Laura G, Sassy 70’s<p>I am home today, released from hospital. I am better, but weak. I was very confused middle of the week. Thought this started with Covid. No, started with Flu-A. Couldn’t remember the doctor visiting the room. Still on antibiotics for my streptococcal pneumonia in both lungs. As I am 70 and immunocompromised, this has been double+ungood. Hair is a rat’s nest. </p><p>It’s good to be home. It’s an unusually beautiful day. A good friend brought me homemade soup, much more appealing than the hospital food. My 4 year old grandson told me on FaceTime I need to eat “veggie-buls” to be strong like him. Held up his arms and flexed them to demonstrate. He repeated this advice several times. </p><p>I actually feel weaker than at hospital. Perhaps because of the little bit more walking around the house. </p><p>Not strong enough to keep up with the News. So disheartening. <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/exhausted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exhausted</span></a></p>
