A healer's prayer
these hands are healing hands
but oh, how they tremble
with every touch
they shake beneath the weight
of everything that never before
has ever meant so much
but oh, they steady
they steady, they steady
when the time is nigh
and the reaper comes
with hands held high
over a patient
whispering goodbye,
these hands, these hands rise
unto the sky
and plead - wait, wait,
wait,
they grasp at the fringes
of faith or fate
and beg,
they beg and beg
to let this one stay,
just let this one stay.
They plea with everything
to reconsider
just this one time,
to hesitate
and change its mind
and give just a moment longer,
they plea to bolster the weary,
they plea to be stronger
when the bell rings again
and all of these shaking hands
must fall quiet and still --
amidst the void of silence
a prayer grows to fill
the space between every heartbeat
that stalled as if to will
an echo in reply
and oh,
the relief, the quiet sigh
when a pulse is found
and the hope erupts around
the deafening quiet.
These hands are healing hands
but though they still tremble,
they do not do so alone.
These hands are healing hands.
From them,
hope is grown.

Fun fact- NOLA was the last place I performed in 2020 when Covid hit. I made it to Florida after with @worldofwondersshow - we set up the tent... and the world closed. It was a crazy weird airport shuttle and flight and everyone was nervous and scared. Next thing I knew, I was selling plasma, delivering groceries to pay bills. I'm so happy to be back with people that love me in a city I spent so much time in. The last city to know who I used to be 😂♥️ Happy you're welcoming my weird post covid ass back. Excited to squeeze all my friends and loved ones in #nola ♥️ I need, love and want you. #healthcareworker #nola #sacramento #sacramentoartist #performer #sideshow #circussideshow #villainarts #neworleanstattoofestival #thankful #luckyme (at Sacramento International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiRVTFyrHlP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well I've been daily updating twitter ofcourse. I kind of at the last moment decided I was going to do a daily doodle thing. I did this years ago, where I drew something every day for a year. I'm not doing a full illustration this time just really simple, essentially a couple lines and thats it. Just to help the creative juices flowing. I probably wont stick it out for an entire year but I keep getting myself backed up into an artistic corner and I want to back back out of it and find a new corner. Instead while I've been doing that, I've also been using it as an excuse to update the status of my current ailment.
so essentially, I had already self-diagnosed myself with the flu but I did go ahead and made an urgent care appointment on Saturday (?). I will say that I normally get a flu shot, every year, I did not get one this year. Next year I will definitely be getting one. I definitely got this from my coworkers and theres was like 3x milder than mine. My immune system was not prepared.
I did not want to physically go to urgent care because I didn't feel safe driving. I was super short of breath and I felt very drunk (because its in my ears! my ears are messed up). Also, didn't want to sit in a waiting room when sitting up sounded like a lot of effort and besides, what is urgent care going to tell me that I dont already know? viruses are treated with rest and fluids and thats it. However, I assumed my boss was going to be on top of me for some sort of a work note even though I'm not a full time employee and I dont feel like I should need one but I had agreed to work on monday and if I called in she'd probably pitch a fit. I discovered, thanks to the local spouse groups, that there was a local mobile urgent care. They came to my house! I schedule an appointment and they came out about an hour later. The most convenient thing ever. They apparently didn't take my insurance so they charged me 179$ out of pocket but I wasn't going to complain. I didn't have to go anywhere. I could track the MA on gps and they sent me his photo so I didn't "have to be scared" lmao. It was all very nice.
I had already tested myself for covid and it was negative. I was tempted to start myself on prednisone (because I practically have an entire pharmacy at home) but HR was a good 115 and adding steroid to that sounded not fun. Normally my HR runs 60s if Im calm and 80s if Im stressed. 115 with steroids on board didn't sound like fun. My 02 was dropping to 93 when I was up and walking around but it would go back up to the high 90s. This poor MA came with a laptop that virutally connected to a PA and they were like "what do you want me to do for you?" like I guess I mainly just wanted to make sure that I was safe to be at home and I have evidence I saw some sort of healthcare person as proof.
I oddly enough didn't have much of a cough until about yesterday. I was feeling short of breath and when I did cough I'd cough gunk up but mainly it just hurt to cough but it wasn't frequent at all. Now I'm coughing alot. The worst part was the hot/cold flashes. I completely drenched the bed in sweat. I've never seen that much water come off of me. I literally touched the valley of my stomach and it was a puddle. I splished my hands in it. I would alternate between uncontrollable sweating to then freezing to death. I thought I'd be over it and I washed all my linens yesterday and then last night, just sweat everywhere. Which was annoying because I felt....nagged..?..guilttripped? to go into work today by my boss. Like I was faking it..I couldnt possibly be sick that long(my coworkers recovered in 2 days)..maybe I was crazy and I wasn't sick?
so I did! I WENT TO WORK TODAY. My coworkers were actually fine. They said they were actually surprised they handled things well without me. I'm simultaneously proud of them and really aggravated that I went in. Because I really did feel terrible. I realized real fast how weak I was and my brain was not functioning. I even gave myself the easiest roll I could where I was off in a corner away from people and I was struggling. I was struggling to walk and I was struggling to stand. My partner at work let me know how bad I looked too. I apparently looked like a frail old lady. Which was nice.
So I went home. My boss is like "wait where you going?". I guess in her defense she came equipped with a bunch of throat lozenges for me but I didn't have a sore throat. I have no energy and cant breath. So I'm going home. I dont work tomorrow btw.
