My 89-year-old dad has Covid
We all tried so hard to keep him safe. But he forgot his mask when he went to the store.
He was in pain yesterday and called for help. It apparently triggers his shingles nerve damage and it was so bad I wondered if he was having a heart attack or just needed to go to the ER. But, knowing he was triple vaxxed and careful and from being around him all the time - I didnt mask at his house. Forced him to the drive through testing and dammit if he doesnt have it. 😳
Now Im quarantined at his house with his grumpy a$$.
Aside from his pain, he says its like a bad cold. So thats good.
Just ironic that weve tried so hard to keep him safe and hes the Typhoid Mary that will have given it to me. I get tested tomorrow. 🤦?♀️
