In the face of this new virus, we are asked to stay away from large gatherings, wash hands frequently, and use good common sense practices for our protection. It does seem to be spreading in all directions, be safe!

    Because of where my cancer was, and the damage from radiation, I've been living this way since December 2012. I can't swim all because I could easily get an infection in my brain. I wear masks when I vacuum and work in the yard. I shop mostly online. I do buy groceries once in awhile. I check popular shopping times to shop when Home Depot and ACE are almost empty.

    Some proof of this is that I was hospitalized for 4 days from a dog bite about 6 or 8 weeks after treatment ended. I had tetanus 2 years after that. Then I was basically bed ridden from Whooping Cough for most of 2017. 8 months after I caught it, a Pres office called about me getting a speech pathologist, and they got wheezing. They hung up and called back- They yelled they'd call back, I kept trying to tell them it was me. A few hours later they called and said- Oh my, the tech couldn't fix the phone. I told them it was me from Whooping Cough-call somebody else-see the phone works and call me back. If my son is home then, he can talk for me. They called back, told me they were so sorry- People with hearing aids couldn't hear me on the phone at all. Friends would yell-- I'm coming over. So they came over and visited.

    Welcome to my world. I'm 78, and my family is worried that I'll get the corona- and I don't mean a 6-pack of Corona beer. i reminded them that I've been living this way for 7 years now.
