Why I’m Doing This

When I first got sick with Covid, I thought that I was only going to have what felt like a sinus infection and that it would only last a few days. But then I got sicker.

That’s when I realized how much I did not know about this disease and that’s when I decided to start sharing on Facebook about how I was doing. I wanted to try to educate others, to warn others.

My Facebook posts really seem to have resonated with people. I received so many well wishes and comments and assistance.

Eventually, when I stopped updating as frequently, I would start to get messages from people looking for an update and asking me how I was doing.

As Covid turned into Long-Covid, I stopped updating about my condition as much because honestly, it hurt to have to tell people I wasn’t getting better.

But, as interest has continued to grow, I decided that maybe it was best for me to put my day-to-day updates on a separate blog so that those who are interested in knowing can come here and see.

Also, my stories started to pick up media attention and I figure that this would be the best way for me to update people on that as well.

So, I am going to use this blog to catch up on what was already on Facebook; to let everybody know how I am doing day-to-day; to update everyone on what medicine and treatments I am undergoing and; to talk about what being sick has taught me and is teaching me.

I really hope this helps somebody. That’s why I’m doing it and that’s what is motivating me. I want to help people who are sick and suffering like me to feel less alone. I want to advocate for those who have lost their loved ones. I want to let people know how I’m doing.

I hope this accomplishes that.
