I’m so sorry you’re going through this.
Yes, this is very real, though you don’t need me to say that.
My state worked hard to get down to zero cases. But we’re still on tenterhooks every time there’s a flare up in another state.
I wish I could do something that was helpful.

Vicki: I went to get my antibodies test today. While we were out, we went to Lowe’s to get bird seed. You wouldn’t believe how slow I walk, but it felt good to be out of the house. And then FIVE men in camou breeze in without masks! I couldn’t move any faster, but I yelled, “Hey! Where are your damn masks!” My husband was horrified. I didn’t give a rip. I asked a clerk why no one stopped them. “We’re not allowed to.” Then why do we have a state-mandated mask ruling if the stores ignore it? When we got out to the car, I saw two more men come out: one with a mask, the younger without. I was so ANGRY. Their attitude says, I don’t care about you. You got sick? Tough.

It’s awful to feel like there’s no one who can make things better and it is taking soooo loooong. Everything about this disease is unfair but you long-haulers are battling so much all at once. Keep us informed, even if the progress is small. We DO care.

Frieda: Thanks for reading. And thanks for your support. I write to let others know how strange this disease is, that it doesn’t necessarily follow the CDC guidelines, and that doctors need to listen to their patients. Mine does, but he’s one in a million.
