Just thinking---I know that can be dangerous

Just thinking, I am betting that MANY of us are doing that during this time.  My thoughts tonight are those of one who's loved one is sick in the hospital and not doing well.  I KNOW and I understand that Terry is just dealing with much illness and it, I am sure, is very difficult. However when there is a sick person there is also most of the time someone else who is suffering in a different way.  Well that is me and perhaps I should not use the word "suffering"  as I at this point feel fine.  BUT there are many things that happen that are somewhat difficult to deal with.  As I reflect, think and wonder tonight these are some of the things:

  • I know that we are supposed to do social distances and that is very important.  BUT does a person really have to stand 20+ feet away from me because Terry is sick?
  • I knocked on someone's door Saturday after Terry went into the hospital to tell a friend that Terry was not feeling well.  Two days after that when it came out that she tested positive that person let me know that they are practicing extra measures because I touched their door!
  • Terry has been tested but I really do not feel it is conclusive but yet people want to tell the world that she is sick!
  • Someone did not want to come to my front door.  Instead it was better to leave something by my garage door and I could get it by opening up the door!
  • I had some kind of oder in the garage so I opened the door to air it out.  I got a remark about that.  Can the virus walk out my door, through the garage and into the street?
  • I was told that I should stay in the house for 14 days because Terry is sick and there is even a question about that!
  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • on the positive side now
  • I have been flooded with things like "we are praying for Terry",  "Can we do anything for you?", "What can I do?"  and it goes on and on
  • Over the last 3 days I have gotten 2 gin/tonic drinks, 2 meals, a dessert, a bag with home make soup, steaks and fruit in it.  
  • I have been overwhelmed with prayers, good wishes and phone calls
  • Terry and I are blessed
So I guess things do kind of even out however it is difficult to deal with negative's and with the whole issue of "Terry is sick and you must be infected too!

The bottom line it will take a few days but we will fine out IF Terry has covid-19 after I get my test results back but that will most likely happen Monday or Tuesday.  If I do not have it there is NO way Terry has it BUT she is very sick and the Dr. need to get to the bottom of it.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT!  I WILL WRITE ABOUT 1964/1965 TOMORROW AND THERE WILL BE MANY PICTURES.  PERHAPS MORE THAN ANYBODY, EXCEPT ME, WANTS TO SEE!  I will add here that I am  most thankful for the good memories of my high school days.  I know that many people can not look back on high school with pleasant thoughts.  I know that there was and still is favoritisms, bullying etc that goes on but for me that was never in place and for that I am thankful.  However I, like many, would do somethings differently if I were to enter high school with the mindset I have today.  But I do not wish to go back as one can not and should not dream that could happen.
