The last little ray of light shooting straight up. Clinging to existence not ready for the day to be over. https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2-r6UAqK6sM7n-9Z3Y2Gxr_KYN71coavoSUY0/?igshid=zf1wu40x4pfl

Me aplaudo por las cosas que he superado, todo lo que he logrado y la persona que soy ahora, celebró mis pequeñas victorias porque solo yo se lo difícil que fueron.

Something about this Virus....

There is something so peculiar to this virus. It's like clockwork. Every morning at 3 AM I wake up. Regardless of the time I go to bed.

What's odd is that I wake up feeling like Sleeping Beauty. As if I have slept a million hours. I feel rested. Ready to receive the world. I'm wide awake.

But then the dance will begin 💃🏻.......

I will dance this Tango of sleep with COVID. I'll watch an episode of Mariposa de Barrio on my tablet trying not to wake my sleeping boyfriend. (Despite my jealous stares).

And just in middle of the episode getting "good" I'll finally be able to rest my lids, of course right. So rest my eyes I will. And lucky me its usually for maybe another 3 hours. Here we go round the mulberry bush COVID here we go round. #RINGAROUNDTHEROSIE

First post....I’ve never done this

I’m generally not a woman of many words let alone public ones. But boy have I had a journey lately. This lead me think that to move past this difficult time I needed to talk. I needed to work things through out loud. Perhaps in doing so I could connect with others for support and understanding. 

On December 31st I was exposed to someone with COVID. A friend came to help my boyfriend and I move. We wore our masks with the exception of eating. The next day our friend called to let us know one of his family was positive for COVID. So, he had gone to get tested and was also positive. He wasn’t having symptoms at the time. 

I was officially diagnosed on January 13th. By the 15th I was in the hospital. I was hospitalized 2 weeks and diagnosed with COVID pneumonia. I fought so hard to not get intubated. It was tough physcially, mentally, and emotionally. I know I’m lucky. I made it. I got to go home. But the road ahead is long and steep. I realized real quick I can’t even say I can take it day by day. It’s literally second by second. 

With COVID, I went from a completely independent woman to a woman who needs assistance with things as simple as a shower or getting out of bed. I’m on a million meds, oxygen, a CPAP machine to sleep. Even typing now, its as if my body has had to relearn to walk, talk, eat, simply survive. I know this will be a process and all I have is time.
