One Week Down...

One week down of home isolation, one to go. I am not happy but I am still here... 

...does the phrase stir-crazy ring bells?


Baba gave me the bad news. I have been ask to stay home and finish the last few weeks of the semester via home study. For the "Preponderance of caution for the health of the other students." My lab partner is coordinating our project via video link. He is not as good as Dagher, but he is committed.

Steroids have my emotions all over the place, I am crying a lot. The vancomycin is making me itch. The changes to my diet are driving me nuts. I am hating my new meat portion sizes. They are down to sizes of a half deck of cards. "It will pass," I keep telling myself.

  1. Someone asked so I'll answer. If someone comes into my room they have to wear a mask. If I leave the room I wear a mask. Pessimistically I am infectious for two weeks. So we act in caution. It looks like only three of us caught meningitis.

    Kaeleb is still "hanging out" on the ledge under my window. My baby misses me. I masked up and woke Zahir for morning prayer. One more week till I can wake him up properly.

  2. Has your doctor given you something like Eucerin cream? Sometimes that can soothe a deep tissue irritation.

    1. Nurse one and Nurse two started slathering me in SOMETHING, It is cool and it makes my skin tingle.

      I feel like a greased pig, but I don't itch.
