I've been really worried about dad lately. He tested positive for coronavirus a few days ago, and even though many people recover well, I can't help but feel anxious about his condition. Every time I call to check on him, I notice his voice sounds tired and strained. He says he's managing the symptoms with rest and medication, but I naturally worry.
The hardest part is not being able to be there physically to help take care of him. Mom is doing her best to ensure he's comfortable and taking his medicines on time, but I wish I could do more. I keep reading about COVID-19 cases, which probably isn't helping my anxiety, but I just want to stay informed.
I'm trying to stay positive and remind myself that many people recover completely, especially with proper rest and care. I'm calling him daily and sending him funny messages to keep his spirits up. Still, I'll feel so much better once he's fully recovered. For now, all I can do is pray and be there for him virtually.
