Virus

Well, we are sort of getting back to normal. I have missed a good bit of what all you wonderful people have to say.

My mom’s live in caregivers got the virus. My mom is 99. They moved out, we moved in. I felt like I was crawling with microbes for the first week. The caregivers have recovered, my mom didn’t get the virus, and everyone is back where they belong after a month of worry.

I do believe my mom intends to outlive me. It was a fantastic month being with her. The life of the party.

The photo is our son’s dog taking over the cat bed by the fire. Hard to imagine he can fit in there.

I hope everyone had a good holiday.

Good morning happy new year so are you ok then and your mum never got virus and how long was she in contact with the carers when they had it, it is a weird virus some of my family had it and in there bubble didn't but then others get it easy and don't know where from so I am mentioning that for anyone reading so not to get too less cautious with it, this will put my mams mind at ease tho, she was anxious today just because I went to shop and I told her was no one in just grabbed couple things at front of shop and was well covered, your dog is a real sweetie and don't they just love going in places they shouldn't, where is your cat tho and I'm slightly concerned about my cat been in a fight with a cat and him been safe of the virus but I think we can over think and worry too much so I keep blocking that out he was ok before all tho he was real poarly with a strange cold just after virus came out, I hope you have a nice day hugs from Mandy and pixie oh and your mum must have good genes and so you also and made of strong stuff,she sounds amazing 😸😊🌟xx

Thank you so much for the thoughts. The cat was in my wife’s lap at the time so didn’t care about his box being taken over.

My mom is pretty awesome for sure. Grew up on a farm. Maybe that is what did it:

Hi, just writing to say hello and to learn that your mum didn't get the virus against all odds. Tell your mum to continue doing what she's doing as it seems to be working for her.

We are all still learning about Covid19 as some people appear to get it easier than others.

No doubt we'll all be still debating this subject over the years that follow.

Glad you are feeling more upbeat though.

Cheers.

A very happy new year to you daveh121 and good to catch up with your latest news. What a blessing that your vulnerable mum didn't get covid19 after all, but that must have been a quite tense time for you all. I hope you'll all continue to stay safe and well as we try to beat this really horrible virus which has caused us all so much unpleasantness.

Hopefully it will all be over soon. Good to hear from you.

My mom is a tough woman with a good attitude. It sure was fun being with her for a few weeks.

Been a long time since you’ve posted and it’s good to hear from you! So glad your mother is ok and everything turned out. Some elders are just amazing and she appears to be one of them! Hopefully this year will be better for everyone.

Hopefully we all have a better year ahead. It was fun being with my mom. She has a great outlook on things.

Hi dave and a Happy New Year to you and yours. What a worrying time that must have been for you all but so good that your mum was and is OK - what a fantastic age - and everything is back to normal. Yes, that cat bed is a little small isn't it 😁 but he looks determined bless him! Hope this year holds far better things for us all than the last year did. xx

Thank you.

The bed is big enough for a cat. The dog weighs 80 pounds. I think he just liked being near the fire.

My mom is still going strong. Great sense of humor.

Well you've had a bit of a time of it, what a worry for you but I'm so glad it all turned out well. By the way, a happy new year to you and this will be a much better one. I love the photo of your son's dog, he's lovely.

daveh121• in reply to4 years ago

Thank you. Yes we all need a better year.

I didn’t get much exercise being in town with my mom but am making up for it now.

• in reply todaveh1214 years ago

We certainly do.

I can well imagine that you are making up for it now and needing it somewhat, I know I'd definitely miss it. Enjoy getting out.

daveh1214 years ago

Happy new year to you too Jerry. And thanks for all hose wonderful comments.

I wish I know what the secret is. Good food, exercise, good outlook on life? Who knows.

She never had a driver’s license. Rode her bike or walked where she needed to go. At around 89 she broke her hip and the doc suggested to her it was ok if she didn’t ride her bike anymore. She said why should I stop now?
