I have changed my mind about shutting down merryagnesblog.com. I find myself needing to express myself to the public in a literary way. I’ve been in the hospital fighting COVID-19 and after suffering a fall where I had a brain bleed. I have recovered but the hospital rehab clinic gave me a walker (aka rollator) which is more trouble than I thought. I can walk and do ordinary household chores more easily. I lost a lot of weight since I started merryagnesblog. Losing sixty pounds (I was a size 14) was a revelation. I attribute it to following a low carb diet and sharing my food with my two dogs, Max and Joey. I also discovered that I have hypothyroidism. I’m taking a pill to treat this daily.
After the fall, I went through physical therapy, which included speech therapy and occupational therapy. I finished the course which last a month and a half. I am grateful to Franciscan Health medical center for their kindness and care of me. In fact, now that I’m being treated for hypothyroidism my outlook on life is better. I had given up on writing and was depressed for almost ten years. Now I thank God that I’m given more days to live.
