I am so scared. My grandpa in India (91) got pneumonia but got tested negative for covid, is admitted in hospital right now. My parents, 2 uncles and aunts were in touch with each other and my dad and my uncles are high risk. I don’t know how to deal with this situation and how to calm down :(((. Don’t want to lose anyone like this

Prayers buddy - if it is any consolation my father in law got covid in his mid 70s, and his elder brother in his 80s and they both beat it relatively comfortably.
Survival rate at that age group are still > 80%

I am not a very shallow person — he was already on the heavier side when we met. But when I look at photos from just a year ago, it’s clear he’s put on a lot of weight. I am worried about his health. I don’t want to overstep or make him feel insecure. Just wondering if anyone else has ever been here.

I feel like I’ve been neglecting this bowl. 😔 I’ve been doing keto with 16/8 intermittent fasting for the past month. By the time it hits my eating window, I’m starving and I don’t have time to make instagrammable meals. Like the one below 😄: Eggs and breakfast sausage with Spanish and Buttered cauliflower rice, and a salad. Not very exciting, I know. But what’s exciting is I dropped 15lbs!!! 😁

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.
