1:39 am
zoozzoom
Oh I am so sorry! I did not know. I take it you will be recovering for quite a while then. Bless you. It sounds like it effects people for a long time afterwards.

1:46 am
sprite
she had a tough time waiting for the infusions, due to the corona situation. And then it wasn't easy on her in the hospital either. So not too great, at the moment.

Well, all they had to do was start circulating stories that meat was going to get scarce, and people started hoarding that too.
7:39 am
