Yesterday and today had the extremely sore throat symptom so its the latest variant. Blood sugar did go crazy. I have had the CGM alarm multiple times including at 2am last night.

Dr. agrees with me that I have covid. Ox was 93 so still safe but he said my lungs sounded soggy, Fever was 103.2 so his room was uncomfortably cool to me.

Prescribed the antiviral Paxlovid, and 10mg of prednisone 6 pills a day. Might as well just mainline a 5 Lb bag of sugar as my control is going to be shit until the pills run out.

Oh and the real shock was the cost for the Paxlovid. Its not free or fully covered this year so $471.31 later I have the prescription.

As long my the oximeter stays over 92 I'm fine

Not sure from where but now experiencing session 3 with covid. Started to feel bad last night and today feel like the elephant is sitting on me.

Up to date with shots, avoid other humans as much as possible but did take the cat in for her rabies shot and went to the protest on Saturday. That one is to recent to be the cause but there was someone coughing last Wednesday when we took the cat in.

Glad I am not taking Cyclosporine at this time! Still have the age problem and the T1 diabetes as well as crohns so made an appt. with the Dr for this afternoon.

Last time the crap damaged my mitral valve so want to try and avoid more problems.

I'd forgotten that, back in 2019, I adapted the shot of 'tank man' in Tiananmen Square. It feels even more relevant now.

Welp I got suspended from Nexdoor for responding to the obvious maga disinformation about No Kings.. Noticed since I still can log in as my other account they did not take down the ones I responded to saying we were being paid to be there and lots of us were going to dress as the other side and make them look like fools per some politician named luna. From a website I would normally not link to but is where most on X facebook and apparently nextdoor are getting their news.

Luna Warns 'Leftists' in MAGA Gear May Disrupt No King's Protests

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna issued a warning to the public on Friday, claiming that leftist agitators posing in "MAGA gear" are looking to intentionally s

WOW! Looked at the local nextdoor site and noticed someone was asking where the local No Kings protest was going to be held at. It appears almost all my neighbors are trumpist as almost every reply was hate filled. With one telling the lady if he had his way he would march her to the shoreline and give her a choice. Swim to Mexico or a bullet to the back of the head. Reported it of course but I know who it is.

Can't wait for the next time he walks his dog and it craps on my yard and he does not pick it up.
