From my own experience and confirmed by my PCP and some other friends, Paxlovid does seem to extend the time you test positive. Hopefully your respitory symptoms resolve soon and you get that negative result! Sending strength and positivity your way...
You are navigating so many difficult things with honesty, courage, and humor. Sending extra love for the dark moments and prayers for your brave and tired body.
You got me reading books by Thich Nhat Hanh again. I just finished The Art of Living yesterday and started reading The Art of Communicating today. Thanks for the suggestion.
I just started reading Three Years on the Great Mountain by Cristina Moon, a substacker I have learned from. In her new book she details her training at Daihonzan Chosen-ji, a Rinzai Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Hawai’i. Her inscription in my book made me cry (in a good way):
It’s such a mixed bag you are negotiating with grace and dignity and resolve. You make it look far easier than I know it actually is. Just the idea that you’re wrangling with Covid makes me so mad. What it says about our sense of community is grim. What it says about your ability to preserve is inspiring. Thinking about you every day.
I get so much support from you and Bennett! I’ve missed not seeing you in person now that you live in NY, but I’m happy to lean on FaceTime for our frequent meetups. When technology works, it’s awesome. Having a friend who is on a challenging health path of her own is priceless to me. Knowing you has helped me in so many important ways, not the least of which is the change in my identity as I allow my former professional self to fall away.
That’s a novel, intriguing bloom, and new to me. Awfully sorry to hear that your COVID’s dragged out—unfair they made an antiviral that makes you have the virus longer, but your life hasn’t been fair in a long time. A long year of that wound care is also unfair. That scan, though, means you’ll live long enough to battle the others…*most* important! 👏🏻🎈 Good heath to you!!

Congratulations on the good news on the cancer front! Stay in the moment.

And of course I meant “persevere” - texting challenged 🙃.
