day 344

i have like the most mild symptoms of all time but honestly i am NOT being brave about it. im being a big baby because i hate it and think it sucks

Well, it's been a hell of a couple of weeks, and one of many things that happened is that I ended up coming home from Urgent Care looking rather like fruit being packed up for long distance shipping.

I got pretty scraped up when I fell while hiking nearly a month ago. Then I got significantly better... and then I got a whole lot worse.

If you would like to avoid some truly disgusting and painful wounds, you should know that you are likely to develop an allergy to Neosporin if you use it for multiple weeks (and probably the same goes for other brands of over-the-counter antibiotic ointments, I'm guessing).

Every time I wear socks without shoes it reminds of that time in 2020 I almost died from covid and my mom made me wear socks and vaper rub on my feet before bed to try to help with my cough

aaaand the fucking smokestack is at it again..... I would like to be able to have my freaking window open for more than, like, five minutes at a time, but apparently sooooomeone just really wants to destroy her lungs.

A lot of Covid feelings today. But the main thought I’m having today is that I hope the kids never forgive us. I hope when they grow up and realize how much their generation has been fucked over by chronic illness caused by Covid they never forgive the people who decided it was okay to infect them over and over again. I hope all the people who I talk to about it and seem to understand but then go back to taking no steps to stop the spread have to sit with the guilt in their stomachs forever. They’ll throw up their hands and say they didn’t know but I’ve been here screaming about it at the top of my lungs for years, along with a lot of other people.

I hope my son looks at the pictures of us in masks here in 2024 and knows I tried so hard to protect him. If we make it another two weeks he’ll have avoided Covid the first 3 years of his life, which shouldn’t be huge but IS huge when almost every other kid we know has had it multiple times.

It doesn’t have to be this fucking hard guys. If more people just gave a fuck about not spreading airborne illness things would be so much easier. I’m not even that strict with precautions! I’m not advocating for lockdowns! I just want more people to mask, I want masks and tests to be free, I want people who are sick to have paid sick leave, I want money to be put into upgrading the air systems in public spaces. This all feels very minimal and reasonable and yet somehow it’s a fringe position???

Today is a bad day and I’m feeling very angry. It didn’t have to be this way.

i’ve got a cold :((

[takamimami]

GUYS

I don't think yall are ready for this absolute DEBAUCHERY that came from my sick brain.

Guess who has fucking COVID after having to get a blood test a couple weeks ago at a hospital where absolutely no one was wearing masks.

I mean, my wife and I were, but we were the only ones the entire time we were there, and that’s the only time I’ve been around PEOPLE in the last month. Very cool and normal way to handle a plague, I feel like hot garbage and am just not allowing myself to think about whether this is going to exacerbate my preexisting fatigue and POTS and brainfog. I just cannot.
