I have been run through the ringer. I caught COVID on July 3rd. I got over that, but then I have what they call, Post COVID. I have been struggling with that up today. It feels like it is almost over. However, there has been some damage. My Iron count on the last blood was 766 the high allowable is 306. That is more than double the maximum. Also I have had sudden loss of hearing in my left ear. Both are connected to the COVID virus. I see my primary doctor today for the iron problem. I will also do a follow-up with my ENT doctor in a month.
______________________________________________________________
This took a heavy toll on me completing my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life. I have been too exhausted and weak, to do much. But keep coming back to check on the progress. I hope to have it out the end of summer.

I have been missing for over two weeks. My apologizes for that. I came down with COVID July 3rd. It was a bad time at first, but then I slowly recovered. Then we went to Hawaii for ten days. It was very hard for me, because I had to use a walker, and some of the walks were pretty tough. I did enjoy my time, and came home refreshed this last weekend.
