One Week Later
Today I felt good for the first time in a week. I ate a burrito for lunch and spaghetti and salad for dinner. I lasted all day without crashing and even in the evening I felt energized. While discomfort comes through my chest from time to time and my memory feels a little disconnected still,…

Empanadas
During the virtual Baking Class today, I cooked some delicious savory empanadas! Even Rose was ecstatic. We were given the option to make one or both flavors. The vegetable empanadas agreed with me. Cooking was tiring. I had to take frequent breaks to sit at the counter on the high stool. If you have familiarity…

Wednesday Progress
Today is the first day I felt no aches since Friday and only need an hour nap. My chest is slowly mending from the vaccine. I ate small morsels for breakfast, lunch and dinner, still lacking an apatite, and ended the day with weight unheard of since 2006. I am enjoying not eating because doing…

Improvement and the Beauty of Bugs
This morning I woke suddenly just before 5 o’clock. I started my day at 5:30. I could hardly believe my ears when the scale announced my weight dropped to levels not heard for perhaps 15 years. Just in the last eight hours I shed two pounds. There is nothing like a bug to help slim…

Getting the COVID Vaccination
Today I got vaccinated for COVID 19. The San Francisco Lighthouse facility opened a clinic for the blind and low vision population to get the vaccine each Friday for the month of April. I received the email notice Wednesday, read it Thursday morning and managed to schedule an appointment through the San Francisco COVID hot-line…

COVID Saga Begins
My story of the COVID vaccine begins with the new month. I have looked for appointments to get the vaccine for the last couple months but Kaiser is doing nothing and connecting with the right folks has been a challenge. Today I called the San Francisco Vaccine hotline at 628-652-2700 and actually spoke with a…
