So many say "Living My Life".
I can't say I am.
Yes I feel well, MAC Intercellular down to nearly nothing without the antibiotics, light exercise before nebulizing, postural drainage with percussion before and after, mask 99% percent of the time, hot water tank temp. raised, shower head allowed to dry out before another shower, etc. etc. etc. and eat healthy.
However, I for various reasons including the need to clear my mucus after anything I swallow and then wanting to avoid Covid, Flu, Cold, RSV, Pneumonia etc. I avoid, 95% of the time, being out and about in situations where there will be a large numbers of people in close contact. Why,.......because I am more concerned with avoiding all other types of illnesses as outlined...for fear of a hospital requirement, stay.
With living alone there is also that time factor. Having to do all we need to do for our health and then having to do all for ones self and keep up a home...even if you hire some things out it's hard to get it all done and then a good nights rest.
Maybe I need a good talking to. I'm not depressed, just disappointed with the loss of... not.... having to consider so many things that one didn't have to consider before.
I'm trying to find my way out of that mental state and hopefully I will.
So glad I could vent and know there is an understanding by those listening and reading this.
What a journey we are put on.
Barbara

@blm1007blm1007 I’m sure living alone adds a whole different complexity to managing this disease. I’m not there yet, but I’m certain that one thing could change my perspective on risk … with anything . Warm wishes for you to have clarity and peace with whatever you decide .
