Hi Jane. We had the same restrictions. I live in Palo Alto which is only 30 miles south of San Francisco. I know mentioning a horse makes it sound more rural. We just happen to have a boarding facility 10 minutes from my home. I’m definitely not arguing the pressure. You know, I actually think that I had to be vaccinated to get to my father in NY. It’s been such a blur since I got sick. It’s also been a blur because I lost my father to covid. He was very healthy. Was just having trouble with time management and self care about 6 months in to sheltering in place. I found a highly recommended CNA who claimed to be vaccinated due to her profession, to help with shopping, cooking and household tasks. She was not vaccinated. I’m not saying that I felt everyone should be vaccinated. I just felt more comfortable having someone who was helping my Dad in his home because he wasn’t vaccinated. Even though he was older, he was hospitalized and beat it which is why I was able to get to him. I had 36 hours with him and he died in my arms. The whole thing is so confusing, painful and frustrating. I’ve read so many stories here that I can’t remember if you also had a vaccine injury. I’m still living like we are on lockdown - almost. My poor body can’t handle anything otherwise I would be getting back in sync with normal life. Do you or anyone in the group know of anyone studying vaccine injuries or long covid in the SF Bay Area? I’ve exhausted my options. Started at Stanford. Wishing you the best! I wish this wasn’t even a topic. But my jaw dropped when I found out how many people have suffered. I wish I could fix this for everyone. I’m not sure how to make this more known and to get help for everyone battling. Strength to all!
