Itstrainingtime

This morning is the best I've felt in 2 weeks. My physician sent my records out to infectious disease and they didn't offer much insight. This is likely going to end without a diagnosis. Both family members are better. One was better in 48 hours, the other was in and out of care for several days. Thank you for asking.

Dry as a bone down this way.

Going to be an interesting afternoon and evening.

85.3 here currently. Summer day.

I thought the same thing this morning...maybe because there wasn't much of a breeze but regardless, it felt every bit like a July morning.

Have a great day! Eating local?

SPC has a lot of central PA in a MRGL risk for tomorrow - meanwhile. MU has been touting a big time severe potential for several days now. He's expecting violent storms later tomorrow. (at least down this way)

Not really a forecast per se but I haven't forgotten this post. Three wasn't a whole lot of model consensus at the time but everything has come around to it over the past several days.

I wish I would have posted yesterday's map for comparison...suffice to say, this escalated quickly:

Leaving work in a few hours for MORE bloodwork and another chest xray. I do feel better today than I have at any point since this started, but no where near 100%. Here's the bizarre thing - yesterday, 9 days after I came down with whatever I'm dealing with, 2 extended family members, both in their 20s, both in great physical shape, came down with what seems like the exact same thing as me. Both went to the ER yesterday (one lives in Lebanon, the other in Elizabethtown) and after scans, tests, xrays and bloodwork...both were sent home with no clinical diagnosis. How strange is that?

Wife and I are going (pending my health) to the Phillies - Diamondbacks game on Sunday. What looked like a stellar day is also going down the tube. Sigh.

That line was far, far more intense to the north of Harrisburg than down this way...I had .02" of rain and a top wind gust of 11 mph. (during the actual "storm")

Wet weather incoming - though not the crazy amounts that the Euro was spitting out. Also, those pretty blues out west in the Sierra? Yeah baby, a May snowstorm incoming to Mammoth this weekend:

His dry and warm forecast might be in trouble as well.

Thrilled the severe threat collapsed. Not so thrilled that along with it went our rain.

Great observations!

Line finally losing some umph entering Harrisburg.

Going to be a warm, humid day today. Looks like SPC shifted most of their colors a little SE - yesterday I was on the line of general storms/nothing, this morning the MRGL is tickling me. Good luck to those NW of here. Might be a bumpy ride.

I have an Echo scheduled for next week. Every test for every possible answer has come back negative so far. Some of my symptoms are mildly better but I still have chest issues. I was awakened at 3:30 this morning with my heart racing. I was able to calm myself down and fall back asleep about 90 minutes later. I very much appreciate your advice. I've been in and out of the doctor's several times. I'm calling again after lunch. Your story is incredibly scary. I had no idea the extent of your illness. Obviously very happy that you made it through all of that.

Exactly the opposite of MU's thoughts.

Happy birthday! Have a great day.

Interesting, thank you for asking. I mentioned last weekend about Pneumonia. I started treatments for Pneumonia. But I was never definitely diagnosed with Pneumonia. After CAT scans, EKGs, echocardiagram and many rounds of blood work that ruled out a lot of possibilities, they went with Pneumonia and assumed that it hadn't developed enough to present itself at the time. 6 days later and I'm no better than at the beginning of the week. More blood work yesterday led to the thought that it's something else. My medication was switched out today and now the talk is potentially Lyme disease. But again...a full week after going to the ER, still no definitive answer. Really hoping the new medication works. Not sure what my next steps are if I'm not better on Monday. Not knowing exactly what's going on is unsettling.

You gave your kids doobies for their birthday?

Skies brightening after receiving .31" of rainfall.

That is very scary. I can't even begin to imagine. Hope everyone involved is safe.
