So, my 14 days of quarantine are up today. So far, the VA has not responded with guidance on getting proof of no longer being positive, but then they can't, can they?
Emory requires written proof of TWO negative tests before they will allow me to come in to any of their facilities.
F*ck it!
If my new hip falls out of the bone, it is on them for not allowing me to come in for the follow up.
Now, I shall once more venture out into the rainy day, first to MicroCenter for some memory sticks and then to Kroger.
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
