UPDATE ...JUNE/JULY

 


What’s going on?? Well not much these days..I am still recovering from my battle with bronchitis and COVID. The test was positive but I am NOT convinced at all that is was right. I had NO, I mean NO similar symptoms to Covid at all. I have been away from people and it has been a long road getting strength back to normal. I guess I will not know for SURE unless I have the appropriate testing done. The doctors have told me that the test for that is very expensive and not covered by insurance. So I won't have it, but I sure am changed since being sick. After affects are being more tired than I was before and my way of thinking about things is slower and I am more forgetful. I am so grateful that I did not have any other bad side effects. 

Does it seem to anyone else that the hot months are just longer that they used to be? Is it just me?? I could not wait until winter was over and warmer weather set in. I was hoping that after all the push for vaccinations got  over we could come back to some kind of normal. I wonder if that is ever possible? It surely will be a new normal. We will always be on guard as to someone near us that is contagious and maybe don’t know they are. 2020 was hard to get through.. 2021 is 6 months in and the summer is here. Here’s hoping that families can get together safely and we can go without masks and find some kind of “normal”.   The news and professionals say we can but the new Delta variance is running rampid in the country already. I , for one am still using my mask. I am used to it now anyway and feel funny NOT wearing it. I NEVER thought I would say that. Having covid the first time around.. I sure  DO NOT want anything else. The heat in the whole country is making it harder to wear one I confess. I have been limiting my time outside when it is very hot. Hope you all stay free of illness and have a great summer.

I'm sorry you were so sick. I had covid too and was quite sick and it took some time to get my strength back. I have to wear a mask at work, but I do not wear it anywhere else. I don't think they are effective in protecting us and feel that in some ways they put us more at risk as they cause us to be touching our face to adjust them so often. Also, a nurse i work with is having heart issues that the cardiologist says they are seeimg more of since people started wearing masks. But, everyne has to decide for themselves!

So glad to see you hear Sis. I am so sorry that you are not doing well and I pray you will get better and better each day. Not just words.
The mask is difficult for me as a heart patient. In the summer it is almost impossible unless the store or venue is quite cool. You are breathing your own air that just came from your lungs, and little fresh oxygen in it as it is used up.

what a terrible thing to happen to you :(
Everyone where i live has a mask on even though my state is very low percentage. I plan on always having it even after pandemic. I did however have something mysterious make my liver numbers go crazy- i have been SO TIRED, unable to think, and laying around in bed ALOT.
((hugs)) for you dear space-sister
