As you know, I finished chemo, and thankfully, that part is over. Yahoo! I was due to have surgery a few weeks ago, but no, I got fucking Covid instead. Like fucking really? Yep, really. So it had to be postponed. I was completely ready for surgery too. Mentally, physically, and any other way, I was ready. Nope. I had to wait. Things happen for a reason, right? I suppose.
So I got Covid. It was simple. Easy. My symptoms were so mild I would have sworn I didn't have it. Seriously. Lucky for me though because I still don't have an immune system built back up. It's going to be months and months before that returns to normal. As a matter of fact, when I get a cold, it was much worse than what Covid was, by far.
I called my oncologist to let him know I had Covid because of the lack of immune system I have. They prescribed me an antiviral medication. Woohoo. Let's kick this out of my system ASAP. They prescribe it to those that are high risk. I had no idea something like this even existed. When I read up on it, it is 90% effective to keep you out of the hospital and from dying. Excellent. It worked and Covid was gone before I knew it. I got extremely lucky. It could have been really bad. But just wait you say? Yep, that's right because while Covid was on it's way out, I ended up with a double ear infection and an upper respiratory infection. Oh my fucking god! It's like I couldn't catch a fucking break. Why not try out some other infections while I am at it? Such shit. But I went to my PCP, got a 5 day antibiotic, and boom, that shit was gone quick too. Awesome.
Now that I am all good, my surgery has been rescheduled and that will be happening here soon. I had to go through the mental prep again, which I would have preferred to skip. But as I often say, it is what it is. I am ready, I think, and I know I want to get this part over with so I can move on tto the next, that way I am closer to all this being over with 😀
