I've Got The LONG COVID
"I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got-a rockin' pneumonia
And-a boogie woogie flu"
Huey 'Piano' Smith - Rockin’ Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu
Well, at least that's what I thought at first.
But then, I have a tendency to misdiagnose myself.
I've always found it much easier to figure out what's wrong with everybody else. It's a gift.
But then I decided to do some exhaustivative research on The Google and I was finally able to nail down what's my problem.
Fortunately, saving me some time, I was able to narrow down the possibilities in my initial research since we all know that everything bad these days is either caused by: Trump, Putin or COVID.
I researcherated each of these and found that my symptoms most closely matched those of "The LONG COVID" or, what we used to mislabel as, "The RONA".
Chronic Fatigue after Physical or Mental Effort,
Fever,
Shortness of Breath,
Cough,
Chest Pain,
Fast-beating Heart,
Difficulty Thinking or Concentrating,
Headache,
Sleep Problems,
Dizziness,
Pins-and-Needles Feelings,
Change in Smell or Taste,
Depression or Anxiety,
Diarrhea,
Stomach Pain,
Joint or Muscle Pain,
Rash,
Malaise,
Runny Nose,
and,
Changes in Menstrual Cycles.
Don't get wrong. I'm not gonna blow smoke and tell you that I have all of these symptoms. Far from it. C'mon man! Let's be honest here.
For example, I haven't seen any signs of a rash.
I'm feeling a little easier now that I know I have a medical condition and I'm not just an angry, miserable, misogynistic, narcissistic &%$hole like my wife says.
Pay no attention to her.
And it explains the following recent happenings over the past 50 years.
"Honey, did you remember to take out the trash?"
"I was gonna but, you know.......My Chronic Fatigue after Mental Effort."
"How about getting it out before the garbage man gets here?"
"I'd like to help you out but as you know.......My Chronic Fatigue after Physical Effort."
and,
"How about we watch something on T.V. tonight that I like for a change?"
"I wish we could dear but you know I have Difficulty Thinking or Concentrating during those romance shows."
and,
"I was thinking of inviting some friends over this weekend. What do you think?"
"I'm not sure dear....you know....with my Malaise and all. Wouldn't want to ruin your get together."
and,
"How did you like the tofu Kung-Pao lasagna with duck liver sushi that I made for dinner tonight?" "I got the recipe on The Google."
"Fantastic! Wonderfully exotic blend of textures and seasonings! And it was prepared and cooked to perfection!" (Change in Smell or Taste ain't always a bad thing).
I always like to look on the bright side of everything. Probably why I'm affectionately called Mr. Sunshine.
No more talk of me being a lay-around, do-nothing, Mr. Grumpy.
After all, it's a medical condition.

I'm so happy because a while ago Bolsonaro (Brazil's facist president who openly supports dictatorship and torture) and his wife Michele got covid so I'm basically living the same hype again today
