Hello, everyone.
After the last post, I started drawing again. Good, right?
A few weeks ago, I got my fifth COVID shot - the third booster. That hit me hard, and then, in an example of terrible timing, I also came down with something non-COVID but viral that gave me a dreadful cough and sapped all my energy. For the past couple of weeks, I have been doing nothing but sleep for at most 30 minutes, then cough myself awake, and then stare blankly at whatever shiny thing caught my attention for more than five seconds before trying to sleep again. I haven't even had the mental focus to play video games. The cough is the worst, though. Just absolutely constant.
Last week, I coughed so hard I passed out and fell out of my chair. I went to Urgent Care, they did some tests, they sent me home with antibiotics and a prescription cough syrup. I thought I was doing better... until today, when I passed out again and hit my head on the way down.
hijinxfantasy found me within seconds of me falling down, took me to the ER, where they put my through yet more medical tests - EKGs, x-rays, etc. They decided I didn't quite need a CAT-scan, but they were considering it. Finally they sent me home with a result of "Nothing's too badly wrong, no COVID, no pneumonia, no concussion, but we need to do something about that cough" and some instructions for medicine and the like.
I'm afraid you are probably going to be waiting a bit longer. I will answer all those notes and messages when I can. This sucks.

Is your cough there because you've got something to spill out from your lungs, or because your throat is sore? In the last case, I may recommend you something that works for me at least for one hour and that's totally natural, it's what called Propolis, another product from bees. You probably already know the benefits of honey on sore throats, propolis works even better. And it got many other great properties, without all the downsides from chemical products. Not to replace your prescriptions, of course, but it may help you put a brake on them, and enjoy it.
You should find this under many different forms, tablets, capsules, sweets...
I do hope that things improve for you and take all the time you need.
All the best to Hijinxfantasy as well. Stay safe the pair of you.
I really hope whatever it is passes quickly and you get to feeling better!
I am very grateful to
Please be careful and take care!!
I'm hoping things get better for you. But do be careful though.
