What I'm using as a mask

I took a c-pap mask, put a c-pap filter in the tube connector and now I have a mask that I can use while shopping that won't deplete what's needed for medial workers.

What a smart solution! I hope you stay healthy, friend.

Thanks, Lydia. You stay safe too.

Great idea! Stay healthy.

I'm trying, Berthold. My mother is on lock down in her senior living facility, so I'm out buying her stuff and dropping it off outside and they take it up. Took her get a shot today, first time in three weeks I've seen her. Other than that we've been in lockdown since wife retired. I used to go write at the local library and our Writer's2writers group is on hold, about the only cramp in lifestyle right now.

That's too bad you can't go to Writers2Writers. Hopefully you can stay in touch with the group online.

I hope your mother is doing well. Very good of you to help her out.

She's not doing well, she needs two heart valve repaired. Her doctor can't get the heart hospital here to schedule an echocardiogram. She had the valves replaced in 2000. A repair is done through the vein and doesn't need invasive surgery. It seems they'd rather let her die. Sorry I had to vent. She's been in solitary confinement for four weeks with their lockdown. Which is hard.

Berthold Gambrel said...

I'm so sorry to hear that! How terrible. All the better that you are helping her out.

P M Prescott said...

As much as I can under the circumstances, Berthold. Thanks for your concern.
