Almost 2 months since posting...

 But I have a new/used desktop computer now - and I thought blogging might be fun to do on it.

A lot has happened since I last posted - even *I* couldn't re-read that last post - but I know it's about my stroke and the follow up events.  So it's good that I have that info "put" somewhere.

I don't feel the need to rehash it all, as I'm pretty much feeling back to normal.  Except for my right knee, which has a torn meniscus and I have to have surgery to get that repaired.  Because of my stroke, however, I have to be "cleared" by my neurologist before I'm allowed to undergo anesthesia.  I see his this coming Thursday.

I found an old "header" I'd made that I'm going to try putting on this blog design...

  Barely a week went by.  I continued feeling extreme fatigue, continued coughing and continued feeling really dizzy.  I was always hungry too - which was weird.

Maybe I had a stroke.  I heard ringing in my ears and everything went black and I fumbled around against the wall, grabbing th...

This Started in Mid-January

  Wow - I'm just starting this blog now, but I kind of wish I'd started it January 10th - because that's the day my husband tested positive at work with Covid.  Seven days later, on January 17th, I tested positive on a "home test kit". Actually, I knew I was going to get it because my husband had it.  And, of course, we kind of hang around together, right?  Well, on the night of the 16th I woke up feeling as though I'd been beaten all over my body with a baseball bat.  I tested positive in the morning. My husband had what he described as flu like symptoms.  Achy, cough, congestion, sinuses clogged, etc.  Me - I started out with the soreness, as mentioned, but I also had a slight fever that one night.  No fever after that.  I'd had a bit of a "sore windpipe" - it felt irritated or red inside a few days before the 17th and, of course afterwards as well - that sore windpipe and a cough was about the extent of my problems until around the end of ...
