There is NOTHING wrong with taking a break. Donโ€™t beat yourself up. Who or What is more important than yourself and family?!

Amee, I'm proud of you for this. I know it goes against every fiber of who you are. Long COVID is brutal. Taking care of you and mom and Poe is what you need. Looking forward to SHERO on Friday. ๐Ÿ’œ

So sorry you are having so many problems with Covid. I hope your mother's surgery goes well and that the hospital is not to crowded and scary. As Bob says try not to beat yourself up. Unfortunately life sometimes gets in the way of what we want to do.

We all need to take a break, give yourself one even though you are working in another capacity. Good thought to you and your Mom.

It's ok to take a break, both mentally and physically. Long-Covid sucks. I had Covid in January 2021. The fatigue has lessened but headaches, body aches, and weird, random symptoms remain. I started journaling my symptoms. It's physically and emotionally exhausting some days. Take care of you.

Feel better soon, and hoping for the same for your Mom!

Take care Amee. You won't beat long covid by over doing it. I am in your camp and understand. Switch off! I hope your mum recovers quickly. And maybe some input from her might be fun. ;-)

Safe travels and hope your mom's surgery goes well. The more I hear about covid and the more I feel like some sadistic fairy made my desperate wish come true for people to know what fibromyalgia and lupus feel like. The chronic fatigue is so hard to explain. I've been accused of being lazy, not trying hard enough, and so many other things. Hopefully you don't have the chronic pain too, because that becomes a vicious cycle. I don't know what's being done about long covid, but here's hoping it will resolve itself soon for you.

I am looking forward to hearing that all has gone well for @mamasreallyrule & that your trip was comfortable and carefree. I hope you manage some time to kick back, breathe, and wallow in the glory that is being HOME. Sending more HUGS and healing, positive vibes, along with a scritch or two for the Poe! <3
