  I got COVID for the first time a couple months ago. I was symptomatic 2 days before testing positive (worst fucking sore throat of my life) but on the third day I was able to start Paxlovid. I’m 51, asthma, and 10lbs over the line that qualifies me as obese.

  I don’t have the words to describe the nightmare that medicine created in my mouth, BUT I would take it again under those circumstances. It seriously stopped the progression of my sickness. I ended up with a mildly sore throat for almost 3 weeks and it took about 5-6 weeks to recover from the fatigue.

  For companies to do things like this should be a crime. The insane amounts of money they spend on advertising should also be held against them.

  Someone leaves me out of a group chat due to the color of my text bubble, I doubt there was any benefit to being included in the conversation anyway.

  The urethra is still separate from the digestive system though.

  I work in hospice and see a variety of conditions. Some people in their 60’s with significant mobility issues that are chronically exhausted, but then there’s the patients in their 90’s who just recently started cutting back on social events and activities due to injury/illness.

  Seeing these differences was why I started roller skating (again) at 49 and increased other activities to keep my ass moving and challenge my coordination and balance. I want to get everything I can out of this life.

  While I prefer the flavor of the burgers from BK, I always end up waiting for my order far longer than McDonald’s, then the combo of ingredients isn’t even warm enough to melt the cheese on the burger (no, I didn’t customize it into an abomination, just asked for no mustard.) So while I’d almost prefer it, I don’t go to BK except for once or twice a year. Even then, it seems like they’re constantly changing the fries that they’re serving, trying to hit a sweet spot?

  Instead my go to is the Daily Double and small fry from McDonald’s.
