Guess what?
I caught it.
Actually, it's the second time for me. This time I have my sense of taste and smell. The symptoms were more muscle aches, and feeling really cold and wanting heat. I had a televisit with my doctor on Thursday. I actually called in sick to my boss and arranged coverage at 0500 because my case start was 0700.
I remember Tuesday night, wrapping myself in a blanket and just listening to friends talking, and not really taking part in the conversation. I felt so low. Wednesday I managed to work but I kept a thermos of hot water with me, and Spirit had told me as long as I keep drinking hot water through the day I will be all right. I had worked Monday--high exposure in the O.R. from the staff--had Tuesday off and felt 'off' but not 'sick' that day.
My mask is on now, and I carry a package of clorox disinfecting wipes with me, so when I go visit the bird or the office or the kitchen, everything I touch I wipe.
Can we get sick? On a soul level, no, but I'm not up to that Hope Johnson level of existing yet lol. I think my soul wanted to experience what everyone else has been experiencing, and I was at my lowest with the proposal by my ex, so, well, why not?
In so many ways, I've come to realize (a spider just walked on an envelope here, it's a sign from Divine Mother and SaraSvati) that humans are meant to be not as Adam and Eve (alone) but as groups and communities and families and collectives! That's where we shine with our spiritual gifts.
Being at Disneyland for the New Year was magical, because people were like they were before all this pandemic. Happy and filled with joy. Laughing and dancing. It was life-giving to be in the crowds. It really was. Life-giving and life-affirming.
On Wednesday I was needed. Both by the surgeon who had taken one dose jab in fear--his wife yelled at him! Why didn't you ask her?--and he didn't want another. I directed him both to the Pacific Justice Institute, and also Peyton's Places on ESPN+. Another surgeon just came back after maternity leave. She had done it basically on her own, like me. It says a lot about our society where highly successful women reproduce like this instead of with partners. It says something about the men...and I suspect the porn model of someone not-too-bright and looks a certain way. There's nothing sexy about smart girls who are over twenty. I made a fuss over her new baby, he's adorable, and her happiness is much deserved.
Wednesday night I came home and went straight for the tub. I needed heat. Then I went to bed. I'd been basically apart from Anthony since Tuesday because I met with friends on Zoom at night.
He's fine. If it was Disney, he'd have it.
But at my work, both works, both break rooms--lots of people are catching it. It's full.
My sister and nephew have it. Their symptoms are mild, and it's almost over. But my sister reminded me of my supplies I have in my closet just in case.
And another friend, she knew the dose, with I share with you.
Here's the closest thing to the full interview by Aaron Rodgers on his Covid experience. I watched the full hour. But, like him, I took one dose of Ivermectin, and in hours I was feeling better. Today I feel almost like myself, except my body has been working hard.
Did I know you could catch it twice?
Not really.
For me now, it's been like I had a booster and I had the setback now I'm better.
I'll just pray and watch for Anthony. I can give him the prevention dosing too.
How did I get this life-saving medicine? I ordered it on Amazon long time ago, but unfortunately, it was a horse dosing that goes through the skin. A friend knows a friend, all of us are medical people, and one of these friends is a Mexican national. That's how I got it, for everything is over the counter there. If you have chance to travel, you might want to get it. Veridex is the brand name, ivermectina 6 milligram pills, four to a package.
Is this medical advice?
No. I'm sharing what I'm doing for me.
My doctor doesn't know about the ivermectin.
She just says, 'stay hydrated' and 'if you get worse go to the ER'.
I watch my pulse ox and make sure I'm over 94%. You can dip with exertion but it has to come back up.
I've been laying on my stomach on huge piles of pillows to support my hips, for long boring hours.
I take extra aspirin to help me counteract the clotting risks. My sister is eating lots of garlic for the same reason.
I also get thirty to sixty minutes sunshine in the back yard.
And I trust and I pray.
The reason I can't make a Reiki Request for myself on DWR, the team one, is that my son's grandmother--who talks a LOT and gossips--is in that group. And that family has weaponized the Covid. They can't know.
But all healing is appreciated and accepted.
I'll tell you, the course for me was a lot like my friend. Sore throat at 0600, otherwise, perhaps a little headache. By evening it's worse. By 2 a.m. it's horrible fevers and chills and aches and you can't sleep. There is no way you can work the next day. My friend has both fibromyalgia and migraines, she's used to pain, but the Covid is way worse for body and head aches.
With the ivermectin, and protocol, in two days you are fine and over it.
For work? I have to wait ten days I think, maybe five. I'll test on day five and make sure I'm good.
Have I been giving myself Reiki? Yes, a lot.
I needed more this time though.
I hear Magnesium and liver or liver pills is good too. Epsom salts I'll try today.
My sister says that the catchiness and mildness of Omicron is like a vaccine for everyone and will help us to get over it and move forward as a society. I hope this.
I can't find words to describe the hell that my surgeon who had gotten the one set of jabs in fear because someone he knew died of covid, when he learned I have an exemption. Because now they are making everyone get the booster. He's stuck. His eyes reminded me of some of the artwork by Da Vinci on the sistine chapel showing 'the damned'. It was sad. That's why I chose to help him find his way--as he said, 'now he KNOWS BETTER!'...so many are going to be in that boat too.
When things like this happen, just allow it, and allow the lessons and learning for your soul. Don't place blame or feel like it's a failure of protection or anything. I had a feeling when my most OCD Respiratory Therapist Edra caught it, that perhaps I might too. We'd both gotten through all the other surges without catching it. Vaccinated or not, boosted or not, remember no matter what earlier treatment is key. Find the right people to help you--indirectly America's Frontline Doctors information is what helped me.
Last night I was hungry for tacos and horchata, chips and guacamole. And it was a good thing.
I know Ross is will me and guiding me. Ross loves and forgives everyone. Be like him when you think about this whole pandemic. Remember the beauty of humanity with when we join together and become more than we are. Don't let propaganda and ego separate us any further. Reach beyond your comfort zone and help bridge the gaps. Stay safe but don't go stressed over it!
clap! clap!
Aloha and Mahalos,
Namaste,
Peace,
