Yeah. She's doing okay, thank goodness. Prophylactic antibiotics seem to have done their job, and we did both get our vaccines. I've been taking extra zinc and other immune-boosting stuff in efforts to avoid catching a cold from the sea of unmasked people in the various waiting rooms, and I hope it bears fruit.
It's just ridiculous. Even if nowhere else, a hospital should be the place everybody masks. If only to avoid getting saliva particles from speech in fresh surgical wounds. I mean hell, this is the place where "surgical masks" are reasonable minimums!
Ugh. At least she appears to have escaped the worst of it, but I shudder to imagine the people who are getting cancer surgeries after chemo or other immune-damaging treatments.
