I wrote a poem for my Mother who lives with me and my fiance because she has end stage COPD and is on an oxygen concentrator 24/7. #Caregiving

-Mother-

Some years ago I learned the tale
Of the woman who had been woven
From a golden light
Who brought that sunlight with her to bring the day back to life

It's said any place her smile would go
Wiltted flowers would bloom
With a secret magic
That would vanish lonely feelings from dark rooms

She was a silent fighter
With a demon sitting on her lungs
Often stealing the breath right from her
But could not conqure the prayers on her tounge

As the demon grows more heavy
Her heart weighs in tow
Pained by the weakness
But she'll never let you know

Her soul and heart remain warm
Untouched by the cold
They call her a living angel
Her tale woven by heavens gold

Kind thoughts and prayers for my mom... #christianonthemighty #MentalHealth

I just want to say thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers! She fell on Thursday and fractured her leg. She is in the hospital right now. But her spirit ìs high. She also has some water on her lungs from the COPD. She's getting a diaretic to reduce the water which is helping. And, is feeling better all ready. thank you all again!!

Paxlovid with Wellbutrin

I had Covid last week and take Wellbutrin for depression and anxiety. The doctor prescribed Paxlovid since I have COPD said it could make the Wellbutrin less effective. I’ve been a terrible mess for days and hopefully now I’m not taking the Paxlovid it will straighten out. I’ve been having conniption fits, crying fits, feeling very weighed down with anxiety. It’s horrible!! #Anxiety #Depression #COVID19
