* hugs * my darling sprite

12:42 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello darling. I am so so happy I made that recording. The GP was shocked.

12:42 am

grannyrose

very wise of you darling. so what has the GP planned to do?

12:43 am

sprite

she has referred him to a specialist here in the hospital. He is gonna call them today for an appointment.

12:44 am

grannyrose

nag him honey. make sure he acts on it.

12:45 am

sprite

oh no worries, I will. If it is needed. I think the recording and the reactions on it have shaking him up, I heard him tell someone on the phone yesterday: "It scared me to death." So that is good.

12:46 am

grannyrose

i hear you. my sister-in-law has recorded my brother's sleep apnea, and he says no way i'm gonna wear a machine.

12:46 am

grannyrose

awed

12:46 am

grannyrose

sorry

12:46 am

grannyrose

sorry

12:46 am

grannyrose

sorry

12:47 am

grannyrose

argghhh

12:47 am

sprite

that is stupid. If it is needed, it is needed. And as you said to me, the upside of that is how much more energy you will have once you start sleeping well again

12:47 am

grannyrose

but i do have a good reason for these mistakes.

12:47 am

sprite

all good, grin

12:47 am

sprite

what is your good reason?

12:48 am

grannyrose

i tested positive to covid this morning. a mac truck has run over me. everything aches. and i coughed until i vomited when i woke up.

12:49 am

grannyrose

this is my first time. so feeling pretty wretched.

12:49 am

sprite

awwww sweetie.... I hear you! I went through it three times. It is not a fun virus.

12:50 am

grannyrose

using the nebuliser regularly is helping.

12:50 am

grannyrose

soot

12:51 am

grannyrose

oh for pete sakes...

12:51 am

sprite

okay: plenty to drink, lots of resting, absolutely no intense activities at all, and if it is over and you are still very tired all the time, or short of breath, you need to get post covid therapy

12:51 am

grannyrose

i know. so i wasn

12:52 am

grannyrose

supoosed to clean the bathroom, and do the washing?

12:52 am

grannyrose

H E L P

12:53 am

grannyrose

that was meant to be .... so i wasn't supposed to clean the bathroom, and do the washing?

12:53 am

sprite

no sweetie, you are not supposed to do all that. Your body needs to focus on beating this virus. Either Don will have to step up, or you need to have (more) help for a few weeks

12:55 am

sprite

oh, and once you start feeling well again: you need to build up your activities again! Not jumping back into the old pattern all at once, but building up slowly. Is important!

12:55 am

grannyrose

honey, my coughing attack this morning went on for 45 minutes. and where was my beloved? sitting on his computer playing games. it was close to ambulance time and ICU

12:55 am

sprite

can I kick him?

12:56 am

sprite

in that case, do not wait for him to step up. Just call your cleaning lady, explain and tell her you will need her more often for a few weeks. And of course you need to wear a mask when others are around, but you know that.

12:56 am

grannyrose

be my guest. he said he didn't think it was any worse than usual.

12:56 am

sprite

he can be such a jerk. Sorry hon, you know I love him, but it is true

12:58 am

grannyrose

i know. if it's not happening to him, it's okay. i was vomiting for heavens sake.

12:59 am

grannyrose

first born versus last born. i think he was pampered so muvh by mother mac.

12:59 am

sprite

he is a spoilt and selfish br4 in those things. Very frustrating for you. So make sure you have plenty of help, and don't be shy to tell him you are arranging it because he is not helping

12:59 am

sprite

lol, snap. Yes, spoilt rotten.

1:00 am

grannyrose

well i did hand him all the clean towels and mats, and told him to put them out.

1:02 am

sprite

good girl. He is lazy to boot. Maybe you need to tell him this from me: "Either you help Rose now a lot for the next few weeks, or you will have her on long term covid for months and months, and you will have to do her job for all that time.
Your choice."

1:03 am

grannyrose

bowyer

1:03 am

thanks

1:03 am

sprite

*giggles*

1:03 am

grannyrose

nooooooo

1:05 am

grannyrose

in shock here. have all the e words.!!!!!!

1:05 am

sprite

oh wow!

1:07 am

grannyrose

that's all the vowel words done. i find them even harder than k's and j's

1:08 am

sprite

nothing is harder than K words. But yeah, vowel words are tough. And finding all re- words isn't always easy either

1:09 am

grannyrose

especially when enable doesn't have them, and I KNOW they are right.

1:09 am

sprite

yes!

1:20 am

grannyrose

so... is Rob trying out the cream i sent over?

1:20 am

sprite

I wish I lived closer by. I would come help you every day and kick Don's lazy ass into action.

1:20 am

sprite

it has not yet arrived, darling

1:21 am

grannyrose

* giggles * i'd like to see that.

1:21 am

grannyrose

oh okay. it is in The Netherlands. probably held up at the sorting place.

1:22 am

sprite

they may be taxing us for it, in that case it will take longer to reach us.

1:22 am

sprite

you did send it to Boxtel, right?

1:22 am

grannyrose

it's unbelievable. he has done so many things outside, and not a lot inside.

1:23 am

grannyrose

Yes Sprite.

1:23 am

sprite

awesome. All will be well... in the end....

1:23 am

sprite

lol, well, indoor work is now more important

1:24 am

dizgrannie

FWs...last word was that pesky as 4

1:24 am

grannyrose

it may even help you. try using the spray where you have pain. it does have a gentle heat to it too.

1:25 am

grannyrose

1:25 am

sprite

1:28 am

grannyrose

1:28 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

1:28 am

sprite

oh wow! THat is interesting

1:29 am

grannyrose

1:29 am

grannyrose

love you too sweetie. hope your day is kind to you. xoxox

1:34 am

dofith

Hey Rose, get anti-viral meds - as you would know, they don't lessen your symptoms but will help prevent serious complications. I assume you qualify?
