RE: Grandpa Gotta Cold

in #community4 years ago

Lol...Get a cold in these parts and you're buggered, they stick a poker up your schnoz (nose) and scratch your brain looking for covid. Hell, if you cough because you swallowed a peanut wrong they do it!

I've got no remedies for you mate, rest I guess, stay warm...Some say a hot toddy works a treat, but I think it's more about getting smashed than anything else.

Stay safe mate, rest up and drink plenty of water. If your temperature goes up maybe it's worth a covid brain scratch test. :)

Hey, @galenkp.

Here, people will look at you funny, and a few might even wonder out loud what's wrong with you, or tell you to go away. :)

As far as I know, testing here is still restricted to those who probably require some sort of treatment, if not hospitalization. Or, if you know you've come in contact with someone who has tested positive for the virus. Otherwise, you're left to your own devices, which I'm okay with.

Okay, well, that's cool. I've been getting the additional sleep, doing as much lounging as possible (usually in front of a computer), and been drinking water. Haven't taken my temperature, but haven't felt either overly hot or cold so far. Yesterday was probably the worst day yet, so I'm hoping I've only got another day or two of that before I'm on the downward side.

Thanks for the well-wishing.

You're on the mend...I just consulted my fellow medical team and they say, continue to rest, hydrate and hive. You'll be all better in four days. :)
