Geez...My younger son has been compulsive about hand washing for many years, with hot water, running the whole time-what seems like 10-15 minutes! I always yelled at him, but now that I'm being sure about the 20 second rule of contact with rubbing the soap I have to remind myself to shut the water.
I swear I'm going to get a motion sensor faucet soon!
Two people at work due to feeling ill. We found one coworker, who was quite ill with cough and yuck, has a neighbor that's been self quarentined, though not tested
I called to get a dr's appt as I need a new one, the facilities I requested were scheduling new patients out to July! I did get lucky and get an appt April 8 with facility not too far.


Having heard this, i felt incredibly lucky: on Mar.2nd, i attained an appointment to my therapist first, who scheduled an appointment to my neurologist for me on Mar.17th (she also prescripted me one type of my painkillers). Then, on this Tuesday, i visited my 1st neurologist, Mr.Rogozin. He was very kind to me this time,- even his angry assistant (the nurse who always fights with me and with everyone else) was quite calm and she even seemed empathetic (to a certain extent that her ego allows her). He said that for "permanent clients like me", as an exception, he can prescript my main painkillers in a bigger amount than it's allowed (he gave me a paper for 2-months supply). I also told him that i refused to go to the "Institute of Academician Pavlov", because i was supposed to go there on April 28th(!); and besides that it might be simply closed by that time,- it merely might be hazardous to go there. (It would have been an insanity to schedule an appointment to that place, despite that the girl-doctor was very kind to me, and i feel ashamed that i let her down,- therefore, i must call someone and send her my apologies).
My neurologist said that my reasons (to cancel it) were "REASONABLE". After that, i made mom give me her last cash and headed out to another community (by cab, because i'm a swine), where i bought a 60-day supply of Pregabalin. (Previously, i got the last jar of B12 in "Muscle" sports nutrition shop! That was a scary experience - attending "Merchant's court" shopping mall,- and tbh, i have no desire to visit it in the nearest future). Almost all their supplements from the US (esp. from California) are sold out, and there are no new batches. I have no idea where to get B12 when i devour this last jar. I'll probably have to buy something like "Solgar" supplements (that cost like gold,- and that's merely shameless and horrible, because it's a pure scam).
Having seen a cashier in rubber gloves in "Magnet" grocer today, i cringed inside. I saw people staring at her and thinking gloomy thoughts about the perilous future that is awaiting them. Everyone in the line was silent and frustrated (that's how they looked like). Every now and then, i notice, that if people see someone sneezing or coughing, they are making "square eyes" and running away. Russians tend to be extremely neurotic, despite that they want to pretend that they're acting brave and careless. I believe, it's a dangerous mixture.
