I woke up several times overnight covered in sweat. I am still getting chills, mostly when lying down in bed. I would feel cold so I would use the electric blanket and comforter, but then it would get hot… but I still feel cold. Anyway, I got up at around 6:00 am so I turned on the news. Bad move.
It seems that COVID-19 is getting worse in California, and especially in LA County. I thought I heard it’s leading the nation in number of cases. What the hell? Again, what are these people doing that they’re getting so many infections? The donor coordinator said LA County Health Department shut down all operating rooms overnight last March and it could happen again. Not only will that make my sister need more tests, it will probably push the transplant surgery further out. What I’m hoping for is that they need to keep some transplant surgery capacity open for cadaver donor transplants, which can’t wait. If they need to have an isolated resources available anyway, they may keep the living donor surgeries going to be more efficient.
I does look like the curve is easing up at the end of the graph. However, much like looking at a stock price chart and predicting the future, we don’t know if it will pick up in a few days/weeks, or if we’re on the decline. Next two weeks will be nerve-wracking for sure.
