Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

If it's impossible to catch in the hospital why are 600 health care workers out with the virus or in quarantine from the clinic I go to.
I asked about that and both said they are catching it in the community. The Covid cases are in, I think it’s called, negative air pressure rooms.

I'm not sure what a negative air pressure room is. I do think, however, some Are catching it in the clinics and hospitals with people coming in coughing all over the place with covid. I don't know if they have neg. air press. rooms here.

Well, that’s the issue, it might be that our hospitals are safer than your hospitals. Idk. But our places are very very careful. I had a phone conference with this doctor and he ordered the test based on my history, my doctor urgent recommendation, and my symptoms. He will see me after testing is completed.
 

I am in the process of restoring a 1941 23 ton switch engine
Today was a semi-successful day. We troubleshot the fuel shutoff wiring and discovered that the fuse was blown. We removed the panel switch, and found a third wire going to a run time meter. The meter was shorted, which blew the fuse. Disconnecting the meter solved the problem.
We tried to diagnose the fuel problem. We removed the shutoff switch and verified it was working. Working backwards, we saw there was no fuel at the fuel input to the fuel pump. We tried priming it, and it sucked fuel in. but not enough. By that time we ran out of battery.
I will have to go out and put a 4 hour 8 amp charge on the battery shortly.

I surely will. One thing I have been thinking about since my diagnosis, by the EMG doctor, Was that surgery which will most likely be the recommended solution. I'm not concerned about having the surgery, But.....Should I have it Now with the constant and increasing threat of Covid 19?

In my meeting with the doctor on Wednesday I wall ask about the long term impact of delaying the surgery. According to the EMG doctor the delay in the repair can result in muscle loss, that will not be recovered. But then there is the dangers of going into the hospital with even more exposure to Covid 19 with surgery resulting in a reduction in my immunity.

Any thoughts?
I personally wouldn't be getting any elective surgeries right now - the virus is on the upswing in this area.

That said, my husband had carpal tunnel surgeries about five years ago. The surgeries were a few months apart. If he had to do it over again he would have done it much sooner. He lost a lot of dexterity by delaying and the recovery wasn't nearly as bad as he expected.

Star.....Thanks so much for sharing that! I appreciate it. I was hoping to get that "Been there done that" response. Very valuable information. My surgeon, when she prescribed the EMG, had that concern that I was going to loosen a lot of muscle by delaying repair. I will post the results from my Wednesdays meeting so others are informed as well. Regards....
 
This morning I've done nothing of note. Slept badly woke up in a lot of pain ( re the back injury)... but once I'd got a heat pad and taken Ibuprofen it settled down.
Cooked a a full English breakfast (brunch).. sun is shining ,52 f.. and his nibs has just left for work (it's 1.45pm). He's working outside all night and through the night until around 4am .....

Go back to bed, go sit in a chair, GO REST. (Not actually telling you what to do, just forceful suggestions) 😅. If I lived by you, I’d come sit with you. I am good at sitting. Yes, I did not offer to do your housework. I am friendly, not crazy.

I am so sorry you are still in so much pain, but lord love a duck slow down. Work you don’t do today will still be there tomorrow. I know this. I’ve tested this serval times, on a daily basis, in case there is one particular day that the housekeeping fairies show up. Apparently, I am not Snow White.

Do you know that if you leave your dishes in the sink, overnight, the dish fairy will not come and wash them? Those dishes will wait for you. If you fail to dust, for a week or more, do you know what you get? More dust. But laundry, if you leave laundry in the basket socks disappear, so less laundry and you get to buy new socks. 😂. I know you like to shop. 🤓

Get better. Feel better. Listen to great grandmother Aneeda who, forcefully suggests and request that you take it easy, but knows you won’t. But, hey, not telling you what to do. 🤣😍. K, now I’m tired. Got to rest. Advising friends is hard work. 😆. @hollydolly
 
Socks? Sure, I get paid my SSI on the 3rd, but husband got paid Friday and I can use his money. Tell me size, what kind, and when I can expect you at my house to pick them up. 😂😂😂
pick them up ?...Pick them up?.. are you not undertsanding dear grandmother that I'm in Pain... can you not fly them over to me?.. you can have a very comfortable seat on a nice aeroplane, and with nice people serving you drinks

Serving me drinks and the virus-😂. No, no, grandmother can not fly, no, no. No, no, grandmother does not drink. And while grandmother can afford socks, grandmother can not afford a plane ticket which is why you have grown up without me. 😆. Poor dear, your memory has fogged up due to the pain.
 
I don't plan on doing anything today other than taking a walk and reading.
Yesterday I spent the afternoon making repairs and adjustments to our sprinkler system. It seems odd that it is still so warm here that we have to water once or twice a week. Some of our bushes are getting ready to put out flowers.
talking of warm.. my daughter in Spain just sent me these she took a picture of a few moments ago on her land, the aloe-Vera flowers are sooo pretty aren't they ?

I bet they will be beautiful!
 
Today with the help of my o/h we collected a next to new second hand coffee table with was advertised on FB marketplace.. to put in my daughters temp rental house for when she arrives in 2 weeks.

Did a whole ton of shopping..( I still can't lift anything due to my fall 4 weeks ago).. hubs had today off after working through the night, so he came with me.. and we bought a load of hardware and cleaning stuff to put in the rental.... then we did some shopping at Aldi for us .. some steak, and bacon, and pre-cut bread rolls...etc .

Pity of it was that usually if we go shopping we go to the pub for a drink half way through, or even lunch... but because we're in our 2nd round of lockdown, the pubs are all closed :(
 
Second load of laundry is on.

My idea of having extra food on hand was to store it in the store. Go buy it when I needed it. That was until Covid. Now my shopping has to be limited. My kitchen is small so now I’m rearranging some shelves in the back entry to pack away more goods. I don’t like this.

I’ve got to make a list of all the items. I know I’ll forget, been there and done that too many times.
