Herewith a video of a song I wrote whilst I was down with COVID 19.
For me it was a very challenging time. One of the most difficult things was the constant fear of giving it to my mom.
It was draining...
As dementia has set in substantially...simply trying to get her to wear her mask properly without being able to come near her or adjust it for her it seemed almost impossible.
Worst is that she's deaf and you're constantly almost screaming at her to put her mask on properly or simply keeping it on.
Then there was the constant OCD required for prepping her every meal, medicine, clothes...etc.
It was gloves, masks...sanitising.
Just making her a cup of coffee required almost full body substance isolation and it was quite a strain on both of my wife and myself.
For a while our home was like a set from the movie Outbreak.
But alas..my wife and I succeeded.
Mom is healthy and we managed to dodge that bullet.
So...I even managed a subtle workout today...which has done wonders for my mental health. And that is the crux of this thing.
It was mostly mental. Especially since I was fully symptomatic and my wife almost completely asymptomatic...On one day I felt fine and the next I was shaking from a fever. It was a bizarre roller coaster. But now its over....and our pets remained healthy too.
So...a big thank you to those of you who helped, regularly checked in and offered support.
Trust me...I needed it.
