I'm beginning to think Ron and I are the only people in Oklahoma who haven't had Covid. Today twin #2 tested positive. Twin #1 had it more than 6 months ago, but she's been exposed again. Fortunately, Ron and I haven't been around the girls for a couple of weeks so we will dodge the bullet once more. This variant seems to be spreading rapidly.
My brother is doing remarkably well. His new psychiatrist has reduced 2 of his meds due to his development of tardive dyskinesia. Both drugs have huge side effects and lowering the dosage has resulted in much clearer thinking. That all translates to less work on our part.
He did have one little incident with his adjustable bed. It is a split king and he had raised the head on his side of the bed to a full upright position. He told me he did that so he could lean on it and just lower himself into bed. Unfortunately, the bed stuck in that position and wouldn't go back down. So of course, he called us in a dire state of emergency. Ron drove over and attempted to get the remote to lower the bed but had no luck. Now, mind you he had a perfectly functioning bed on the other side but REFUSED to sleep in it! So, he slept sitting straight up that night. Ron went back the next day and finally (with force) got the bed to lower but he told Mike it no longer goes up and down. A little white lie but the bed has been an ongoing problem, so we took advantage of the situation and told him it no longer works. I'll probably go to hell for lying to him!
Like the rest of the country, we are baking here in Oklahoma. Last week we reached 110 but had a few low 90's this week. No end in sight. I can't imagine what August will look like. I may already BE in hell!!
