Despite what I claimed in my post of three days ago, I never did get away in the earliest a.m. that weekend to pit myself against the challenge of walking a few blocks ─ I have not walked anywhere since falling ill early in October, and then spending just over 11 days in the Surrey Memorial Hospital (October 18 - 28) diagnosed with COVID pneumonia.
I was deflected from the outing by the presence of my late-night eldest stepson who sat up until 3:30 a.m. ─ I had forgotten that he was on an afternoon shift. When he is so scheduled, he will sometimes remain up until the approach of 5 a.m.
I had hoped to be able to make it to a credit union ATM four blocks from here in order to deposit the monthly expenses reconciliation cheque that my younger brother had written out to me at the beginning of the month. However, if my eldest stepson was privy to my intention, then I do believe that he would have insisted upon driving me, solicitous of my relatively frail state.
I felt myself with no choice but to abandon the outing.
I have since realized that the monthly mortgage I wanted to apply the cheque towards is not set to be debited from my chequing account until the 22nd ─ for some odd reason I had been viewing the 18th as mortgage day. Consequently, I still have another weekend before the payment is due.
Nevertheless, I did not remember this until after asking my wife last night if she could deposit the cheque today when she goes to work, and now the deposit is no longer my concern.
Something that I neglected to mention in that previous post when I was citing some movies I had watched here at home with my younger brother via our Android TV Box was the 1996 film Trainspotting. I had placed the title of the movie on a list because I was almost smitten over actress Kelly Macdonald in this year's Line of Duty series (season six) in which she played a detective chief inspector (DCI) who was under suspicion by our heroes of the fictional Anti-Corruption Unit 12 (AC-12).
In Trainspotting ─ her first acting role ─ she played Diane, a teen schoolgirl who seduced the central character and compelled him to continue a relationship under threat when he learned how young she really was.
The actress was probably 19 during the filming, and had essentially just turned 20 when the film got released.
She had a nude scene in the movie ─ she was definitely a healthy young thing!
The movie was interesting enough in that it kept my drinking brother watching, but I certainly would not rate it as highly as it was acclaimed, according to Wikipedia. Even so, I now see in Wikipedia that there was a sequel in 2017, so I will have to tune it in at some point.
Last evening my drinking brother and I watched Songbird, a 2020 movie based upon a hugely magnified COVID pandemic. It became something of a romance, which I do not mind. However, my inebriated brother only bitched at the movie's conclusion.
I recognized that the movie was not exactly of epic proportions, but I quite enjoyed it. It took me about a half hour into the movie before I recognized the actor playing the main character, a bicycle courier immune to the virus. He was KJ Apa, the same young man who played Archie Andrews in the T.V. series Riverdale which my brother and I are still working our way through.
Actor Peter Stormare ─ whom my brother and I enjoyed in the T.V. series Swedish Dicks and (to a much lesser extent) LA to Vegas ─ played such a detestable villain so effectively that I was delighted at his eventual demise.
I want also to mention two very interesting interviews that Odessa Orlewicz hosted with medical experts on the topic of SARS-CoV-2 and our scamdemic / plandemic / casedemic.
The first interview was titled Nov 15- I Interview Dr Paul Alexander Who Was Part Of The Covid Advisory Team Under The Trump Administration, and was a little over 1½ hours long. She hosted the interview around 8 a.m. yesterday.
The second interview was last evening, and was not too very much over an hour in duration: Nov 16- I Interview Dr Nagase About The Horrific Corruption And Cover Ups Of Treatments.
Yes, the title indicates today's date for whatever reason.
Okay, the final item I wish to mention in this post relates to the ivermectin that I have just finished taking for six days as of the nine-drop dose that I took this morning.
My elder half-sister had surprised me last Wednesday by paying me a visit just to present the ivermectin to me ─ she had managed to find a source earlier that afternoon. The proprietor she had spoken with at the health food store she had been to had given her written instructions that I was to take six drops twice a day for three days, and then phone him.
I took my first dose that evening; my final dose was this past Saturday morning, so I phoned him that afternoon. He instructed that I was to start a three-day schedule of nine doses twice daily for another three days, and then phone him again.
And that is what I finished doing this morning.
However, when I tried to phone him this afternoon ... well, I will just quote the E-mail that I sent to my sister in explanation of my call to him:
Following up on this, Phyllis, I phoned for B. today around 3:20 p.m., and got a younger guy on the line. He said B. had gone for the day.
What caught me off guard was that B. had said that calling him would reach him night or day ─ I think he said something about the call getting automatically forwarded to him at home if he was not at the store. So clearly that was not in play.
So I just told the younger guy that I was returning a call concerning a certain protocol B. had me on.
At that, the young guy just quoted the ivermectin label without me identifying ivermectin, saying that I just had to take three drops twice a day for a full week. Since I figured the young guy must be somewhat familiar with what B. is up to, I then described how I had already taken six drops twice a day for three days, and now just finished another three days at nine drops twice a day.
At this, the young guy exclaimed that I did not need to be taking that much ─ just how heavy was I, anyway, he asked? I guess he thought that it was possible I was obese or something.
Anyway, he definitely counselled that I oughtn't to be taking more than the three drops twice a day, and for no more than a week. And here I am at almost a week, having taken twice that daily amount for the first three days, and then triple that amount for the next three days.
At the conclusion of our conversation which I wanted to bring to a close, he said to give B. a call tomorrow ─ he should be available back in the store anytime after 10 a.m.
I really don't know if I will or not. I likely will, but I'm not feeling too enthusiastic about it. I'm definitely not feeling all that keen on being an experiment for B. if that's what is going on with me.
Note that the ivermectin does indeed state that three drops are to be taken twice a day for a maximum of seven days!
Here are a couple photos of the product ─ the first shows the box that it came in, and is set alongside a litre carton of whipping cream for size comparison:
Note that the "Rx" prescription symbol is on all four sides of the small box, and no other print is anywhere on it.
This is a photo of the actual bottle,:
The label does not make total sense to me ─ here is all that it has on it:
IVERMECTIN
Aqueous Oral Solution 15 ml Drops
Dosage: 3 drops 1.5 ML WT 2 times/day
As Recommended by your Healthcare Practitioner
Adjusted by weight
Exp: 10/2027
I don't see how the three-drop 1.5 ML WT (whatever "WT" indicates) possibly relates to the "15 ml Drops".
Also, note that nowhere does the label indicate the actual contents of the liquid if it is some sort of formula, nor does it indicate where it was produced, nor what the name of the entity is who produced the product.
There is no package insert ─ you now know as much as I do about what I have.
By the way, the top of the bottle does not quite come to the baseline border that is just below the "Rx" on the box, so it is definitely quite a small bottle.
Maybe I'll call the guy tomorrow afternoon, and take a final does of three drops this evening and then again tomorrow morning to achieve the full seven days indicated on the label, even though I will have taken far more drops than the label directed for those first six days.
Anyway, that's where I stand as of now.
