The past couple months have been pretty rough.
I knew this holiday season was going to be hard since it was the first one without my dad. What I didn’t know was how much COVID was going to kick my ass — physically and mentally. And, of course, I didn’t foresee my mom being hospitalized from Dec 21-26th for lung complications and breathing problems related to her COVID.
Most of my COVID symptoms resolved or improved after the expected 10 days. But some of the other effects that came on in the following weeks really took me by surprise.
