2 unrelated medical observations: 1. Last week, a friend's 11 yr old grandson woke up w/stomach problems, stomach got distended, passed out. EMS said he'd had a heart attack. When he got to hospital they said he'd be ok. He had very high magnesium levels. He had been "eating magnesium gummies to help him sleep." I don't know how many or for how long. He had more heart attacks and died that day. Such a tragedy! I googled it, and other kids have died after eating magnesium gummies. 2. Also last week, I accompanied a 30-year old friend to the ER for chest pain. Not one person the whole time asked this person if she'd had Covid vaccine(s), let alone how many, which kind, and when--all this should be standard screening. Additionally, they should ask when her last known bout of Covid was, and collect and report all that info to the federal database so we can rule in and rule out adverse events, help prevent them, and develop treatments. (She turned out to be okay.)

My sweet old little adopted foster dog, Chiquita, went to doggy heaven. The 18 months I had him were as good as they could get for a sweet old dog who's not completely healthy. It never gets any easier. But I'm glad I had him with me for that time!
