I was more or less used to being alone and not having a lot of contact with others, however, this was different! Not being able to go out was not my choice now. Drs. appointments were my 'social' life in the past and all of a sudden that was out! Video and phone call appointments! Having to go in to the hospital for xrays and blood work was terrifying! Wearing a mask and gloves didn't make me feel safer. I had to go into a place where sick people were all around me.
I had been using WalMart's delivery service for a few months so that wasn't any change for me. It started out as a convenience and became a necessity! AND when my groceries and supplies were placed inside my porch on the table and chairs I had to wipe them all down before bringing them inside, just in case...
Going to the base pharmacy was also scary. Masks were mandated and a check post where troops inquired of our being safe were imperative if we wanted to get inside. The lobby of the pharmacy was devoid of chairs, you could not wait for your meds. They would require you to leave and come back in 3 hours! I mostly sat in the car in the parking lot.
If you did go inside for anything anywhere, sheets of plexiglass were installed between you and whomsoever you were speaking to. Boy I wish I had gotten stock in plexiglass!!
So many more changes, too many for now.
I haven't been here at the desk top for months and now must get off this chair. I'll be back soon, I hope.
