I must apologize for not getting a column written last week, I was actually in the hospital with COVID myself and I sure don’t ever want to do that again! Thank goodness for modern medicine, doctors, nurses, and specialists who have been working so hard to help us for the last year. This is a nasty disease. If you haven’t been vaccinated yet, I encourage you to get your shot. Or if you need the second shot, please get it – I’m sure it is must easier than laying in the COVID ward at a hospital for a week!
