Infirmary Thread #21: Say "Aaargh!!"

Even wilder and wackier than pre-crash Miscellaneous, the survivors talk about the weather, puppies, work, and coffee.

Got a wind migraine today, and it's not really easing up with the decrease in wind tonight. :no:
I really hope you feel better!

I'm having a calcium score scan to see how much hardening of the arteries I have around my heart. It is a routine test, but I am sure with my family history, it is a test I am going to fail. :lol:

Looks like I've got a touch of a cold or flu or COVID or something. No worries, because I've had every vaccine there is, but it's very aggravating. Last night I had a sinus headache for at least eight hours, and it was harsh. Today there's no real pain, but my stinging and watering eyes make it hard to look at a screen for more than a minute or so.

Well, I hope not. Cheat if you have to. :quill:

Gosh, I hope you pass the test. We want you to last as long as possible!

I'm afraid this is all my fault. The General injected me with truth serum and I told him about you. This aroused his suspicion and I'm betting he used his usual Special Ops formula of chlorine, ammonia, acetic acid, and formaldehyde. This concoction rendered me blind once when I giggled after he hit a bad golf shot :no:

My family on both sides are the poster children for heart disease. I know a cardiologist is going to be in my future. By future, I mean my next doctor's appointment, after I receive my test results. It's good. I'll be able to get a jump on it, and hopefully have more quality of live in my later years.

I hope you feel better soon, RJ. Drink a ton of water. Elderberry extract helps, too.

Hope it's just a cold. Do you have one of those COVID tests they sent out?

That does it. I may have to start getting tough.

Yeah, but you've taken good care of yourself. My Grandfather and all my Uncles had heart disease, but I've been fine so far.

How old do the berries have to be? :D

Now that you mention it, I do have a couple of tests around here. They're probably expired, though. And it's probably too late to get tested, anyway, since this thing is on its last legs.

I'll take a Covid test today after I buy a test kit at the store. Hopefully all I have is this pesky cold.

Yes, good luck. You're all vaxxed up, though, so nothing to worry about.
