My s-i-l left for her home a little bit ago. In some ways I was sad to see her leave. In an other, I was glad to be done entertaining. Tomorrow, some restrictions will be lifted where I live in, though not to the degree as most places in the US. I'm sort of feeling like I don't know what's next, and yet I know some things that should be next.

My husband's best friend, who lives in the US, is extremely sick with covid-19. I'm not sure why he didn't get vaccinated. His wife did, and she's very glad she did. He's been so ill that he's been taken to the ER three times already, but they keep sending him home. He hasn't been able to sleep or eat for several days, and can't even go to the bathroom. His wife says he's lost about 20 lbs. He's normally a very stoic kind of guy, but the last time my husband talked to him, his voice was so weak (different) and he was talking as if he only had a few days left to live, giving my husband instructions for after his possible death. Yesterday that friend sent an email to my husband, written in ALL CAPS, which was quite odd. He was begging my husband to go to NJ to get him and bring him to Czech Republic in order to "get real medical care". [The friend is also a Czech and American.] My husband thinks his friend is so ill that he is becoming delirious. I think that's likely true, given the contrast in his behavior versus his norm. Obviously my husband can't go to him right now. I feel so worried.
