ASHLEY UPDATE SEP 20

ASHLEY UPDATE

Just to let you know that I am back from hospital. Enjoying their food is a good way to lose weight.

Turns out that the initial diagnosis of giant cell arteritis may have been hooey and it was really TB all along masked by the steroids I have been taking (prednesone).

I have been taking the meds (some 40 pills per day) and am now at the stage where I am not contagious as declared in writing by the doctor. I will be on these meds for a year, by which time I should be cured.

I was instructed that, though I do not need a mask in public gatherings, as I would not infect anyone, the reverse could be true as my immune system has been compromised by antibiotics. So, you still might see me with a mask on. As far as my responsibilities on council, I am still fully capable of handling the computer and tech stuff. Physical stuff has been passed on to my council colleagues (thank you).

TAKING OVER THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

A morning walk always has to include a stop for coffee. Today we found that this Chelsea group had taken all of Espresso’s chairs.
