Isolation: How Do We Handle it?

Posted by Teresa, Volunteer Mentor @hopeful33250, Mar 16, 2020

As boundaries are being mandated in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, these boundaries are affecting every area of our lives. Many hospitals, assisted living facilities, places of worship, libraries, restaurants, community centers are being closed to visitors and public gatherings. For many of us, these keep us from our typical ways of connecting with others and engaging with a supportive community.

What are you doing to keep yourself connected?

SHORTSHOT/NANCY)MOST OF THE BOATS ARE 22 FEET LONG. BY THE WAY I'M GOING FO THE HOSPPITAL AT 8AM IN THE MORNING FOR A BIOPSY ON THE FIST SIZE CANCER THAT GREW UP FROM MY GROIN TO MY RIBS ON THE LEFT SIDE. IT'S REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE AS IT MOVES AROUND A BIT. WHOULD REALLY LLIKE TO HAVE A SURGERY AND GET IT OUT,, BUT ALONG WITH TWO DIFFERENT LUNG CANCERS ALONE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE I DON'T THINK A DOC WOULD COME NEAR ME. I'M TOO MUCH OF A RISK FOR ANYTHING. NANCY SHORTSHOT

Shortshot/Nancy: I hope you have someone to drive you to appts., as I know you must have to go to the valley, either Salem or Portland, for specialized tests and treatments. If not, contact me personally so that we can try to set something up.
