6. Never had it as far as I know

Mon Nov 6, 2023, 09:50 PM

Nov 2023

And I worked the floor in a state institution during half of covid and did in person patient consults in a local hospital during the other half.
I'm lucky. I was doing in person screening during covid while receiving chemo. My gyn oncologist understood I needed to work and knew that someone needed to do that job but she wasn't happy it was me.
