It is with great thankfulness that I write this post. I have been ill the past few days and this morning got tested for the COVID-19 virus. At first I was in denial about it. But after experiencing the breathing difficulties and fever I had to admit to myself and my husband that maybe I got it. I talked to my son who lives in Germany and he simply said „“ mom, go get tested!“. He was right, it was the responsible thing to do. To isolate myself and care about other people. Right now we have a leader who cares not about others but only about himself and he has been the epitome of a horrible uncaring person. My parents raised me to love my neighbors and put myself last. So it takes 5-10 days here to get test results so in the meantime I am isolating myself and telling others. I know of others who have had the virus but who had to spend time in hospital ICU. I am on the mend after having a few days of difficulty breathing but I also had support of my wonderful caring husband nursing me, bringing me gallons of tea, essential oils to help with breathing (eucalyptus oil works!), and making me soup and toast . He has been so wonderful. I think our clean mountain air helps too just like in Heidi!
