I sometimes have trouble remember whether things really happened or if I just dreamed them. I've always had extremely vivid dreams, whose memories persisted with me long after I have woken up. When I was young (before my mid 20s), I used to go into trances in which I seemed to be partially dreaming and partially awake. These could happen when I seemed to be fully awake and could be quite disorienting. In my trances, I would feel that I had lost contact with the physical world to some extent and sometimes had the sensation of floating. I could also see different rooms from the one I was physically in. I think this happened partly because I am hypoglycemic and have passed out during some of the more extreme episodes of this. I have been able to control is (since my mid 20s) with diet, but more recently I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, and that may also have played an effect. I also go immediately into a dream-like trance under certain strobe lights, which have a hypnotic effect on me. The strobe lights have to flash at a very specific rate, but when they do, I immediately go under and enter a dream state. Afterwards, I do not remember where I am.

I just had my dogs teeth cleaned and a tumor removed at the vets this past Monday. Honestly, their protocols were more strict and their office more clean than some (most) of the clinics I have to visit for work. They will most likely have you wait in the car until they can bring your dog in, they may or may not allow you to come in as well. My Vet checks people out while they are still in the room. If I’m buying medication, they bring the meds and the visa machine out with them to my car. Everyone is masked, they have air purifiers in every room. I don’t know if it’s just my vet who’s like this or most all, but I really appreciated their attention to the details. Wear your mask, try to stay socially distant, wash your hands as you’re able and you should be safe. As for your dog, way back in the very beginning I heard about 1 dog they believed had covid, but nothing was ever confirmed and I’ve not heard anything else to suggest it is an issue.

Perhaps I worded it wrong, although I took that from the article. It is for the most seriously ill Covid patients. The treatment doesn't fight the virus itself but provides organ support while the team treats the underlying disease. Of course, the wording is from the author of the article. I'm not sure how medical personnel are referring to it. Arcy, if you read my post and/or the article you would see that not every major hospital has an ECMO machine. Or at least not one they can dedicate to use for Covid patients. Knoxville has three major hospitals. One is a teaching hospital (the one in the article) and one is a well-known heart hospital. I would think that the heart hospital has an ECMO but it could be that it is used for heart patients only. UT hospital has a heart center which is a separate building from the hospital and there could be a ECMO there, I don't know. But when my friend's SIL needed an ECMO machine, he was life-flighted to Nashville, which is about 3 hours from here. UT will now have 2 ECMO machines which can be used for Covid patients and a third one on stand-by. I can't remember how long B was on the ECMO, but I know he was off it before he was moved from ICU. He was in the hospital (first here, then Nashville), over 90 days. This was before the vaccines and with his age, he would have been down the line to be vaccinated. I think 2katz hit the nail on the head. That's the kind of thing that makes you want to take precautions to avoid getting the disease.

Geeat question!, have no idea why the rep will say that too. That was the response I got from the salesperson/owner. I had some questions about the Heritage line so he called the rep to clarify. It ends up that the paint sheen on the fiberglass doors are shiny (and not matte that we wanted). The Heritage doors doesn’t have the plugless trim that the Signet has. To upgrade will be $1k extra. The comments from the rep and the plugless trim extra charge will probably convince me to go with the Smooth Star Pulse and the Classic Craft line for our doors. HMI doesn’t have modern style doors. And not certain about the quality of the beautiful modern doors from Glasscraft.
