How is everyone holding up in the pandemic?

[LilyElizabeth - Club Leader]

Well. I like working from home. I am getting a little freaked out about how bad the pandemic is right now, though. 

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain - Member]

Taking one day at a time.

 

Blessed to be able to work from home. My son is doing online classes. We do store run once a week and avoid going out anymore than necessary. Being extra careful especially for my dad's sake.

 

(Hugs everyone.)

The same. It’s getting really bad. I’m just doing what I’ve always done, masking, hand washing, limiting trips.

 

My youngest son got the vaccine yesterday.

[LilyElizabeth - Club Leader]

I've read scary things about the vaccine. I'm going to ask my doctor's advice. I am eligible to get it in the first wave, but I'm not sure if I'm going to. 

[Ryrin - Club Leader]

I’m getting it immediately when it becomes available to me.

I find COVID, ventilators, and dying alone scary.

I agree. The whole thing is scary.

I lost a former co-worker last night. We weren’t close friends but I really liked her and she was a good help at work on court issues as she was previously a juvenile probation officer. Shauna was in her early 40’s. HR released that she had passed and a friend just said she knew that Shauna was sick and there were “complications.” Shauna was pretty private so we don’t know if it was COVID. It’s just so sad.

I'm so sorry. It's hard to lose someone you like and respect.

Ryrin, I am sorry for the loss of your friend.

 

I had an eye appointment today. I'm back on steroid drops. The scarring in my left eye has gotten worse. I go back in a month for a follow up.

 

Sure am hoping next year is better for us all.

Me too and we are almost into next year. How is your vision in your left eye?

[LilyElizabeth - Club Leader]

DJ, I'm sorry to hear that. 

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain - Member]

Had cornea transplant when I was 7 months. About a year and a half ago came very close to a rejection, but we caught it. Hoping we can slow the scaring. Just trying to keep what vision I do have, which is very limited at best, but colors, shapes, and lights are better than nothing, and would like to maintain it as best as I can.

How is that going now?

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain - Member]

Steroid drop every night. Was to have had a follow up appointment next month, but as Dr is not available when appointment was scheduled, now have to reschedule it. 

 

Trying to stay positive. Still have headaches, but not as often. So hoping that is a good sign.

[Ryrin - Club Leader]

Ugh. I’ve had steroid shots in my hands and wrists recently. Pain sucks.

[Ryrin - Club Leader]

I have a very good friend who has struggled these past several years. She had a round in her leg that wouldn’t heal (she’s not a diabetic.) So, it starts to heal and she even loses weight.

 

She just had a stroke. It looks pretty bad. She can’t talk, feed herself, or walk. She’s in rehab right now.

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain - Member]

Ryrin, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I am praying she has a quick recovery. And I hope they can actually determine what happened and help her to avoid further complications.
