y’all, we gotta talk

this covid + cancer combo has really got me scared y’all. the way it’s popping back off locally, i just know they are about to close the infusion centers and doctor’s offices again. i’m not sure chemo, party of one is the move.

sure i’ve laughed and joked about my village, and how the covid rules be damned — neither hell nor high water can keep my momma from coming to these appointments. even if she’s not actually present, in said appointments. if they shut this shit down for real, for real, again. she won’t be able to be there. and as strong as y’all profess me to be — i need my momma. there. chillin in the cut. on the ready to pop-off on whomever, whenever, on the dime. even that damned red devil. now she might have to take a breathing treatment to calm down afterwards, and i’d probably end up fussing with her about her own health. but, like that’s our shit. it’s just the way it goes.

what iz we gon’ do if texas keeps tex’ing? zoom chemotherapy? is there a chemazon prime membership i need to pay for?

    Yeah this can be very unsettling. I remember when I had to get tested for it, I just got up and said “just do it scared Vawn.”

    And that has been my mantra for a lot of moments in my adult life – a lot.

    This is a tough one. Sounds like me and Aunt Buffy went to the same school of mother hood. I can stay cool most of the time – but “pop off black moma” is all up in my blood. Just try me! 👊🏽💪🏽 😊

    Anywayz- health care places won’t close but they may try that one person stuff. Let’s just take it one day at a time . And pray for the kind of people that will be so understanding they will allow your mom in with her mask and/or a village member that works in healthcare. Have them wear scrubs and suit up and put their credentials on – that may do it for you to have someone with ya…🤷🏽‍♀️

    Still you got this💪🏽

      It’s so bad out here. I’m getting myself used to the possibility of having to go alone. Just gotta roll with the punches at this point.
