Well, no doubting it today. AchesHeadacheFatigue ChillsAnd fever A friend pointed this out yesterday and I think it’s an important observation: I was exposed on 10/26-28.

The days are starting to run together... I literally referenced an email “I sent last week” to a friend when in fact I sent it yesterday. Yesterday felt like a week ago 🤦🏻♀️. I received another text from my contact tracer: I worked from home and listened to more Christmas music. Today’s choice was For… Continue reading COVID Chronicles-Day 6

I also got my first text from my contact tracer and had to answer a symptom checklist. Speaking of symptoms, still symptom free today. Here… Continue reading COVID Chronicles-Day 5

I had two positive exposures. It was recommended that I get rapid tested just to be safe. Why are… Continue reading COVID Chronicles-Day 1
How can it feel like this year has lasted 1000 months and flown by at the same time? My last check-up with my neurologist was in February, right before COVID and quarantine hit our state. That visit was a little disheartening and dramatic as we learned about a potential pituitary tumor (thankfully after a look… Continue reading JCV Negative and MS Check-Up!
It’s been a year, am I right? For all of us. I think once this is alllllllllll over (LORD, Jesus... please let there be an end to all this!) we won’t soon forget struggles of 2020. For me, this year began with such fresh hope. 2019 kicked my butt. I remember texting my dear friend… Continue reading Let’s cut ourselves some slack.
