Summit county in Ohio's second Covid-19 case

 

This lady was Summit county in Ohio's second Covid-19 case.
In her words .....

 

So for all the non believers and those who are not taking this seriously, if you need to to KNOW someone who has been diagnosed with the covid-19, well if you are reading this you know me. I am Summit County Ohio case#2.
I became sick quickly Wednesday afternoon. I felt run down and feverish. By the time I got home I had a fever of 99.2. I was uncomfortable, headache, and a cough that was heavy but not producing anything. I fell asleep and woke at 3 am. My heart was racing. I had trouble catching my breath and my chest felt tight every time I coughed. I contacted a great nurse I know...she said go in, but call first. I called the ER, told them my symptoms and the had me call a closed Ohio dept of health number. I was clearly in distress so my nurse called them back and said I was coming in. It's a good thing I did. My BP was very low and my heart rate was very high. These are not good signs on top of fever and cough. They admitted me and I was tested for every single other thing and then they ran the covid test.
I am the face of this infection. It is brutal and I'm a healthy 48 year old with no underlying conditions. I'm not 100% better but I'm home resting. Please take this seriously. People you love, their lives may depend on it.
I'm happy to answer any questions in between naps and hydration.
 
*****update...edit
 
My ex was in Germany the week before I became ill. He has no symptoms. My children have no symptoms. Per the Summit County Health Department we are all being monitored. My test was POSITIVE. I was in patient at Ahuja from early Thursday till today. Fluids and pain meds and fever meds were all they could give me. My highest fever was 102.
My son did not go to school from the moment I became ill. Prior to my becoming ill...I was at work and he was at school...because we were not ill and had no reason to suspect we were exposed in any way.
We do NOT know where the exposure came from.

Gary Zukov - Communicate After Death

 From Facebook January 2023

Gary Zukov - Author of .. The Seat of the Soul, speaks
in the words below of his communication with his partner Linda after her passing. ......... 
 VERY POWERFUL about how to communicate. 
 
 
My dear Spiritual Partner,
Since Linda’s soul returned home to nonphysical reality, our nonphysical Teachers have patiently mentored me toward an ability to co-create with her. For example,
"You are like a man who has just been given sight trying to determine what your new experiences are, and how they can be helpful or useful.
Imagine a seed, still small, still within the Earth, that carries in it a potential that is far beyond what can yet be seen or guessed. That is where you are.
 
Your communications with Linda will deepen into a more meaningful and substantive form and content. Do not think that you can imagine what lies before you or the joy and fulfillment of it."
and  "You can speak with Linda now, although those experiences will be replaced with others that are more satisfying to you." 

I asked our Teacher, When will this begin?
 
"When you begin to relax into your life and enjoy it."
 
That is what I can’t do while I am missing Linda! I said in frustration.
"That is the point."
 
Then I should forget missing Linda and just “enjoy myself”? I asked rhetorically.
 
"Yes, however, that does not mean forgetting Linda. You will never do that. It means letting go of the illusory experiences of safety and comfort that frightened parts of your personality associate with Linda’s physical presence."
 
This answer jolted and confused me. 
 
How could forgetting missing Linda help me co-create with Linda? 
 
Yet I realized that I did feel more safe and comfortable while Linda was with me in the Earth school, and vulnerable, lost, and alone after her soul left it. 
 
If forgetting missing Linda was necessary to co-create with her, I decided with all my will to forget missing Linda, although I had no idea how to do that, and it did not feel possible.
 
Beloved, I told her, I am going to forget missing you. 
 
To my relief and great surprise she said: 
 
At last.
 
Is that OK with you? I needed to know that I heard correctly.
 
It is more than OK. It is fulfilling. It is thrilling. Your love will bloom. It will be everywhere. We will co-create in joy. There is no need for missing me. That serves no purpose. We have things to do, and all of them are joyful. 
 
Begin now, my Beloved. Enjoy not missing me. Enjoy it. Relish it. Savor it. Bask in it. Bask in not needing anything but love, but our Teachers, but your soul, but your ability to create authentic power.
 
I will join you. That is where we will join, not when. 
 
Your joy comes not with our love. Our love is. It always will be.
Joy comes from recognizing that. It comes in knowing that. Our love is constant, like the sun in the Earth school. It is always there. Clouds obscure it. Fear obscures it, and you miss the incarnation that I was. Let them scatter. Scatter them with your joy, with your experience of our love, with what it actually is – much more, bigger, fuller, deeper than we imagined, but we felt it, didn’t we?
Allow yourself to feel it now. Now. Now. Forget about missing me. Forget about it forever, because I am here with you forever.
 
Have you ever felt that something important for you to do was impossible when a thought, or a word in a book, or a conversation opened a new vista for you, and what seemed impossible became attractive, exiting, and fulfilling?
The Universe gave you an experience of grace. It provided exactly what you needed to transform an experience of a frightened part of your personality (fear and doubt) into an experience of a loving part of your personality (love and trust).

Nonno's Serivce Flag

Nonno's Serivce Flag

Back in May of 2009 the house Vince was living at in Texas caught fire.

The structure was a total loss.    Thank GOD that Vinny his dog Drake

and his roommate's dog all got out safely. 

 

Had it not been for the neighbors who came pounding on the door alerting

Vince to the fire, the outcome could have been way different.  

I bless those unknown folks so very often. !!!!

 

In the home was the service flag that Vince's grandmother,

Grandma Dotty gave him after his grandfather Mario's funeral in 2004.

Nonno, as the kids call him in Italian, served in the Navy during WW11.

He was a medic attached to a Marine unit.  

 

I do believe that God, and Nonno were watching over Vinny that day.

The flag was spared any damage at all........ WHAT A MIRACLE !!!!!

 

It was in this same flag case and there it was totally fine. !!!

 

Vince brought the flag to Ohio last October.   It stayed at his Dad

Mark's house for the year.    Today I took this photo of it to share.

Vinny will soon be packing it up for his trip tomorrow out to his

new base in Colorado.  

 

Even though technically he was my ex father-in-law, Nonno was and will

always be so special in my heart.  

 

Thank you Nonno for watching over YOUR Vincent Bruno ... your only

grandson.    Please continue to stay near him. 

 

With Love,

Deb - FACEBOOK Notes October 2010

All is Well

 

All is Well

By Henry Scott-Holland (1847-1918)

All is well.
Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.

Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you,
and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.

All is well.
