Second time having it, feels worse than death. Sorry i cant engage with all you wonderful people. Its been a struggle to even hydrate or eat properly.

Hopefully itll go quickly, with all the vaccines and boosters ive had, also this being my second go around, my body may fight it off more quickly? Idk, i hope so, i was sick for a month last time.

Wish me luck, ill be back eventually. Want to do a special trip or something when i am back, get some nice pics to post or something

I miss you all ❤️❤️

Edit: i see everyones messages, thanks so much! Its tough to focus on a screen for any length of time, so this is a blanket thank you to everyone ❤️❤️

    Oh nooo… I wish you everything you need at the moment and some more!!! <3

    Here’s a “funny” story to hopefully give you a smile. It is OKAY to laugh! xD

    I don’t hate needles. I just have a ridiculously low threshold for pain is all. And imagining a foreign substance coursing through my body. And being drained of blood. Makes me lose all my strength. Anyway, did my first rona shot without even the slightest problem. I got this, I said to myself. Then came the second round. I got the shot, moved on to the waiting area where you wait for 15 minutes together with 100 other people under supervision. I’m telling myself, in my head, “this is just like last time, this is nothing, my power level is over 9000, whatev…” aaand I fainted. I wake up in the arms of a BEAUTIFUL nurse, this part I’m not complaining about. But realizing what had happened, I blush and I am SO ashamed. Like, 100 people were watching. xD Fuuuuuuuuuuuccc.

    Get better soon!

    Take care and make sure to get your electrolytes! Powerade is friend! Even just some light sips, I know it can be troublesome to try to ingest things when the bug makes it all seem bleh.

    From the sounds of it though, having done everything right, you should be on the up-and-up before you know it. Keep being lovely and know that we all love you!

    Hearing about Covid reminds me of the time I had to stand out in the cold with a slow-moving line of folks, my thoughts being “oh this is totally not a super spreader incident about to happen.” I go and get tested: Positive. I waited in the room for longer than expected while waiting to hear that result, they come in with a hazmat suit and escort me out the back. That was quite an experience.

      That sounds like a strange experience! Im feeling loads better today, precisely because i kept up on fluids, which ive not always been the best about lol

        It was certainly a case of people not knowing what to do about everything. Me and some of the folks commented on it too, being like “oh this is real safe.”

        Never before seen someone in a hazmat suit face to face, and that was the last time I had.

        And very good! Yay fluids!

    Hope you have a speedy recovery.

    Honestly and it might be something I created but I have more trouble with memory since I caught covid in 2022.
