Wish me luck.

We are having our Thanksgiving dinner today (a day late) with my husband's side of the family. Last year we had Thanksgiving dinner with them and it turned out to be a Covid superspreader event. Ten out of the twelve people in attendance came down with Covid. The two that didn't had it a few months previously. My husband's and my case of Covid wasn't bad, however, I suffered from extreme fatigue for three months, and my husband had shortness of breath for a few months and then needed stents for his heart. I swear that his heart issues came about because of Covid. I also know that I am catastrophising when I think this way. My husband says that he doesn't want to let the thought of Covid ruin the rest of his life. I know that this is the healthy way of thinking, but I am still anxious about today. We got a new puppy about a month ago, and I haven't been able to get a lot of sleep because the puppy is an early riser. This makes me anxious. I am so disappointed in myself because I thought that I was beyond this. Maybe I'll drink a glass of wine, which I haven't done in over a year. It's safe to do that because I am not on any medications now. Anyway, please wish me luck.

Hi punkster, Hope everything is going well today.

You know a glass of wine may just be the answer in calming you down a

bit as well as the properties of antioxidants in wine. Good Luck, let us know

how it goes xx

Wishing you lots of luck. Another option would be to wear a mask. I've been pretty much maskless until my daughter got sick. Now I'm masking wherever I go, even though no one else is masked. I can't risk her getting sick with something else at this point.

Hello all. I'm not sure how to add to my original post, so I replied to myself. The dinner went fabulously, and I wasn't that nervous. It is a week from the day of the dinner and everyone who attended is healthy. I wanted to let anyone who suffers from health anxiety due to Covid to read this so that they can be encouraged.
