Not Having Much Fun Right Now

The last month has been rough.

The cruise was nice, if not coldish.  But that's what you get when you go to Norway in June. lol   We did pack cold weather gear so it was ok.  Wearing a winter coat at the airport in NJ in June was odd but was glad to have it once we got to Copenhagen.

Just a few photos for now of our adventure to Norway.


We played the game show "Newlywed/Not-So Newlywed" and won.  Proving that being married almost 44 years is good for something.

I won/we won a ton of prizes and gave a lot of them away.(2 sets of clothing take up a lot of room in your suitcase).

We met a couple to hang out with on the ship.

I made it to Svalbard.





We got to know the airport in Iceland intimately(we were there 9+ hours).

Got on the plane to come home and were sitting directly in front of Typhoid Mary(or rather Covid Mary).  She was unmasked, sneezing, coughing and blowing her nose incessantly.

We had forgotten to pack masks for the plane so 2 days after getting home Hubs came down with what he though  was a Summer cold. He was better/over it in 3 days.  After he recovered suddenly I couldn't stand up.  That's when we knew it was not a Summer cold.

We had to call 911 for an ambulance to the ER since I couldn't get in the car.

At the ER they left me in the hallway for 24+ hours, not checking me in, then shipped me out to their smaller hospital where I was expected to spend 3 full days/nights before being admitted to a Rehab hospital.  Before leaving the ER they checked me for Covid and BINGO! that's what I had. I had evaded Covid totally until then. The gave me IV anti-viral drugs and then the OT and PT folks came in and said I was doing too well and the Rehab hospital wouldn't take me so they sent me home.  I relapsed 3 days later and spent 3 weeks in a wheelchair before anyone would send home health to help.

I've had home health for 1 week and I am doing better.  

Just a brief synopsis of life here lately.

Feeling Better

 I think I'm through the worse of this weird version of Covid I have but still have a ways to go.   The neurological issues I have are just making this worse.

I'll try to blog a bit when I am not doing PT, OT or sleeping.

I hope everyone is doing ok.

Iceland + Covid=No Bueno

 Sorry for the radio silence since we got back.

It's not everday that you fly home from Iceland and catch Covid. Ugh

I'll be back when I am feeling better.

Now I just want to sleep............
