Thank you everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers, . I was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon, I’m still coughing quite a bit, it hurts to take deep breath’s, sometimes my coughing bouts gives me a really bad headache. But I do feel better than I did yesterday. Hopefully I’m on the mend now. The health department won’t let me go back to work until November 28th at the earliest but my company might have stricter regulations on that I’m not sure yet. But if I don’t work I don’t get paid thank you again for lifting me up . None of y’all know me personally but you have all treated me like family, thank you

BobKatt22  SOOO happy to hear you are well enough for them to release you.  I think you probably shouldn't go back to work soon, anyway.  This is baaaad stuff and you need to get plenty of rest.  It's going to take a bit for you to get back to go - so don't rush it!  Take care of you!  Tighten those budget strings -  and maybe contact your house/car/credit card companies.  Lots of them are making allowances for COVID related late/partial payments.

I'm so happy you're discharged.  Was getting worried yesterday.  I know not being able to work is a concern, but thank goodness you're on the mend.

Thank you Nancy! I will do that. I’m not out of the woods yet, but the way I see it is if you are halfway into the woods then you are walking out of the woods!. Thank you for your love and support
