Update and Poem, To Be More

Yesterday Richard inspired me to write this update. Thank you Richard. To Be More 3 days of this virus, feels like 3 weeks Every hour a battle, as minutes flit by Extreme cycles of hot and cold, ongoing Losing track of a neutral temperature Headaches, nausea and chest pain But mainly the tiredness and exhaustion Doing minimal things can wipe you out It feels like it's an effort to think, to breathe Energy you may use to bring in loads of wood, It can take that much, to write something like this Thankfully, I only lost all my breath once Having to sit down a while to get air back again But doctors who call daily are still concerned, I may need more later, so they prescribe inhaler I am seperate some from my pets I love most As I try to keep taking care of them in ways advised, Wearing a mask, washing hands, some distancing They don't understand and that breaks my heart But, I am making it and they are making it Every hour, I think, I survived another hour I have had serious health issues in the past But, this is certainly different and my body is at war A constant cycle of juice, water, vitamins, food, tylenol Filling my body with all I can to fight and survive this Because, here, there is no treatment and it's up to me It is a roller coaster, just after a lift, there is a fall again Sometimes I feel like I'm dying when crashes happen But, I am winning! I won, the prize of seeing a beautiful sunrise this morning And hearing multiple birds sing happily outside in my yard I am winning every time this thing knocks me down and I get back up! Driven to do more, write more, reach more, be more! Thank you all Heidi Sands 4/10/20 In addition, with only using internet from data on cell phone and losing a signal, it gets difficult getting things into soup, without having to enter it multiple times. So for now, that is in my way too. Take care everyone :)
