2020 has not been my year. In Dec 2019, I booked a cruise(casino perk) to the south Caribbean Islands,(7 days cruising and 7 days in Puerto Rico with maybe a side trip to the Virgin Islands), a trip to Oregon, several trips to Las Vegas at huge savings. All canceled Pr and the cruise because I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. During my recovery, the pandemic hit which canceled all my other planned trips.

In may, I started feeling a little run down, but nothing really bad. Early June, I had my cancer followup, and had my labs done for me GP visit two weeks later. By the time of my GP visit I was decidedly worse, but still functioning well. My new GP had not reviewed my files prior to ordering my blood work so she didn't have all that she needed. My liver enzymes were way high. She advised me to get a Covid 19 test since I was exhibiting symptoms. I tested positive for Covid-19. took 2.5 weeks to get results.

Because of my liver results, I got the full battery of tests I am supposed to get at least every other year. I also got a liver ultra sound. Good news, No cancer, no resurgence of Hep C. Bad news Fatty liver.

Just had a GP visit, was afraid I had some long term effects of Covid-19, trouble breathing, acid reflux, sore throat, chest pain. CT scan on my upper chest Tuesday. Good news looks like no lung damage, Bad News my thyroid is enlarged to the point that it is causing breathing and voice problems. Ultra sound scheduled for Friday.

that's just medical and travel, I don't even want to go into the rest.

so sorry to hear about your health problems plus canceling plans you looked forward to.....SUCKS!

The good news is that SW authorized extended the time to use the flight refunds except for the PR trip. I only had until 10/4 to use it, so that was 3 trips to Las Vegas to use it up.

Well that just sucks.

I'm having a better year than at least 10 of my friends and family, who are no longer with us. As long as I;m still on this side of the grass, I'll be OK.
