I read yesterday that Barack Obama tested positive for COVID. His symptoms started the exact same day that Ben’s did. Coincidence?
I think NOT!
My friend who has kids in the medical field called last night and the first words she said were, “I don’t want to freak you out, but…” Of course, hearing those words would freak anyone out. Right?
Because Ben’s symptoms included his face and eyes ‘hurting,’ she wanted me to go look at him. She mentioned the medical data regarding younger people with COVID and increased risk of blood clots and strokes.
My heart pounding, I thought about a friend that lost her brother to an ischemic stroke because of COVID. It didn’t help that I’d just read a news article about Justin Bieber’s wife Hailey’s hospitalization for a COVID related “stroke like” blood clot.
I’m no doctor, but I’m 99.9% sure Ben is currently stroke free. I know he’s feeling better and sounds better. Colette tested negative.
Once my limited medical capabilities were exhausted, I decided I would perform a scientific exercise that would make Bill Nye proud…
I hung baggies filled with vinegar on faucets and shower heads. I got a good start and only have 11 more to go. 😏
TIL (Today I Learned): A serving of Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken from The Cheesecake Factory is 2210 calories. (Nicknamed ‘heart attack on a plate,’ I’m guessing my version is equally as unhealthy.)
