For myself
I feel a bit selfish making a prayer request for myself. But I am in ICU, fighting off pneumonia. It’s a bad case. I still test negative for COVID, which puzzles the docs, because it presents like COVID pneumonia. With all the attendant implications. A best case recovery will likely leave my lungs permanently trashed.
Anyway, if people were inclined to say a few prayers for me, I would be most grateful.

Wishing you a speedy recovery that surprises the doctors and your good self. But whatever happens, stay strong in spirit and may the Dharma always be there to help you.
Looking forward to many years of your thoughtful contributions.

Re: For myself
Thank you for all the prayers and good thoughts!
I am feeling a little better this morning. I can speak in full sentences for a couple of minutes at a time now, and the numbers on my monitor look better. I am still as weak as as a kitten.
They have me on Covid protocol still, in spite of three negative tests, just because of my symptoms. The poor staff have to wear hazmat suits just to enter my room.
It will be a long, slow recovery, so continued good thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: For myself
So glad to hear you're feeling better!
Take it slowly, hopefully your 02 sats will climb, and your covid tests will remain negative so you can get out of isolation, at least. Day at a time....trite, I know, but true.

Prayers for you Kathy. You are one of my favourite posters here as when you post it is always interesting. Please stay strong as a fierce kitten at least and keep us updated.

Leave the polluted water of conceptual thoughts in its natural clarity. Without affirming or denying appearances, leave them as they are. When there is neither acceptance nor rejection, mind is liberated into mahāmudra.

Re: For myself
Thank you all for the positive thoughts and prayers.
I am out of ICU and could be going home soon. I have some serious recuperating to do, but it won’t require professional assistance.
