I'm with you every step of the metaphorical way there. I think the fear is

necessary. If we get to thinking that we are now normies, our comeuppance

may be a bit painful. I don't like being afraid (I'm not quivering with

terror, just wary), but dang it, I have a fatal disease & it WILL get me if

I do not participate in the treatment that is working so well right now.

Know what I mean?
