    Is she “ok” now? The last I knew she was completely incapacitated and couldn’t get out of bed. One hell of “long covid” case… :(

      That video is a really hard watch. If you’ve ever been in either of their positions taking care of a family member full time or relying on someone, you know the tremendous amount of love involved in it. Usually you see it as an afterthought, but what was amazing about Destin’s video is seeing it happen in real time.

      I have one of the conditions some doctors suspect is the root cause of long COVID, mast cell activation disorder, and it absolutely sucks ass if it’s uncontrolled. It can make for some amazing naps, but they get old when it’s all you can do.

      I’m fine’ish now, although I guzzle the contents of a small pharmacy every month.

      Her Instagram is kept fairly up to date. She is still confined to a bed, and it sounds like she still requires round-the-clock care. Her partner and family are absolute heroes.
