Nov. 10th, 2023 10:17 amI managed to go this whole time without any of the three of us getting Covid and I caught it from an asshole who went to work sick.
The ONLY place I take off my mask when out (we only go out to doc visits, which has been really inconvenient, but we're careful because of our health issues) is the dentist's office.
While I was on the chair, I heard the dentist off in another room tell a coworker she was "getting over a cold."
I should've left, but she had already been working on me for about 10 minutes and had my braces apart.
Even though the whole office wears masks, it's those shitty paper masks. I wear the N95 into and out of the place, but take it off only when I'm in the room in the chair.
I know people have to make a living, and employers don't let people take time off, but for immunocompromised people who just want to get their fucking teeth taken care of, this totally sucks 😡
It took 2 days for me to notice symptoms, so I had been in the house with 2 other immunocompromised people that whole time.
Not only has my mom got cancer, but she's got that eye issue that she's getting immuneotherapy for, and if she gets sick, she can lose more or possible all of the sight in that eye.
