Livre d'Or

I'm going to be continuing isolating myself and wearing a mask when going out, until at least a couple months after I have my spinal fusion surgery, regardless of what our government says is appropriate. I'm immunocompromised, and the very last thing I need is to catch COVID-19 going into or coming out of the Exorcism of Demon Spine. It's not really much different from my life before COVID, since I'm pretty housebound because of my disabilities and not having easy access to public transportation.

My roommates (as of right now) are wearing masks to work, though I haven't talked to them about what happens when the state finally lifts that requirement. I suspect that at least Jenn would continue wearing a mask, since she works in a grocery store. Kat works in an office building and has her own office, so she may decide to stop wearing masks since her contact with people is really limited.

My biggest worry is that I'll be in the acute care hospital for at least a week after my spinal fusion surgery and then, very likely, in a rehab center for a few weeks. A LOT of our cases (like 60%) have been in care facilities. But they're strongly linked to long-term care facilities, so hopefully I'll be okay.
