Who else just wants to feel like a pile of poo with me today?
This is not a real question, but you are invited to join me in my sick day today.
Today all the mucous membranes are burning- all. Of. Them. If you have to ask what that means, you don’t have enough people assigned female at birth in your life- go get more of those people in your life (once you have more energy). Everything feels inflamed- if you have to ask what that means then you haven’t made up songs about having diarrhea (I have, and you are invited to sing along and make up your own verses too). Body aches? Random joint and muscle pains- which are not so bad for me? Check.
My fellow autoimmune people out there with way more pain- you are so so so strong! Wow, so strong!
No energy, no appetite. Mouth sores? No, not yet, those will probably show up in the next day or too. Too tired to read? Check.
Let’s just watch the weather channel, maybe a nap, some very bland soup if the tummy tolerates it, what soothing movies should we watch for our sick day? Any hand drawn coloring pages anyone wants to share?

Oh well done Ray!
My thoughts are with you during this time of sorrow and huge readjustments.
You have made major decisions. Your dear wife would be proud of your new directions! You are so right. Isolation is dangerous, you have made wise choices.
These senior years are challenging, and require strength during our most vulnerable times.
I trust you will enjoy your new community.
All the best to you as you go forward!
Thank you for your kind words.
Ray
