23rd March 2022:
We got Covid. All 6 of us..
How hard it has been this past week, struggling and juggling 4 ill children, and keeping up with their entertainment needs, when all we wanted to do ourselves, was crawl under a rock and let the world pass us by..
The saddening combination, of missing out on school, work and routine- all because of something that has been likened to the flu in recent times..
Admittedly, I am extremely glad that we didn’t catch any of the earlier strains, but still, this last week hasn’t been a cakewalk.
We have all had our fair share of fevers, chills, sweats, appetite loss, endless headaches, fatigue, irritability, snot, coughs, sneezes, diarrhea, constipation, screams, and cries..
But in all honesty, it has been the vagueness and brain fog that has really been the worst part I feel.
The waking up and feeling like you haven’t slept for weeks, the short term forgetfulness, the day long fuzziness, and the disassociation – where you are there and conscious, yet you feel so far away and out of touch with yourself.
It is a flu that I feel, it is safe to say, that we never want to see again.
My Beautiful, Gorgeous Wife (D2) –
She has been nothing short of truly amazing throughout all of this. Tending to the needs of everybody but her own, I am the luckiest man alive to have such a special Soul by my side. She is the most dependable person on the planet, and there is nothing that makes me more happy or proud, knowing that she is going to be the same rock she always is..
Thankyou hunny – from all of my heart!
