Guess my time is limited on this earth

Yeah, it has been a while since I posted.  Our house was finally completed with the rejuvenation to the tune of thousands of dollars and put on the market.  The buyers that looked at it the first day and came to the open house a few days later think the kitchen is so outdated (and it really is NOT) and are trying to basically get us to pay for a remodel. NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

We are still not totally moved in with lots of important things - like my thermometer and rubbing alcohol in off-site storage.  So why is that so important?

Well - granddaughter came home on the 13th because Marist shut down the school because of ------ CORONA VIRUS. They are now next door. From the 14th to the 20th we saw her daily.

So what's the problem - she went to the ER yesterday. She has a sore throat, high fever, her back hurts, and she has what could be considered in Texas as seasonal allergies.  She was a sick puppy.

She was tested for strep -  and that was positive so she was given an injection of penicillin. Then sent home.

She was also tested for the Covid-19. The results won't be available for 24-48 hours.  We are waiting.

So why do I feel like I will not survive this?  Well - I just read the posting of a young, healthy man who had brief contact with someone who at the time was not known to be positive.  He is in the hospital suffering from the virus.  He is not sure he will live through it.  And his contact was BRIEF.

I am monitoring myself - but without a thermometer. I guess I will go borrow one from next door where I FULLY suspect the virus is living.  but I don't really believe that is an issue.

Why am I concerned?  Well first, I am 74. I am a cancer survivor.  I am treated for hypertension. I am insulin resistant. And right now I don't know if I have seasonal allergies or the virus.  I have had a sore throat for well over a week - probably more like two. I do have a cough - but with a CPAP that isn't new.  I have had sinus drainage for years and the CPAP blows it up into the sinuses during the night (Sorry if that is TMI).

Right now - I am scared.  Really scared.  For my granddaughter, for her family and for us.  Sorry to vent - again. But this is my safe outlet.
