Reason for this is: A few weeks ago, a very nice male resident in our smaller condo complex who owns a friendly dog was alone & was talking to another dog owner here with her dog who bit him when he went to pat the dog. He needed stitches to his hand. This dog is a Husky type.
The man told me later when I saw the bandage on his hand what had happened. He said the female owner said the dog hadn't been well at the time & so he was willing to let 'it' go. He said she apparently was going to muzzle her dog in future and take it to 'classes.' This evening I
saw her and the dog which was muzzled. I let her know I heard what had happened. I love dogs and it was leashed and so I called to it. It came over and as I went to pat it, the dog had he/she? went to bite me. I wasn't due to the muzzle. Did startle me though. She again said her
dog isn't feeling well and has now a 'hurt' shoulder. I can appreciate this but maybe this dog now has the incline to attack others and she shouldn't allow it to approach anyone at all if it is going to react like this. I assume she doesn't have the dog muzzled in her own condo.
I cautioned her to also be very careful with this dog as some are known to attack their owners if sort of getting away with biting someone and being so aggressive muzzled or not. I'm thinking maybe this is the wrong breed for her as she seems not to be a strong owner as she did
not chastise her dog for attacking me as it did. We have children in this building, some very young and walking and I'd hate for them to have this kind of behaviour really scare them. I don't feel I have any right to do anything but it is concerning. /Fin.

@BamaSaltyMarine I worked as a Critical Care RN with many shifts in a Coronary Care Acute unit, in ER & an Open Heart Post Op ICU. 1) Denial is a symptom of a heart attack. People try to blame it on indigestion, gall bladder, fatigue. It's usually not if left/central crushing chest pain.
1/2
@BamaSaltyMarine 2) Pain is only a symptom when there is over 90% blockage of a coronary artery. 3) Cholesterol build-up in arteries forms and becomes solid preventing the artery from expanding when needed with exertion and more oxygen is needed for the heart muscle and the body. Arteries 2/3
@BamaSaltyMarine can expand up to 10% of the original diameter. Smoking actually causes contraction of the arteries. 4) The blood of cholesterol built up arteries is through pin holes, not the middle part and thus if those pin holes close totally, this is why even with a cardiac arrest from 3/4
@1MikeMorris They also make Frozen Yogurt in different flavours. Would you believe this: I'm caffeine sensitive++, aware of this from high heart rate reaction happening after drinking a lot coffee one day decades ago. They have a Chocolate Espresso Frozen Yogurt. Love it but usually only 1/2
@1MikeMorris have a few tablespoons each time as mix with Vanilla yogurt. One night over a month ago had a big bowl of it. Within 5 minutes my normal heart rate of about 68/min. jumped up to 120 beats per minute. As an RN (now retired) who worked in Critical Care, I know a lot about 2/3
@1MikeMorris heart function. Had no idea what had caused this as was sitting at my table using a laptop. Did carotid massage on my neck to reduce it to only 100 and was totally otherwise asymptomatic. After an hour it was 88 and in 2 hours was back to normal. I looked at the ingredients 3/4
Novavax update: Today I received a specific email from Sanofi about the Novavax vaccine for 2025 fall: named Nuvaxovid which targets a JN.1 strain. Quote: "Please note that we do not plan to bring Nuvaxovid® to the Canadian market for the upcoming 2025 fall season at this time."
The email stated the transition of the Novavax to Sanofi company in Canada is still ongoing. Perhaps once the transition is complete in the next weeks this June/July, there will be reconsidering of providing Nuvaxovid to Canadians. I have once again called the company to inquire
if this may be happening. I still believe with enough public pressure on our governments provincially the need for this vaccine must be acknowledged and thus orders for this vaccine may be made. IF it is being made available to other countries, why not Canada? I've requested a
My update on Novavax inquiry with the Sanofi Pharmaceutical company contact # in Canada. This afternoon I made 3 1-800 calls. With the first at a general customer service #, she was not able to answer my questions; was transferred to a second person at a medical professional
inquiry # but after about 10 minutes, the call got disconnected. It happens sometimes. I then called back at the same # for the medical menu choice and had a good conversation with a male representative. He typed my four questions to be forwarded to the correct individual to
reply either by email or phone. My questions were: 1) Is the company working on a new formula of Novavax now for the 2025-2026 Covid booster season considering the new variant? 2) With the last production of Novavax how long is it before the expiration of that specific formula
Novavax update of information: I just called long distance to the Novavax customer service (no 1-800 #) for information about supply possibly to Canadian and specificially B.C. Found out a few facts: The current Novavax vaccine is although not outdated is not the newer one
currently being developed for the fall of 2025. Whatever supply is 'out there' is the formula which was used previously. We have a new variant and I assume the new formula will be adjusted for protection from it. Also, the Novavax company & vaccine now has been absorbed by a new
company: Sanofi. Link: They are now working on the new vaccine and the head of this pharmaceutical company is in France. There is however a branch in Toronto. Can be contacted at the website or 1-800-268-7263 or (416) 667-2700. I'll be calling them today.sanofi.com/en/canada
@ItsColbyTime @ClayTravis As a Critical Care RN in both Paediatrics and Adult care over 34 years, I can say you are uneducated about aggressive cancers. Your assumption that annual checks will be sufficient for cancer diagnosis are unfounded. IF after testing, a mainly asymptomatic cancer begins, it 1/2
@ItsColbyTime @ClayTravis can then be undetected for those 12 months passing by. There are various types of cancers which are more aggessive than others of the same location. Some brain tumours with few symptoms can be lethal very quickly and others have dramatic symptoms like a seizure with detection 2/3
@ItsColbyTime @ClayTravis due to testing. I cared for one neurosurgical patient post op who had a tumour the size of a lemon when removed but only in two weeks prior had been complaining of a headache. The type of cells in that cancer meant it was not aggressive and the patient had a low chance of 3/4
