Health and Sanity Check-Ins

[sprocketta]

Things are crazy now. I think we are all trying to stay healthy and maintain sanity as well. I thought I would start this thread so folks can check in and discuss how they're doing. I want all my BIC friends to be okay. I will kick this off with a first post. Take care of yourself lovelies.

Thank you, @FullCoverageBB, every day is a little better:)

Such great news @eshoe , continued healing for them! Know it’s still tricky but at least you can breathe better now. 🤗

[eshoe]

Yes, @Sunnysmom! It feels less touch and go, which is a tremendous relief.

Biggest of Hugs going out to you @eshoe .  I know you've still got a lot going on, but it's a giant step in the right direction.  I hope you feel a bit of the weight lifted. xoxo

[eshoe]

Thank you so much @missjeanie 🤗 I feel a bit like I am treading water, but at least the shore is in sight.

@eshoe This is great news - thank you for the update ❤️ Hoping for a smooth recovery from here 🙂

[eshoe]

You’re welcome, @pocketvenus, thank you for caring☺️ I hope the worst is behind and even though it may be a slow recovery, that it will happen.

@eshoe ,

Wow!  That's great news!  I'm very glad to hear that both your parents are not in the hospital now.  I hope that the worst is over and that your Mom and Dad will get better and better every day!  ❣️❣️❣️

[eshoe]

I am so grateful too, @tsavorite! Now if they can just do what they need to do to recover. Updates are far and few between right now but that is good, at least☺️

[Loretta55]

Sorry to hear about your parents @eshoe. Hopefully they are on the mend.

[eshoe]

Thank you very much, @Loretta55. They are both back home and it sounds like they are resting. My Mom rarely sits still so this is probably a huge adjustment for her. 

[Loretta55]

I am so glad that both of your parents are at home now and feeling better @eshoe. I am sure that your mom probably realizes that she will need to slow down at least temporarily.

[eshoe]

One would think so, @Loretta55. She has an astonishing amount of sheer will, for sure. She sounded upbeat today so it’s a good place to start.

[sprocketta]

@eshoe I am so sorry to hear about this. I am wishing your parents the best and speediest recovery possible. I know this has been very scary and you are handling it far better than I could. Please know I am thinking of you and your family often and sending as much positivity and love as possible.

[eshoe]

Thank you @sprocketta, it has certainly been  very trying for everyone. It will be a relief (and I cannot wait!) when this is finally behind me, but in the meantime I am learning to see the bright spots in the muck. 

My PM limit hit me this evening, I will try again in a bit.

[sprocketta]

@eshoe I know this sounds ridiculous, but you should be proud of how you are handling this. It's crazy stressful and you're keeping it together.

[eshoe]

My mind has pretty much had to go into auto-pilot mode, @sprocketta. I have been forgetting simple/small things so much in the past few days now I have to remind myself it’s just stress. But I feel a little all over the place right now.

I'm so happy for you @eshoe ! I really hope that the antibody serum helps him out as much as it did my Dad. I hope they're both feeling great soon 💞.

[eshoe]

Thank you, @niki172. He is still very weak but I expect that to be the case for awhile. He was out laying a new deck for two days before he came down with it, so he was already physically taxed. They both need to be at home resting, which is what I hope they will do now.

I was so encouraged by your story about your Dad, thank you for sharing and helping me over the hump of a few rough days:)

[niki172]

@eshoe my Dad (who is a work alcoholic - like it's seriously ridiculous) was so tired he didn't even get on his laptop to work from home he just slept and slept (kinda like Jenny in Forest Gump). I hope both your parents do the same as everyone knows rest is best when your body is going through an illness. It sounds like they're both on their way to a speedy recovery and I'm so very happy for you and I'm glad they got the care that they needed ❤️.

I'm so glad I could be of some help to you - if there's anything I can help you with please let me know. Even with my Mom being negative it was still upsetting to me as I made her stay home while I went and got groceries etc just in case so she didn't have so much on her plate either. I think as kids we grow up thinking our parents are like super heroes and then something like this comes along and shatters that image in our minds. Don't worry - I know in my heart of hearts that your Mom and Dad will be back to normal soon 😘.

@niki172my Dad is a workaholic, too! It has only been in the last few years that he stopped waking up around 3:30/4am. I don’t know how he had the energy. I don’t think he has any choice but to rest now💗
