To Radiology for two chest X-rays….
To the Laboratory to have one of those nauseating nasal swabs swished in my nasal cavity….
To a new feature of the clinics – a walk-in clinic – for a general examination and interview about when these symptoms- weakness, coughing spells, breathing issues – began and a possible connection to my recent time with COVID-25.
=(^+^)=
The X-rays were similar to another set taken recently and showed no change or anything alarming apparently.
The Laboratory stop will reveal its findindings in a day or two.
The walk-in clinic findings will help in the detection of what’s going on with me.
On top of it all, one of the staff’s sons and she were in Scottsbluff today, so they picked up eight oxygen cannisters and delivered them to me since I wasn’t well enough last Friday to do it myself. My supply might not have lasted to the next delivery on Friday….

Gad! The dialysis nurses, supervisor, and our PA truly came through in ways for me that are staggering! I couldn’t have done all of that walking or setting up procedures on my own. A huge thanks to them all!!
Glad your x-rays were OK. Also glad you had a lot of helpers for your oxygen and appointments.
I wouldn’t have made it without help. The dialysis and hospital staff are incredible here!

Good medical, and veterinary, people are among life’s blessings!
Amen to that, Lavinia! I couldn’t get through some of the challenges without them. Living in a smalk town – less than 9000 people – sometimes is tedious because all services and needs aren’t here, but the people make up for it. As I told Bret, my very helpful next door neighbor. “It’s good to know there still are good people in the world.”
Doug
Agreed!
Medical professionals are amazing people. Hope they can get you feeling better soon
I can’t praise higher the hospital staffs here and in any hospital I’ve been in. With exactly one individual who wouldn’t sign me in because “I still have 20 seconds left on my lunch hour,” (!!!) I’ve only had positive attention and care from doctors down to maintenance people, the most important staff because their work helps minimize infections caught in the hospitals.
Doug
Helpers are everywhere
Yes! I truly appreciate that good people still exist in my country.
Doug
Dear Doug and Andy.. Doug so good you are getting such kind care… makes a world of difference in how we feel… to have this generous support. Heaven knows we all need it! And thank you dear Andy for being the best boy to your daddy… your online friends here send much love to you both…

Doug
Let’s hope it’s something that easily treated. You are very lucky to have a great support team.
It turns out zi still hablve COVID-25.
Doug
Hoping that each day you feel better, Doug… our health issues really do force us to find that inner strength to get thru all… and you and Andy are great examples to us….wishing you and Andy a good rest… cozy and warm in this bitter cold…
At least you know what it is. I hope they have meds that can help.
I hope everything is alright…..stay warm chuq
“Warm” is my daily goal!
Doug
I hope you get an accurate diagnosis!!!
I had a full abdomen ultrasound today – at least 30 images taken. I know it was to check my fatty liver, and maybe bile duct (I think the stone already passed), but will be VERY interested in whether anything else looks bad.
Let’s open they don’t find anything else!
Doug
Such hard work with the staff adding theirs
They are incredible people. Derrick.
Doug
we hope for good results and send big hugs to you two boys
Amen!
Doug
Cute sleepy Andy pics! Good that you had some help; keeping up with all that testing is such a chore! Several friends report long COVID symptoms, a real nuisance. I think I posted that link to the U. of Virginia paper about green tea and covid, but I think you should ask the docs about anything you add to your diet … And, it has a small amount of caffeine, but does come in decaf.
There is some inflammation that they are treating with an anti->inflammatory drug. If green tea,does the same, thing, it would be preferable
