I have been out of the loop for a while. To recap since my last entry: First, I had Covid wich lasted forever. They call it LONG COVID. 

Second, I was have severe problems with my right hip. I had to have a hip replacement, but to do so, I had to loose some weight so the doctor would no worry so much about infections.

Third, my primary care doctor prescribed Ozempic to help me to loose enough weight for the surgery. It made me very ill. I was nauseated most of the time and threw up anytime I did consume anything beyond saltinecrackers and ginger ale. Fun times. But, it is easy to lose weight when you can’t eat anything. After four months, I stopped taking Ozempic.

The upside to that is, I lost more than enough weight to get a hip replacement. However, I still wasn’t eating very much because of Covid. Remember Covid? It changed the way EVERYTHING tasted. Nothing as tasty or good or kinda good. 

Then, I got a really bad pain on my right side when my liver belongs. After many doctor visits, they determined it was a reaction to one of the drugs I take for arthritis, so no more Methotraxate. But that was after ultrasounds and CT scans which revealed an aneurysm, gall stones, and cysts, To date, all is well.

Except for the whole Covid thing… After months, I still have a cough. The doctors called it Post Viral Cough Syndrome.

I am finally tossing my sickbed aside and getting back to life. It has been a bad few months, but brighter days are ahead. The sun will always shine if we persevere during the dark times.
