Thats scary😧 Thank goodness you were in full gear though💛💛  

Linedrive841, ugh friend!! At least I was prepared for the patient this time🙌 The first time we thought this patient just might be a spreader without symptoms. What it was is everyone at the place this person worked at was tested in the same day. This virus, you catch it and can have no clue for well over a week. That’s this particular case. I was only in N95 mask, goggles and gloves the first time, which is better then the regular mask. When I saw this patient on the schedule with worsening Covid symptoms, it is no joke, gloves then someone helps with your PPE gown, mask, N95 mask over the regular one, goggles. Then you have to put a biohazard can outside of the bay and strip down immediately and throw all gear away minus the 🥽 because we can clean them. Then you have to put the gear on all over again if you need to do anything for patient after the provider does the same and orders labs, X-ray, so they disrobe, and suit up again to clean the room and shut it down for 6-8 hours. We went through 4 disposable PPE gear. Now for the next 2 weeks I have to worry about every cough, elevated temp... it’s stressful, but you know, this patient was scared 😞🥺. 💛💜💚 

Thanks John 🤗☺️ They were huge and delicious friend, no way I would have got through one💜💚 

You have my respect. I don't know how you and your fellow healthcare workers are able to continue to serve the public. You guys risk your and yours health every day to help others. I feel blessed to be able to stay sheltered. Go ahead and dance, you earned it. That's one good looking meal you pictured. My Wife and I often share our steaks too...  

A1 Steak Sauce is fantastic, years ago i used that all the time, there was this local Pasadena Steakhouse my mother used to take out to on regular basis back in the 1980's. They cooked everything in front of you and had tge best homemade homegrown salad bar!!! They went out of business years ago ,Retired, But seeing that bottle brought back a hapoy memory!!!🙂🙂🙂🍡 

☺️💜💚 John  

I’m glad it brought back a happy memory Pam 🤗☺️😃 It has been well over a decade since I bought A1!!! I forgot how good it is friend 😋💜💚 

hey sweet Jen, I looked up lymphedema treatment and I thought you might be interested. Here's the link. https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/blog/lymphedema-diet-and-exercise-therapy/ 

Hi my skinny ☺️♥️ I understand the lymphadenopathy friend. I’m assuming yours is secondary because thankfully you don’t have cancer🙌🙌♥️♥️ So much fluid under the skin and the body is unable to filter it out. What I’m not familiar with is, can RA cause a condition like this friend?? 💜💚 

JC, I really don't know if ra can cause a problem or just exacerbate it. I need to do a little research. I thought you probably would know all that. I don't know anything. I just have to read. 

That sounds like a very stressful situation! And what a process to go through for every person with COVID.. I do really feel for you and the patient❤️💜 And how scary it must be for you and them..I can hardly imagine. You are a very brave person jc and you do such good for so many people in need💛💛 Stay safe friend❤️  

Skinny I know a lot but rheumatology is so complex friend.♥️💜💚 I wasn’t sure if it was a contributing factor. Thank you Linedrive841 it’s definitely a scary situation friend 😩 ♥️💛💜💚
