What was an unexpected joy last year?

[DJB72]

Waking up from a 3 month coma and being told I'd not only survived covid but that my heart had actually stopped - total flatline so paddles are useless - and instead of calling Time of Death after 20 minutes unresponsive the team kept CPR going two and a half hours to get it beating again and another 90 minutes to stabilise me.

Thanks to the team led by Dr Rubeshan Perumel at Rondebosch Medical Centre in Cape Town I get to watch my son grow up instead of him having to grow up without his daddy.

I can never thank them enough, nor the people praying for me.

I should be dead. Even under a South African government lockdown, Life itself is a Joy.

I was determined to be "essential" so I didn't lose any pay.
I know a lot of people are hurting. One of the many things I learned last year was that shopping local makes a big difference. Screw amazon.

My job. And she is. My friend. The closest to my heart, the furtest from her smile..

I had spinal surgery last summer. Now I am no longer in pain all the time.

Going to the beach and going for a swim in warm weather with no mask. Simply being allowed to not worry about covid in the sun was glorious

Getting a job I really wanted in an area I really wanted to live.

I mean if I’m honest, I thought quarantine would be much harder, but it’s something you eventually get used to.
