I got sick Christmas Eve and today made myself go over to our local Walgreens for Covid and Flu testing .... the Flu test could be processed in the store so it came back within a couple of hours .... Negative for Influenza Type A .... Positive for Influenza Type B .... no clue what's the difference .... its been something under 10 years of since I had the Flu .... it reacted with my Sleep Apnea ... the results of which knocked my heart out of time and eventually a trip to Duke University Hospital for heart surgery .... we will be on the phone first thing in the morning with our family doctor to see what, if any, meds he may want to prescribe .... knowing what I do now, I should have broken down and gone in for testing several days ago

Hang in there. Prayers.

Yes, hang in there Jim. Definitely thinking about you.

Take care of business Jim. Pulling for you.

Stay tough Jim. Us old guys are hard to kill.

Hey Jim
I wish you the best. Got a note from Ranchroper of your condition. All I can say is prayers for you and the family that this all works out.

Hoping you have a fast recovery Jim. Wife and I had it week before Christmas and it took a week to get over it.

Praying for the best Jim.

Good for you to take the pro-active step getting checked. Yeah, maybe a bit sooner but we’re all in your boat. Hard to get away from “I’ll be fine in a few days” since that is what happens “most” of the time. Get well soon.

Get well soon friend.

ain't that the truth ..

your good wishes are most certainly appreciated .... I'm much better but still a ways from well .... by the time I get through to our doctor, I hope to not really need to see him

oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later .... I just received notice from Walgreens that in addition to Influenza Type B, I also tested positive for Covid .... as with the Flu I put in a call to our doctor and are once again waiting to see what's next

Bummer.

that pretty well sums it up

Dang, I guess I missed this when you posted it. I sure hope everything is okay Jim. Take care and be glad you were proactive.

I did that over Thanksgiving. In fact we had to cancel Thanksgiving dinner with the family.
I'm fine now, but it was like a bad head cold.
Hang tough Jim.

it was like a bad head cold > that sure sounds familiar

When it rains it pours, sorry for the double whammy. Get well soon.

the good news is, my wife just tested negative
