Frog and Toad Tentatively Go Outside After Months In Self-Quarantine
by Jennie Egerdie

7 O’Clock

Frog stood out on the front porch.

“Toad!” said Frog. “Toad! It’s almost time!”

“I’m coming, I’m coming,” said Toad.

Toad ran out to the porch. The clock chimed 7 o’clock.

Frog and Toad clapped their hands together.

They clapped and clapped until their palms were sore.

“Are we the only ones still doing this?” said Toad.

“I don’t know,” said Frog.

“Can they hear us?” said Toad.

“I hope so,” said Frog.

Toad reached over and squeezed Frog’s hand.

“I hope so too,” said Toad.

Had a patient today. 90 years old, was independent until earlier this year when she had a bad fall. Inoperable meningioma.

She’s in some vegetable garden nursing home and all she wants to do is PT and speech therapy so she can talk on the phone. She’s not allowed visitors because of Covid and has some problems speaking from the meningioma.

it's a vasovagal response. I have a bad one when they take blood from me for labs or whatever.

last time I went all green and the nurse asked me if I felt okay and I said "sure" and she said "okay well you look like that wallpaper" and then I tried to slowly pass out. which is interesting because you're watching this happen and it all seems like you're watching a movie, you feel fine except your body is falling over.

Total anecdote: I know a woman who is definitely not an anti-vaxxer who was double pfizer'd as quick as she could be. She told me that shot #2 caused her to instantly lose consciousness and that she had pins and needles sensations in her feet and legs for several weeks afterwards. She's not citing this as a reason she won't get boosted, or anything, she just mentioned it in passing as something that she found somewhat concerning.

Does that sound like random bad luck? IV injection? No loving way to know? Unrelated paresthesia that emerged at the same time and is self limiting for some reason?

That's the weirdest out of any of the vaxx side effects anyone in my personal circles has had.

edit: also :rubby: as a direct result of this thread, after my flu shot when I was in the parking lot I was critiquing the nurse's needle placement. Definitely Not Too High, Correct Spot, A++ would vaxx again

lol a friend of mine got J&J early and is a young woman around my age (30s). Like 20 mins after her shot she got super light headed, had to lay down and couldnt stand up for a while. Said like 4 months later she still couldnt even go hiking or a brisk long walk but she also wont tell anyone about it because she doesnt want to discourage anyone from getting vaccinated.

Even a vague suggestion that the vaccination could have any sort of side effects gets people accused of being an anti vaxxer so people with legitimate issues and concerns feel scared of telling anyone about things that happened.

To be clear, she is insanely athletic and not unhealthy at all in any way what so ever. She's one of those weirdos who will run up a 3-4 mile mountain hike and be like LETS GO AGAIN.

heard of lots of people getting knocked on their rear end after the vaxx, my brother included. I got the J&J too and had literally no ill-effects that I noticed

i really thought that vaccinating 85% of olds was gonna keep mass death away and well

turns out we needed the vaccines to debut in the fall, not right as the winter wave was ending. we somehow managed to have optimum vaccination for effectiveness fading

so that's what it is. i always thought I just hated needles until i was stuck in hospital 5 times and got jabbed with blood thinners every 12 hours. they hurt like hell but i got used to it, and got comfortable with getting jabbed. then I had to have some blood drawn and passed out 3 times in a row. i explained it to the nurse who said it had to be physiological. i hate passing out though so that doesn't help when I start feeling like I could pass out and it's just a downward spiral.

eating properly and getting enough sleep seem to help a lot. anything that keeps your blood pressure normal as possible.

now I just ask if I can lie down, which helps a lot. most nurses appreciate since i'm usually much taller than them

entirely possible; I blacked out once from a Toradol IM injection, it wasn't painful or anything and I was very used to needles because I'd had regular blood draws (and shots) for ages b/c medical condition, but for whatever reason with the Toradol there was an incredible sense of pressure and the next thing I knew I was on the floor, and the kindly, large nurse who was leaning over me got parsed by my not-really-conscious brain as some kind of mythical maternal goddess figure trying to "call me back to the light"

pretty sure that's the only religious experience I've ever had in a student health clinic

Could that explain my toradol story, too? I didn't have any problems afterwards or anything, it was just surprising to go from "vertical, coherant, HAVE BACK PAIN!" to "horizontal, tripping balls, WHAT IS MY BODY AND HOW DO I FIND IT".

I am fine with needles and blood draws and IV's and all that good stuff but one time I was getting a mole removed and the doctor injected the lidocaine and turned to put the needle down and when he turned back I was on the floor. No idea why, maybe I hadn't eaten enough (and I had had moles removed in the past) but it just happened.

lol, basically nobody wore masks when I went to the packed ER for a suspected heart issue, not even around the guy on oxygen who got wheeled off to the infectious disease ward. One staff member would come in with a mask on after she'd already been in there without one and she'd take it off in the hall. Down the hall they had a room sealed off with plastic and a big isolation sign warning about droplet infection, wonder what that was about.
