I must apologize for not checking back. I was still not quite myself after having recovered from COVID-19, then having issues with some other folks on other forums and that brought through the summer and not able to find this site again. I went to visit my son for 2 weeks in Sept. and found that I did have it bookmarked, came home and promptly forgot it again. At my age it is a wonder I can remember my own name. At any rate, I will make an effort to check in daily and I want to thank one and all for the warm welcome way back in May. Trust me, it is appreciated.

Oh no, you have to take care of yourself, especially now that we are no longer young. Glad you got to see your son though.

Glad you made it through Covid.

Welcome back.

Annilee, I live in an assisted living facility in NJ and I believe a staff member passed it to me and several others. 5 died, sadly. All in all we had 14 residents and 13 staff members that we know of infected. All who passed away had serious underlying conditions already. We are still stuck in here as the state has not moved for us. Everyone else is at phase 5 and we may begin phase 1 soon. Keyword is may. I did go to my son's down the shore for 2 weeks and had a great time. He has a nice boat and we were out as often as possible. But, I had to self quarantine upon my return.

Sounds as if you did something right.

Or just lucky.

Glad to hear you recovered from COVID-19, but sorry to hear about the passing of those in your facility.

Thanks for sharing Lois, that's tough for you. The people who take care of you are the people you got it from. What will you do moving forward, Lois?

What part of NJ are you at? My husband's family used to have a place in Ridgewood.
