Yesterday’s journal question was about emotional resilience but today I’d like to share with you about my physical resilience! Today is the 17th day of being sick with Covid and I am finally feeling like I’m in the curve. I’m on the mend and let me just say, it has been a long row to how. Some days have really been touch and go. Last year, I decided not to take the covid booster because I had heard some horror stories about side effects. I have now changed my mind. I will be the first in line to take a booster shot this year because nothing can be worse than what I have just went through. And it has taken so much physical resilience to do it in an environment that is not conducive to recovery. (and I actually mean that in more than one way. Drugs everywhere…not conducive to recovery. But alas, I have overcame and am stronger because of it. Sickness everywhere…but I made it through. I am not sure if I’m stronger because of it but I am definitely grateful and appreciate my health even more, so I’m better in many ways!) I have had to get up to put on a uniform, even when I should have been in bed. I have gotten up to be counted even when I could barely stand on my own two feet. I stood in a shower because there’s no such thing as a bath. I had to come out of my room because this environment said I had to go to a class even when every professional medical person in the world would have said, stay in bed and away from people. It’s been a long two and a half weeks and I’m so grateful that I was strong enough to make it through this!
