Since covid.. the roller coaster ride

2020 Jan went from snow storm to Portland trip for bday! Feb was all random things. Then came March with the news of a deadly virus. B got wfh for next 3 weeks. April went by, May end b fell sick and isolated himself in the basement. June beginning test result was negative! July mid I got severe unbearable stomach ache and went to emergency ðŸš¨- drips taken! Then a couple days later with couple of scans taken found out it was gall stones. Cured with medication. August Balu and me had severe fights, friend Jen counseled us. We worked on it for a week and then went back to normal. Sept went by fine. Oct me and Tvisha went to Utah.. a much needed break from all the chaos! Once I came back, b was fully stressed by work, he went to the doc to find out he has high bp, then the doc prescribed a medication and that changed the entire story. Soon he faced many side effects. Rapid Weight loss was the most visible one and that was due to all the food allergies that arose. Nov end Balu went to emergency ðŸš¨ with tooth ache. And then the next day for an emergency extraction of a then recently done root canal tooth. And then the same day he dailed 911- said he had confusion. While he did answer all the general questions he asked me to ask him, he still felt jittery and hence called 911. The professional advised him not to go to emergency. And he was just nervous and anxious. It was a panic attack that mimicked a stroke symptoms. 


2021- hoping it gets better this year. Lol. Jan was all dentist appointments for me - 2 extractions and one root canal. Feb too had some dental things going on. Till March it was horrible days, and I waited for Balu to go to India, hoping things get better there. April- my parents came we had a gala time. May he and his parents came, my parents left, I told his mom everything that happened. She said she felt things were getting better from March. B continually questioned himself why all these was happening to him. Connecting all the relevant and irrelevant things together.. and then May- I closed peekaboo- my small business and sold everything. June we sold the house stating vaastu issues and hence all these were occurring. Once he sold the house, his boss at work left the job, who was causing a lot of stress at work! We got 30 days to move out- and we didn’t make a decision on where to move until really late. Found an independent house for rent. One Friday we moved out. Moved stuff to the house owners garage and got keys on Monday. And then we moved our stuffs to the new house that we are taking for rent. Inbetween we resided at a hotel. Can the rollercoaster ride just end? 


July looking forward for some positivity! 


Edited to add - July I burnt my mouth with hot tea, fighting with gums and tongue stinging- unable to eat anything. Really hot red the inside of my lips are. It hurts. Took 5.5 days to heal and eat normally. 


August - loosing a friend - heart breaking 


Sept - water pipe in bathroom broke and flooded home 


Oct- Tvisha got throat infection, 

have to vacate home for a week for bathroom repair work 


Nov - falling out of love, decoupling moment- major fight! But recovering! When fights frequency is yearly once- they r huge, full on mental strain! 

Crashed my car once again- on the ramp- rainy day - my bad day!
