Chanie, I have recovered from Covid-19 but I am left with fatigue and some memory issues. I have had some arthritic pain, but it responds well to my usual painkillers. Thank you for asking. 

I have been busy reading and watching lots of TV programmes. I am getting ready for my grandson's 21st birthday next week and  one of my great niece's birthday next Saturday. 

chanie

I’m pleased you are okay.  I hadn’t seen you on the other thread for a while, so it’s nice to ‘see’ you back!!!

I was just checking too.   I hadn’t “seen” you either.   Glad you are ok and just busy.  Take care after all you have been through.
