We used to deliver the medications right to the nurse’s station and now we deliver them to the lobby. We used to deliver in plastic reusable totes and now we deliver in disposable boxes. #covid

I lost about 60 pounds. I was watching the news in April and saw that I was the poster child for Covid. I have to do something about this. I want to be around. #goals
