So sorry, Elizabeth. In a way it didn't surprise me. Not Covid but something. I, too, power through crisis and it is only after that there is a breakdown. The body says enough and finds a way to check out. Be kind and gentle with yourself. You are fortunate to have the support of people who love you and Sophie so deeply. Sending more love.
I, too, would be shocked if got the virus at this point and then, to get it so profoundly, Elizabeth! What a nightmare. Just horrible despite the help you got in the form of the angels in your life.
I remember in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" when Jeff would say, "That's just a big bowl of wrong." Sad soup, a big bowl of wrong. Ugh.
Funny how we can push and push and push ourselves and then something happens and we simply cannot. Rest as much as you can. I love you dearly.
Dearest Elizabeth-I'm sending you virtual chicken soup which I make rather excellently in spite of being vegetarian. I'm so sorry. The spins, we call it around here and the fatigue. Fuck that shit, I say. Carl, bless him. A thousand times bless him.
I just got another booster. Whatever. Tonight is a super moon and Clark and I (my version of Carl) are going to swim at 10PM in the moonlight. We're gonna take a moon bath in our favorite lake and I will send all the blessings and love from my part of the world to yours. Hippy-dippy, don't care.
So sorry to hear about your prolonged Covid illness and hope you are feeling better. I completely agree with the utter ridiculousness of "Put on your oxygen mask first" especially after Aron once told me that the reason the airlines tell us that is that without oxygen, people become giddy and loopy before they pass out.
I've been wondering why you haven't posted in so long, and I have good intentions of sending you a card, just to add another voice that says, I'm here. I'm listening. I care. You are blessed with people who love you, some of us from afar and so many right there at ground zero. Here come some germ-free (I think) hugs.
Well, shit, and shit again. I still live in fear of the virus. Going this week to get a shot for the latest variant. Sorry it was so bad for you -- a hell scape of bodily breakdown. And to have to rise to the occasion when Sophie required more help. The whole inner thing, and then the outer things that are America now, it's enough to take to one's bed and just not get up again. Hope you get to 100 percent asap.
Fucking Hell. I'm thankful you have Carl, Oliver and Maria to help care for you and Sophie. Ex husbands cannot be counted upon to do what's right for their disabled child, at least, that has been my experience. I dread getting the disease myself but know that sooner or later it will happen.
Your description of Covid is so perfect that it makes me feel uncomfortably like I'm having it all over again. I felt like my skin was trying to crawl away. It *is* a strange virus and that alone makes me angry that those with the power to mitigate it and take it seriously chose not to do so, leaving us all on our own.
I hope you feel fully yourself soon. Thank goodness for Oliver and Carl and Maria and People Who Bring Soup!
Shoot- we all got it last september - meghan did the best and took a while for my energy to come back. We got all the symptoms and it was horrible! Hang in there friend and hope you feel “normal” soon!!
A soup of sad is the perfect summation of these times. I’m so sorry covid found you - it continues to be a terrible ingredient in the soup - and am thankful for the loving support you received and hex upon the others. Hope for your continued improvement, all the best.
I was also a Dodger for three years even when it ran through my household twice! I feel as though I am still recovering - random sweats, a sinus infection and lingering cough. It has been three months - I don’t have time for this! I am so glad no one else in your house got it!

Dear Elizabeth,
So sorry to hear about your prolonged Covid illness and hope you are feeling better. I completely agree with the utter ridiculousness of "Put on your oxygen mask first" especially after Aron once told me that the reason the airlines tell us that is that without oxygen, people become giddy and loopy before they pass out.

Hope you get to 100 percent asap.
This is so good and so real.
Fucking Hell. I'm thankful you have Carl, Oliver and Maria to help care for you and Sophie. Ex husbands cannot be counted upon to do what's right for their disabled child, at least, that has been my experience. I dread getting the disease myself but know that sooner or later it will happen.
Sending hugs and love to you.
I ended up getting my second Covid on my trip to see my dad. A very mild Covid but the feeling in the head is so strange and the exhaustion is real.
Sending love to you.

"A soup of sad" -- yes, absolutely, this. Hope you are continuing to recover from COVID and get some much needed rest.

What a tough time, you're having Elizabeth. My heart goes out to you.
I was also a Dodger for three years even when it ran through my household twice! I feel as though I am still recovering - random sweats, a sinus infection and lingering cough. It has been three months - I don’t have time for this! I am so glad no one else in your house got it!
Hugs is all I have to give from far away.
