Covid scares the bejesus out of me. The news stories from four years ago are still fresh in my mind, the patients you could barely see for all the tubing, the refrigerator trucks used as temporary morgues. Also, also being past 80, I've noticed that my bounce-back time from *anything* seems extended. Didn't have any colds during those years when everyone was masked. Now, when I get them, they linger. These days when I wake up, I do a quick inventory: everything working? any new/worse niggly aches and pains? can I feel my toes? REALLY don't want anything covid-related.

It's been more than a year since PMR started, and it seems almost gone-ish, down to my last crumbs of Prednisone. Haven't had any negative reaction to two covid boosters other than mild soreness at the injection site for a day.
