So, though I experienced a set back, beginning on Thursday night, when pain from a pinched nerve, knotted up in my neck, hit from out of the blue and ran up from that knot in my neck to behind my right eye before heading down my right arm all the way toward the outside of my pinkie as well as straight down my right side into the little toe of my right foot. Three separate episodes of agony. One for 3 1/2 hours. Next day, two episodes, each lasting for 1 1/2 hours.
Saturday and Sunday, pain was relieved, but I was too exhausted to leave my bed or even see Steven and Ravi, separated from us, again, by Arcadia door, being that my immune system, following this last surgery, will continue to be suppressed for about two more weeks, and, at six, Stessa is, once again, enjoying groups of children too young to be vaccinated, so we’ll look forward to being together, outside, once my surgeon suggest thumbs up.
Right now, Will will coach me while I do the set of exercises left by my physical therapist, who comes on Tues. and Thurs.
Last week, my occupational therapist cancelled when his child tested positive for COVID.
David extended his stay with us for one extra day so as to feel reassured that my setback has resolved, and thus did he drive to LA on Sunday, having taken care of us for close to two years.
I’ve more to tell but am so tired as to feel a nap coming on as soon as I remind everyone to continue to take every precaution to hold COVID at bay, knowing that this killer will not be whipped until people, like Rip Van Winkle, awaken from sleeping spells in which lies concerning this deadly illness are still believed by so many millions that countless people seem blind to the fact that political ideology has naught to do with the wisdom of maintaining good health by wearing masks and being vaccinated, suggesting that not until most people see need to separate politics from the study of medicine will masks and vaccinations be the norm.
And having brought my soliloquy to an end, I’m hoping your cup runneth over with good health, regardless of which political ideology is your own—for now …
