It finally found me


What might you ask?  The evil coronavirus!  Yes, I have now tested positive!  

I became very sick on August 18th, but all the tests came back negative.  Over the past few weeks, I have been a roller coaster of good days and bad days.  Then on September 7th, my daughter started working on home health with a new patient.  She told her boss that her patient showed signs of coronavirus, but they said it was just an ear infection.  On September 10, my daughter got sick, so she went to the ER.  On September 11, she got the call that her test was positive.  So she quarantined herself in her bedroom.  On September 12, David took out a three-month-old grandson to get tested for coronavirus.  Jax was already with his dad for his weekend visitation.  David and I quarantined ourselves in the bedroom with our three-month-old grandson.  All seemed to be going well, and then I started getting sick.  On September 16, David and I went to Dr. Burks to get tested for coronavirus.  Our little grandson's test was negative, so we thought it was just another cold.  Then September 17, the nurse called and said David and I both have tested positive for coronavirus.  

I wish I could say it gets better, but last night the doctors admitted my little grandson into Children’s Hospital in Knoxville.  He has a fever and vomiting.  He was already struggling with Gerd and has been to the doctors multiple times, but now he has Rhino Virus and possibly coronavirus.  He has a milk allergy, so they have tried numerous formulas.  I have asked everyone for prayers during this time.  Right now, they are trying to get him to eat and rest.  

David is coughing pretty bad tonight.  I worry about all his health problems.  This virus might land him in the hospital.  I had medicine on hand, so I have been taking clindamycin and penicillin twice a day.  My body aches, and I have significant fatigue, so I sleep every chance I get.  

Ashley and her family tested negative for coronavirus, but they do have streptococcus.  We FaceTimed with them last night.  It breaks my heart to see the Grand-babies so sick!  Austin said he and Kai are doing ok which is what I figured because Austin didn’t ever get sick much as a kid.  

My mom and sister seem to be doing good, and the kids are back in school.  

I will post updates on social media as I don’t have much energy to write blogs right now. 

Much Love - Tina

We have to stop meeting like this....

Tonight I talked to myself.  I said,” self, why do you feel the way you do?”  Then I said,” self, we have to stop meeting like this because it's one o'clock in the morning”!  I laughed because regardless of the predicament I find myself in, sometimes I don't understand why I do the things I do. Have you ever had a random thought and wondered, “why did I think about that?.  I try to ignore my random thoughts and feelings, but sometimes they just come out when I least expect it. Example 1 ~ When I forget to take my medication, I feel everything.  The depression, sadness, and pain flood in, and all I can do is cry myself to sleep. Example 2 ~ I was watching season three of Anne with an E tonight, and it hit me.  I was crying and feeling very sad.  I should be happy because it was a beautiful ending. However, my mind was thinking about how they loved each other in their youth and found each other again. Right now, in my life, love songs and anything sappy makes me cry.

Beauty in the chaos

Early voting started Friday, so I went to town and voted in the States Primary.  It was a peaceful drive, and then Friday night, we watched the movie 2012. There are so many theories and conspiracies floating around online that the movie made me think about all of them. My thoughts quickly turn to religion and how none of us know when our lives will end. Humanity has gotten it wrong, so many times, and religious leaders continue to attempt to guess, but even the Bible says no one knows. One thing that I know for sure is the earth is a breathtaking place, and I continue to find small glimpses of its beauty amidst the chaos.  Just yesterday, we went to Fall Creek Falls State Park, and I took a dip in the cold water. Families and children were everywhere, laughing and playing.  You would never think that the USA is in an uproar. I saw no signs of social distancing or a pandemic.  I didn't see any mask.  Men were walking their dogs, and the beautiful smells of wood burning flo
