Chat-a-Thon 2017-18 Thread!

Good evening fellow SC dwellers! It's been one of those days trying to navigate the medical system but thankful that I live here and not in Yankee Doodle land. Nice change in the weather which made for a good walk. Physically and mentally it helps to be able to get out.
Belated birthday greetings to the meme master @GoJays hope it was a good one!
Sorry to hear about your DD @Lynn49 hoping and praying that it's not Covid and that she will be better soon! I concur with you that as a parent you still worry no matter what the age. Indeed I also hope and pray that we ALL stay safe and healthy!
Have a great week one and all!

Our DD has a covid test at 6pm today; we'll all be anxiously awaiting those results. Thank Heaven she's much better today, but precautions must be taken. The only one leaving the house is her Hubby, but he's so careful for all of us, I hope nothing snuck in.

She did tell her DH that it didn't taste "right", just something, couldn't put her finger on it, but she's been struggling with her sinus problem so put it down to that. The boys didn't have a burger, they had chicken...

I'm happy to hear that your Daughter is fine now. It's so scary out there now!
Personally I hate Tims' coffee, food's okay on a road trip but we've never just ordered from there in town.

Let's hope and pray we ALL stay safe and healthy!!

Lynn49, that happened 6 weeks ago. She is back to work progressively right now and her blood test from Friday showed there is no active bacteria in her blood now but she has to go for blood tests again in 6 weeks just to make sure. while she was in ICU, she was tested for Covid 4 times and all came up negative.

Rolllllllllll up the RRRRRRRRRRRim to win! Yay! so far weve won 2 resuable cups, 1 coffee , 40 points and 1 prize for headphones.

lol.... @GoJays I thought that hug emoji looked a little " handsy " but I have not had my eyes checked in nearly 2 years so it could be just me squinting and guessing!

Had a better night with some sleep toward morning.

Had an awesome evening, son came over for a visit and we fed him too. Even though we msg almost daily, he is scared of carrying the virus to us - since he is in contact with so many people daily, so he goes longer between visits.

He sure raises my spirits!
@Lynn49 - hope your daughter is better soon.
Just in general, true food poisoning is quite rare, most often people have caught a bout of a tummy bug.

I unfortunately had food poisoning whilst at university, my third year. Never experienced such pain and Sorry TMI, so very much gut pain, puking and the runs ... Didn't know the body could do all that.

I was staying at a small residence near campus and it was St. Patrick's Day. They had made a big meal since it was a special day - roast beef and all the trimmings.
The poisoning was from the mushrooms used in the gravy.

Now imagine communal bathrooms, not a good plan when such a high percentage of us got sick on the girls and guys floors.

I never, ever want to go through that again. I was 19, phoned home - all I wanted was my Mommy!

I can empathize. I had it a few years back with my guts all knotted up. I lay on my bathroom floor unable to move as the food made its way through my digestive tract. It only lasted a few hours and improved immediately after I expelled the offending material. I'm glad the human body has such defensive mechanisms to try and protect us.

Thank heavens she's come through that successfully, @SnowFlakey , but still, how curious that no one could determine the reason it happened in the first place.

Something very similar happened to me several years ago....I was experiencing excruciating abdominal pain that developed over a period of several days that sent me to our doctor. Evidently I was dangerously close to going septic!!

I've never seen our doctor look so concerned in my life after my exam. He put me on a course of "nuclear-strength" (as he called it) antibiotics which cleared up that invasive infection.

Now here's something everyone should hear: I couldn't understand how that could have happened until one day I realized my mistake! We always have 'flushable tidy wipes' in our bathroom, a brand name, Cottonelle, but one day I saw something very similar at a $stir which I bought and was using. THAT had to be the culprit! I checked the label.....you can guess where it was made....and I thought of the process, the water they may have used and omgosh! I could have kicked myself!

So the moral of the story: do not buy any products manufactured " there" if it's to be intended for use anywhere near delicate areas! Not even eye makeup remover! Nothing! It's just not worth it!

Anyhoodles! It's a beautiful sunny day, temp is supposed to hit +7, so we'll be bbqing dinner since we don't have a stove...how nice that it's mild enough to do that for us! :biggrin:

Enjoy your day, stay safe, everyone!!
