In these days of Covid-19, self quarantine, social distancing, stay at home, it all seems familiar. Nothing is new for me, it goes back a few years ago when I underwent 6 months of Chemo Therapy.
I was required to self isolate to protect me from outside germs, at times using face masks when venturing out in the world and in contact with others. I washed my hands frequently, carrying a supply of hand sanitizer, thermometer, first aide kit, blood pressure monitor and a stash of every type of medication from Tylenol to anti nausea pills.
I still have that backpack full of the essentials, but with updated expiration dates. The additions are BP meds and a small aerosol can of Lysol. It brings back unwanted memories of nausea, Matlock and Heat of the Night reruns at 10am. While Gayle goes stir crazy, it all seems normal to me.
