Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments

Postby mac5155 » Mon Jun 15, 2020 2:31 pm

Grandma came home with some new hardware in her hip this morning.

The Hospital wanted to speak to her PCP. She hadn't been to the Dr since 1984 with a ruptured hernia. So getting through the discharge was fun.

Luckily my mom, aunt, and uncle are all retired / unemployed at the moment, so she will pretty much have them live there with her for a while.

I've come down with an illness. Fatigue, a little bit of a cough, slight headache, slight nasal congestion, and some GI issues. Called my doctor's office at UPMC to run everything by them, and while they thought the chances of me having Covid-19 are low, they said I could have a referral for a test if I wanted it, so I'm going to the South Side tomorrow to get a test to make sure.

I got tested last week because I was in contact with a person who tested positive.

Thankfully my test came back negative.

Hoping the same Shyster.

My wife owes a $40 co-pay each time she goes to radiation. Which is 20 times this month for the full course of treatment. Yay.

My Covid-19 test was negative. I must have had something else.

Woke up with the tension headache to end all tension headaches. Almost feels like I'm hungover.

Any easy remedies? I tried a heating pad for 20 minutes but I'm still getting the pain stretching over my entire head.

Neck did this again last night. Was out of commission from like 730 until 9 this morning.

I need to get back to the chiro

Getting sick during a pandemic has been my fear - playing the is it covid or not game. I've gotten an earache today which is the first time since I've had swimmers ear like 15 years ago. It's not a covid symptom but still annoying. Hopefully it doesn't end up being as big of a pain in the ass as the time I had swimmers ear, that was misery

Anyone here crack or break a rib? If so, can it make your whole side hurt and make sleeping a huge pita?

I cracked two ribs after some asshat ran me in a bantam game. I slept in a recliner for about two weeks and chewed 800 mg Tylonel like they were tic-tacs. On the 15th day, I felt 100%. It was weird. I was also 15 years old

NTP66 - Ha. I can't blame this one on Somerset. Last Thursday I was cleaning some detritus from the gutters. After I finished I got two feet on the ladder when it kicked back and I fell onto the deck. Not one of my finer moments.

meow - Thanks for the info! Nights are rough. I'm a side sleeper and any time I get close to rolling onto that side it just screams.

I had ribs inflamed/separated from my sternum after a car accident. (Costochondritis) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costochondritis

That was miserable. Hydrocodone was my only friend.

And yes broken ribs are all you described.
