I do also, for the most part so as not to endanger him. His dr appts are now by telemedicine. He does have to go to the lab for bloodwork. It’s a shame his/our last months or years have to be so limited and scary.

I have to get it done every week or 2 because I'm on blood thinners. Sending best wishes to your husband.

Our son just stopped by. He wanted to go to Lowe’s but drove away when he saw people lined up to the parking lot, many without masks. People here have decided the change to yellow means do what you want. It’s become even scarier than before.

Good luck with your trips for bloodwork. Stay safe.

Prescribed for when I exercise, walk long distances or when I'm sleeping. I don't need it when out running errands, unless I'm on the mend from another bout of pneumonia or bronchitis.

The only structure I've been in since mid-March is my own home. I have left the house two to three times a week but only to ride in the car for a short bit so I don't go stir crazy.
