy was the best thing that ever happened to him, He is a homebody

with a capital H! If not for her he would never leave his recliner. Now we will have to shift his butt

My rant: Last Friday I got my long-awaited (first) tattoo commemorating my two bouts with cancer (the semicolons mean "a story not yet finished"). Two days later, I found a new lump in my good breast. Birads 4C. Biopsy scheduled next week. Looks like I'm headed for my THIRD BOUT with this stupid beast. Oh, and with Christmas coming up, DH and I have pre-emptively decided we will not share any bad news we get until after the holidays. Which is the same approach we took after bout #1 which we learned about three days before our wedding. Feels like I spend more time protecting other people than dealing with my own feelings. Ugh!

Sunshinegal: So sorry about your news. Sending thoughts your way. We also put off telling anyone until after a big, planned vacation with family.

Sunshine - Don't consider that not sharing the news is protecting others, consider it preserving YOUR holidays. I'm very open with friends about my diagnosis, but had scans in the fall just before trip with girlfriends and determined that I'd delay the news until the fun was over. I think you are protecting yourself and that is good. You can get their support after enjoying the fun.
