RFYL Episode – ReverseGravityEP118
Honestly, I’m still stuck in the same boat I have been for the past few weeks. No change really, medically, still losing my voice after talking for more than ten minutes. Can’t walk without getting dizzy, not able to work, and only really able to track time by somehow putting these shows together.
So that’s what this is, another reminder that it’s been another week. I’m going to get better in time, it’s just taking way longer than it should.
Enjoy some music! And try not to forget about the second wave.
