I'm kinda sad today. One of my favorite things in the world to do is sing. I can't sing here at home unless the neighbor is gone. But that's not why I'm sad. I am sad because I just tried to sing 2 songs I used to sing a lot and I just no longer have the lung capacity to manage it.
When they get me into my new position at work and I'm not just totally running on empty, maybe then I can go back into the gym at work and start on the treadmills again. I hate not having enough air to do the things I enjoy.
That sucks, and I believe I know the feeling well! It's frustrating that our vocal range seems to shrink if we don't practice enough. I hope you'll be able to go back to training soon!

Seems like it's been going on for a few days, I hope it's nothing serious! Are you able to take some time to rest?
It's not my vocal range it's my capacity to force out enough air to sing. I have COPD and it got worse last year after a respiratory infection.
I misunderstood what you meant then lol I'm sorry. Must be tough for you. At least there's a chance to improve by training though!

Hello Marci. I had both vaccination jabs finished last month. Those side effects are gone now. I don't have COVID-19: I would know if I did. But thank you for your concern. I also certainly don't wander into shops: I would NOT want to expose anyone to illness. Whether COVID-19 or something else.
I am hoping to have a booster shot in September. I'd say 3 jabs would make me virtually immune to COVID-19. I certainly don't want to suffer what my friend, Vicky, suffered.

Yes x100 I hope so!
No news for the third jab for me, but I think it's already started at the capital. I think it's only for healthcare professionals for now, though. At least most of those who are not opposed to the vaccine already got their first shot. Still there are tons more with no vaccines. We simply have too many heads to handle.
Popcorn&Candy Glad you're feeling better. Random but did you recently stop your coffee or tea? Just wondering if it's withdrawal symptoms you experienced.
This is my second day after being notified I no longer have COVID-19, I'm feeling a little tired but overall great that I'm no longer at risk of infecting other people.

Hi Sugary,
The after effects of covid do tend to drag along a little, so don't expect to be running a marathon this weekend.
My partner had it, and was a little breathless for a while.
I'm still a bit tired from my trip and I have tons to do today. Groceries, laundry, work at getting the lamai back to normal, tend my fruit trees. Ouch, that sounds like too much...
Uta, you are a great balance here. Being an ER MD is not easy but you always have such a bright attitude! I wish my nephew would be like you
Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm trying to be bright while working as well because what a challenge it is to stay kind in this situation. I fail quite often lol. But this kind of comment is a great motivation!

Welcome! Nice to meet you, sugary. Very glad to hear that you're recovering, give your body some time and do all you can to support it! What are you up to these days?

One step at a time, as people said. or just procrastinateee
I don't know about Indonesia but in the US, some of the required courses are about psychology but unfortunately, many doctors here did not seem to learn anything from it. From what I see you here, your patients are lucky to be in your care.
They probably think it's bad luck to meet me because I rarely say yes to whatever the patients say. What people want, what they actually need, what we can do, what related institutions are capable of - I feel like med schools can never fully prepare you for such complicated things. There are issues at every turn that it's hard to stay bright for work. So thank you again! This week is full of reminders related to work hehe.

You've got an incredibly important job, uta93.
The fact you're not conforming to ideals about saying A/B/C rather than how it is, is very important. You can't do your job if you're glossing over the truth. Your patients need your honesty in order to be treated.

Your technique is a sign of great competence.
Thank you very much for the kind words! I really don't deserve it but thank you anyway.

I am feeling really ill this morning: I have a headache and it feels like a temperature. I feel slightly dizzy, too. In short, I feel awful.
I do hope I feel better in a few hours time.
Oh no! I hope you will feel better soon. Don't hesitate to take some medicines or go for a checkup if it keeps going on, you've been having headaches since last week.
I went back to work, still feeling tired and coughing, and some people here are unreasonable, they called me about a report I haven't been able to do because I'm working extra due to more employees that are home sick due to covid, I said I don't have it yet due the all this extra work, then they send me an e-mail (corporate demigods on copy) asking me the very same thing, I replied with the same answer, and yet they called me again to ask me the very same thing only to get the same reasonable answer.

This is infuriating.
Sounds like where I work.... "Why didn't you complete hundreds pages of records?" My response, "because there was not enough pages in the records I completed." lol not sure what else they want from me.

One time I told them: "There are literally not enough hours in a day to finish everything you are asking me to do"
