Spanish Flu - Symptoms, How It Began & Ended - HISTORY

This sound similar to anyone?
However, a second, highly contagious wave of influenza appeared with a vengeance in the fall of that same year. Victims died within hours or days of developing symptoms, their skin turning blue and their lungs filling with fluid that caused them to suffocate. In just one year, 1918, the average life expectancy in America plummeted by a dozen years.
 
Sadly yes,. it does sound familiar. And they had even less info back then.

That mask suggestion (in the video you posted)
is a great improvement, when that's the only kind someone has available atm.

I never even thought about messing with it to make it close like that. Pretty nifty idea. I saw it on a CDC video but I just grabbed the first thing YouTube had.
 
I wish there was a way to block entire threads so we didn't even have to see them on the list.

Anyway...morning. :coffee:
Just waking up. Doing a breathing treatment. My O2 was 89 this morning when I woke up. I hate when it gets that low. I'm sure once I get back to work some of this stuff will improve with moving around. Still nothing to do except chilling out.

Been busy trying to fill in empty spots and laying path down to connect everything on my video game. I'm planning to add some other area to it but I don't know what yet.

Same here Marci.

Hope your O2 levels improve
 
It's going well thanks. Been looking at possible solutions for a new car I can drive in my electric wheelchair.

Feel free to PM me if you ever want to

Yes I have, but up to now I've used a manual chair which I've folded up and put in the back seat. Now I need one I can get my electric chair into and drive sitting in that

Well good luck to you. I'm sure having to deal with that is no fun at all.

Since you are going back to work, I guess that means you are feeling better? I hope so.

I still have some discomfort but I'm well enough to resume my usual routine and work. I will still have to be careful but otherwise I'm fine. I think some of this stuff will clear up more once I get back to work. Sitting here doing nothing has done nothing for my lungs or my muscles around the rib so I'm sure the first couple days are gonna hurt like hell and it will be hard to breathe. But I'll manage. Once I recover from this completely I need to resume going up and walking on the treadmills in the gym every evening after work. That will help my lungs.

Hi, @MarciKS I've been pretty well thanks. Dared to go out to lunch with a friend last week. It felt so good! Pasta Carbonara; mmmmm.

Hope your rib is coming along!

Rib is good. A little discomfort but otherwise fine. I imagine there will be some discomfort for a while. Took me long enough to heal up. I got my brace to wear to work so that should help. Taking some lido patches with me too.

That pasta sounds yummy.

I had enough points for a free pizza so that's what I'm having for lunch. 😋
 
Had to take the garbage out today cuz tomorrow is pickup day. I went ahead and fed the squirrels. Hopefully they forgive me for not being able to feed them for a month and a half.
