Today is a changing of lifestyle day to me, it's been coming on for some time but reality is really setting in now.  My health has been declining slowly in this "avoiding Covid" atmosphere of staying in the home and only having gone out twice this past year for lab tests for multiple doctors and this weekend, our eldest dtr. took me out to a grocery store to see what it's like having been gone for over a year now.  I made it through the first aisle and at the length of the next (which seems to have grown longer than I've ever remembered it) I was OVERWHELMED by all the people and products and though everyone was very nice and patient, it struck me uncomfortably and I sat with the patients at the Pharmacy who were waiting for their covid shots and had little chats until our dtr. finished and we went home...my husband is quite ill now, Stage 4 kidney disease as well as inoperable heart disease, and has slowed greatly.  We're 84 now and feeling our age for the first real time.  I do enjoy getting notices of Hello from NOTH people and apologize for not writing or returning messages.  Life is changing and with strength declining, I'm not so good at writing, but I appreciate the time you take to write me. Be Well.
