Fatigued Podcast

Med Warning: The Laughter in this Episode is Doctor Approved!

Jen (a doctor)  put our minds at ease (if only for an hour). She is an OB in Indiana and we discuss the joy (and potential peril) of delivering babies in a time like this, whether or not masks work, and what it's like to have COVID - she has firsthand experience too! Bonus features include: an update on Caroline & Raymond, what is a nebulizer, and what are the cool three-year-olds watching these days? 

Stay positive, test negative, and enjoy this week's episode. 

This virus is so tricky - it can manifest itself in vastly different ways. Even to a set of identical twin brothers and their mother! Speaking to Ryan and Linda was an absolute delight this week - even though their cases were anything but delightful. They gave us some insight on what kept them going during their darkest days, what it's like losing your taste and smell for 2+ months (!), and what the early days of the pandemic were like before the world shut down. 

As mentioned in this episode, the Jacobs Family hosts a cabaret every March to raise money for the MD Anderson Cancer Research Center in memory of their father who lost his battle with it in 2015. Ryan states in the episode, "you cannot do well as an individual if your community isn't doing well." We're hard pressed to find someone whose life hasn't been affected by cancer, so if you find it in your heart to make a donation this holiday season we've got the link below for you. It's a worthy cause. Thanks for listening and supporting!

Raymond is on day 23 of Covid-19 and Caroline recounts the story of her tangle with the virus. As far as symptoms go, she experienced fatigue (ha), fever, pneumonia-like cough, sweats, aches, pains, chills, head ringing, hair loss, fainting, nausea, diarrhea, eyelid problems, depression, and anxiety. All by herself and all within 21 days! She's glad she lived to tell the tale and share it with you before you all make the decision to drive home for Thanksgiving. (recorded 11/17/2020)

Raymond is infected with coronavirus! He and Caroline talk symptoms, testing, and tacos. What’s it like when your spouse is quarantined on the other end of the house? Is camping as safe as we think? Will Chugging Hot Sauce Make You Feel Alive Again? Listen and find out! (recorded 11/13/2020)
