Covid 19 and Amps
Well we have been dealing with this COVID-19 for some time now and it's been crazy. I did have to see my prostatitis and only had to wait a week to get in, thanks #Hanger clinic. They did require me to wear a mask but all in all it wasn't bad, I personally think it’s ridiculous but that's my humble opinion. I hope the rest of you are doing well with the virus and it hasn't left you out to long waiting for doctors.
Summer is coming and as temps warm up we have to be extra cautious about sweating. What has had me concerned is that it's been almost a year since I’ve seen my Physiatrist who has now retired to go do research. I have been assigned a new Doctor, who I have never met before and going through all this kind of sucks at the same time. I was told they could get me in in June, so not too far away. Buy I still get a little nervous and watch my nub closely. I like to do stuff and still work a little and on the go most days, so I don't have time for down time.
I pray that everyone else has been doing well with getting out and doing stuff. What are everyone’s favorite spring / summer time activities? We bought an above ground pool this spring and going to make a deck for it, I love to swim and soak the limbs, LOL! We are in scary times folks and being an amp makes me nervous at times, especially when I need the prostatitis and get some things sized or adjusted. When things are good you don't need anything, but as soon as things go weird, you need them LOL. We are making some new videos coming to you soon, stay safe and remember, no one gets out alive.
