I love the real Bert and Ernie. Your dynamic duo sound less amusing! I’m really sorry to know you’re still in the hospital. Are you being given some kind of treatment there? Life on a Covid Ward sounds like Sesame Street that’s gone over to the dark side! I hope you’ll be able to go home soon. Sending you lots of good wishes again.

My d-dimers have gone up HH so its a strong anticoagulant for me im afraid ,apparently this is what covid does so I'm going nowhere for the foreseeable future. They are tyring lots of different vitamins amongst us ,(im on folic acid) and even i after just 48hrs can see they are still trying to combat covid by new means ,its reassuring in a way that the best minds are trying to solve this problem out .

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to soulboy118]

I didn’t know thstsv an effect of Covid. I, glad you’re being well looked after. It is good to know new thinking about treatment is being developed all the time

Hope you're coming along well. Could be a long haul but hopefully not. Words of encouragement, my cousin who has had both vaccinations copped for Covid a few weeks ago and was hospitalised but after a 2 week stay in hospital, is now home and recovering day by day. Good luck.

[soulboy118 in reply to Biofreak]

That time frame you mentioned and thd outcome will do for me bf, out of the 7 people in this bay 4 of us are getting this treatment of anticoagulants plus lots of vitamins through iv or oral ,have a good day

The picture brought back happy memories of watching it with my sons.

[soulboy118 in reply to teenieleek]

I watched it with my grandchildren, my favourites were the grouch and the count ,ah 1,2, 345 in an old vampire voice, very funny and jokes for the grown ups included 😄

[teenieleek]

Yes, it was clever. You probably already know this but it was originally made for immigrant children in the US to help them with basic numeracy and literacy but it became popular with all children (and their parents). Hope you get a nice Sunday dinner!

[soulboy118 in reply to teenieleek]

I kinda guessed because it was very diverse in which children it had in the show interacting with the ( I hope no kids read this ) puppets and which stars they brought in, I just enjoyed for its simplicity and good humoured education
