Good News: Masked Woman did not pass away today!
By: Masked Man Date: October 18, 2025, 7:17 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Masked man’s loved one was having some chest pains so we went to
local hospital
Good news: hospital ran tests and no signs of heart attack.
(might be some gull bladder stones starting to form up high
which is common but that is no big deal if they become a problem
that can treated medically)
It also noteworthy to mention the staff and doctors were all
mask compliant upon our request for them to mask. While I’m
unsure of any mandate or policy in regards to masking at
Watauga County Hospital Boone, NC, i did tell a receptionist and
a nurse I considered the patient to be immunocompromised and she
is 77 years of age. Then I simply told staff politely yet firmly
who did not have a mask on and who were entering our personal
space that “we prefer you to mask for us if that is possible"
and each staff member who wasn’t masked put their mask on when
approaching me and my loved one who remained masked.
I commend staff for honoring our personal request to mask for
us. The doctor informed me that he masks anyway because he
doesn’t want to bring anything home to his new daughter.
Regardless of your healthcare or hospital's mandate on masks, I
highly encourage patients to speak up and request to doctors and
staff that you prefer they mask for you. Take charge of your
health!you are the patient! and you are the customer! You have a
voice and many hospitals and healthcare will comply to your
request! Empower one another by requesting masks.. you may be
pleasantly surprised that they often comply!
My loved one and I are safe back at home again and because we
masked I feel safer that we didn't catch any illnesses while we
were treated there at the hospital because of the mask
precautions we took and the staff took for us.
Best Wishes,
The Masked Man
P.S. By the way, I could hear in the distance two staff members
who were coughing in the background. One was coughing somewhat
roughly. None of the staff or doctors that treated us directly
showed signs of coughing. Maybe one was sniffling a little. But
just down the hall I could tell that it was a staff member
coughing throughout the hours just around corner from us and he
sounded sick to me like a painful cough. But again all those
directly before did mask for us and we were masked as well.
There was nobody in the waiting room.
Of course when we get home I treat clothes as if they are
infected and throw them in wash and we shower.
Also, I didn't notice any significant air purifiers in our room
and I very much doubt there was some sort of ventilation system
in the ceiling at least I didn't see or hear one.

So sorry to hear that your loved one had to go to the hospital.
I hope she is getting better. Glad to hear that the hospital was
able to mask for you.

Thank you Data Report! She is great.. because of the chest pains
we just had to be responsible and get it checked out and the
tests at hospital indicated no heart attack or heart problems.
Some of the tests indicated potential gull bladder stones which
might require surgery down the road so all is well and we should
be going for our masked walk this evening. We are very pleased
having been responsible we ruled out serious problems and at
same time took precautions to reduce the probability of getting
sick from the hospital visit itself by masking.
I will add because I utilize the mask regularly in my life, I am
well trained in the mask that it was easy for me to follow
hygiene measures and health protocols so masking was quite easy
for us when rushing and in the heat of moment getting her to
hospital and protecting her at same time from serious viruses.
Practice makes perfect and masking is a great skill and
privilege to have in life to use in common day activities to
simply be safer as well as when entering grounds where safety
from viruses is jeopardized. No one wants to get sick from a
hospital while they are taking tests to make sure they are okay
to prevent prospective health issues!
The mask is a great tool indeed as it simply frees me from great
deal of worrying and wondering. Life is hard enough but because
we are so good at masking I may have saved myself and my loved
one from a needless fatal bout of pneumonia, influenza, etc. To
me protecting us in a safety mask has become second nature. It's
awesome brother and sisters to simply be and feel safer... now
my loved one and I are free to go for a masked walk, to dance in
our living room and play musical instruments and study stuff
online!
It is beautiful day for us,
Best wishes,
The Masked Man
I want to emphasize and share to readers that masking is indeed
a skill. It is a skill to master. It is often not just enough to
throw on a mask and have instant comfort and success .. it
might fog your glasses up, your face might itch, it might slip
off your nose.(One of the nurses mask kept slipping off his
nose.. totally unprofessional and ridiculous to see a nurses
nostrils pointing out over his patient) ..ultimately you want to
practice using your mask in private and working those kinks out
privately in practice. Someone new to masking might have to face
and overcome claustrophobic phobias while first masking. You
might be required to lift fifty lbs. while wearing mask or
helping somebody into a wheelchair while masked or simply be
able to read a book for several hours in a mask while remaining
calm.. can you do it!? I can and it becomes comfortable because
of repetition and habit therefore I call it a skill. Its a
similar skill just like martial arts that requires a certain
practice and rehearsal to master so that it is effective and
natural feeling. As with any habit once the habit and skills of
masking is formed it becomes comfortable and feels good to do
and even feels natural.
My loved one was trained to wear that mask already. We went for
daily walks in the mask. She wears that N95 mask while tackling
dusty projects or cleaning things that might be moldy or if she
is around things that cause allergies. We have a backdoor porch
full of feral cats and some plants we enjoy and she always masks
when enjoying these somewhat risky yet fulfilling activities...
therefore I am proud to say she was quite comfortable and it was
second nature for her to mask for our little hospital trip.

Compare my story to those athletes in Data Reports sports
Illness Threads (There are many who are playing despite being
ill and many apparently not being diagnosed or determining their
illnesses for goodness sake):
LINK:
HTML https://www.datareport.inf
o/2025-tracking-threads/2025-us-sports-illness-thread/
& also here LINK:
HTML https://www.datareport.inf
o/2025-tracking-threads/2025-international-sports-illness-thread
/msg4333/?topicseen#new
Note all the undiagnosed undisclosed illness cases amongst the
athletes. If I behaved like those athletes and didn't seek
medical attention for my loved one, you would think I should go
to jail for having denied medical treatment to my loved one.
What happen to us is my loved appeared to have great anxiety and
little chest pains. Maybe it was the spicy shrimp creole we ate
or maybe it was some pain medicine that she normally doesn't
take that evening that triggered her discomfort but why take
chances!? Let's be realistic ...DON"T TAKE UNNECESSARY RISKS OR
CHANCES ... it was high time to seek medical attention.. like
right away!! I love her!
I couldn't play know it all when it comes to a loved one being
uncomfortable with symptoms of illness and we did the right
thing by promptly seeking medical attention in our masks to
avoid further illnesses and complications that could arise from
catching an airborne illness/virus at hospital while we were
there. Look at wonderful results:
We found out my loved one is okay.
We ruled out that she was not having any immediate life
threatening conditions such as heart problems
We found out from tests she might have prospective problems with
gall bladder stones or kidney stones which is a great thing to
know for the future
We came home knowing we can participate in walking (exercise)
with no fear of it killing her.
Compare this to all the unknown scary illnesses as of yet
diagnosis' for all that athletes who are ignoring what is
inherently good for us such as knowledge of what ails them and
who have no idea what illness they are sporting with. Ignoring
or pushing blindly through symptoms of an unknown illness is no
way to live. With real medical attention and care much of this
useless suffering that ill athletes are subjecting one another
to in the face of acting macho might even be easily
preventable. Imagine the monstrosity, if I treated my loved one
that way and simply told you all she is suffering from an
'illness' but that we will push through those chest pains and
that he ache and walk competitively anyway tomorrow! That's
exactly the way we treat these athletes who are complaining or
bragging about their symptoms and undisclosed undiagnosed
illnesses.
Think about it: Many retirement homes, airports ,schools
participate in disclosing warning information to the public when
they know the public was exposed to a case of measles, or
tuberculoses on their grounds in order to reduce outbreaks...
the entire airport or school warns the public of an exposure
meanwhile athlete after athlete simply states they have an
"illness" with no regard or fair warning to those they may have
been in contact with that week. Talk about playing dumb.. stop
playing until you figure out what ya got.. then report what you
got to others so others know what to look for. Half the battle
in treating something properly is knowing what it is and so its
simply mean to hide it from others you had contact with. A sick
person might go the doctors and be a day too late in wondering
what particular contagious disease or illness they have because
the athlete that gave it to them is hiding his or her illness.
People,
If someone you love is hurting be responsible, seek medical
attention and make efforts to find out what is wrong and take
precautions such as masking to prevent further problems while
determining illness.
If I treated my loved one like these athletes who keep playing
while sporting an undiagnosed or undisclosed illness they'd put
me in prison and rightly so for refusing to seek medical
attention to one who needs it! We as a society attempt to help
people who are in need of medical care or unable to care for
themselves or if we are suicidal. I don't see why we let
athletes endanger themselves and others.
That being said, it is equally offensive that many doctors,
nurses, staff, patients don't take precautions such as masking
and other preventative measures to protect one another, their
patients from exchanging airborne illnesses and viruses while
these patients are seeking medical attention. Many of us who
need medical attention are rightly afraid to because we are
afraid to get sick at the very place we seek medical treatment
and attention from.
The n95 mask is an indispensable tool that has been
scientifically proven to help prevent airborne illness and
viruses, Use it!
The Masked Man
P.S. Our masked doctor and masked nurse had my masked love one
hooked up to a machine that checks for heart attacks and
monitors vital signs, blood pressure, oxygen saturation
constantly for like four hours straight. Not once did the doctor
tell my loved one to take off her mask and that machine would
have told us if she wasn't getting enough oxygen or if the mask
was impeding her health in any way. She's 77 and didn't whine
about her mask so there's absolutely no excuse for people to say
they can't breathe through a properly fitted n95 mask especially
an athlete or healthcare worker.
We have to seek medical treatment again someday so there needs
to be an agreement and a mandate for all doctors to mask or
rather all doctors, nurses, and staff who boast of treating the
human condition should follow the scientific data and wear masks
.. we probably just got lucky that particular doctor who ran
tests on us last night wears masks. I commended him for masking
and you know what his reply was? It was "I mask because I have a
newborn daughter and I don't want to bring any of that stuff
home to her".
I certainly haven't even had a doctor checkup nor do I go to
hospital unless I think I'm dying since nobody masks in the
waiting rooms and my loved one's cousin got covid during his
hospital stay(caught covid while in the hospital) and passed
away from covid complications. I'm not a dumb animal that is
going to risk catching an airborne illness from those that don't
make efforts to prevent airborne illnesses. Unless I absolutely
have to, Even though I mask I'm not likely going to enter a
place that is supposed to treat illnesses and has ill people
routinely frequent their facility that doesn't do squat to
prevent the spread of illnesses amongst their staff and
clientele. Like I said I'm not deaf I heard some hospital staff
worker down the hall coughing his head off for four hours
straight while me and loved one were in masks in a room hooked
up to something that monitor her health and monitoring for heart
attacks. I have no way of knowing if that obviously sick staff
worker came into our room or infected those that work around
him. Usually that is how people get sick.. someone is sick they
don't go home and cough and make others sick. It doesn't take a
brain surgeon to figure that out.
When I do have to go to these places I make people wear masks
around me and my loved ones because we are wearing masks. I tell
the nurses that don't have a mask : "We prefer you wear a mask
for us" So far they comply because I won't let them near my
masked loved one if they don't mask up. I"ll get my loved one
outta there if they don't mask up. As genuine caretaker, I in my
mask will become a physical barrier between me and my masked
love one if they don't mask. Her regular doctor(whom according
to nurse has actually lost a lot of elderly patients to covid)
refused to see us because he refuses to mask so we found a
doctor that does mask. Ive also got a spray bottle of rubbing
alcohol. I keep in my jacket pocket constantly spraying our
hands and to clean the chairs we sit in. You want something done
right you gotta do it yourself.

Update/
Follow-Up:
We just returned form a local doctor routine yearly exam/
checkup.
Everything looks good!
We've been masking publicly since 2020, My loved one is 77 soon
to be 78 years old and hasn't had a single airborne illness
since 2020.
It's not "knock on wood", nor is it by mere luck or chance that
we have been this healthy.... Its because of our masks and the
preventative measures we take.
A Mask point to ponder:
The mask will never brag about how many times it has saved your
life.. it just saves lives and hardship unbeknownst to you or
me.
There was one person today coughing painfully in the doctor's
waiting room. For all I know it was covid or pneumonia. My uncle
passed away from pneumonia recently. Why sugar coat it..
illnesses causes great suffering, disability and it's fair to
say illness can murder. It would equally be true to say
pneumonia killed my uncle and that pneumonia murdered my uncle.
Because me and my loved one masked today we may have dodged an
airborne illness that would have taken out my life or her life
at 77 years of age or any age for that matter.
We were masked and so that also empowered and definitely gives
us the right to tell the nurses we prefer they mask. I did just
that. To the nurses that were to work directly with my masked
love one I went up to them personally directly beforehand and
said "We prefer you wear a mask for us" and so those that
weren't masked did mask for us before touching my loved one.
They were masked so therefore they didn't get in her face and
simply give her anything in the asymptomatic stage insofar as
airborne illness goes.
Besides wearing our masks and besides simply lowering my voice
and telling a maskless nurse or two that is about to have
contact with us that "we prefer you wear mask for us, if that is
alright"..or We prefer you wear a mask for her/us if that is
possible", I tell it to whoever approaches her and they always
turn away and slip their mask on instantly.. so far they never
object they always seem to get a mask on real quick..
...Every now and again Ive had to ask a few nurses or attendants
on other occasions sometimes more than once and they always end
up masking when I repeat the request..sometimes Ive had to say "
"we prefer you wear mask for us, if that is alright, now Thank
you"..or We prefer you wear a mask for her/us Now.. thank you ""
I prefer you put on a mask now" .. and so far they put one one.
I always just use the words my/her/our preference with great
results. They usually never try to talk their way out of wearing
one and if they did I would probably just ignore it and repeat
myself "we prefer you mask before letting them proceed. I
wouldn't let them take blood or anything without that mask on
their face. They probably sense that and they put their mask on.
Regardless I never let anyone touch her or breathe on her or
guide her directly without them wearing a mask simply because
that's what I believe in and we are wearing our masks so they
should do as we are and first and foremost because #1 only thing
that counts is what we want and ask for... "we prefer them to
wear masks."
I also tell whoever worked with us masked as they leave the room
is to make sure the nest person is "masked for us" I just say
it: "Make sure the next person coming in is masked for
us"...This just reinforces the notion I appreciate the masking
and also gives the masked nurse or whoever I am talking to to
make sure the doctor or whoever really has their mask on.That's
just an extra thing that just makes me feel better to reinforce
masking... a nice reminder to other I want them masked so I
don't have to tell them my preferences directly.
Because we masked we were able to stick our dirty clothes in the
wash before unmasking and were able to wash our bodies and hair
before touching our faces which have air holes and membranes
that carry microscopic entities into our system.
For all I know, the mask saved our lives today! The mask is an
unsung hero so to speak. You never know how close to death we
may have come today for it weren't for our mask wearing at that
doctor's office!
Anyway the mask will never get the credit it deserves because it
doesn't tell you it saved you from a pesky virus or not.. it
just does its job to prevent airborne illness and prevents you
from breathing in microscopic entities and particles. I'm sure
If a mask could talk it would tell you it saved your hide and
your life when it did.
By wearing masks and not catching any airborne illness
whatsoever such as a cold, the flu, covid, etc for about 6 years
now, who knows how many good years we have actually added onto
our lives!
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link... An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure which is why I mask,
The Masked Man
P.S.
Not only did we mask at the doctor's office, we also climbed a
few flights of steps rather than taking the stuffy elevator! We
masked crusaders are obviously in better shape than the unmasked
ones who take elevator.
My attitude is there's a good chance our masks saved our lives
today. I live believing that after all there was somebody in
that waiting room painfully coughing their poor aching head off.
I sleep better at night knowing my loved one and I were masked
and likely didn't breathe in whatever that person was suffering
with. Who knows what our mask saved us from! I'm just grateful
we are maskers.. that's for sure!

Update on Masked Woman's health status..
.. the results and proofs are in.. from snail mail, we just
received the results from lab tests from doctor's office;
Masked woman has "slightly elevated creatinine level and a
slightly depressed eGFR. She is to avoid NSAIDS (ibuprofen,
naproxen, diclofenac, meloxicam, Celebrex, etc.) and make sure
she drinks plenty of water throughout the day. Otherwise there
is no need for changes to current management."
.. all that's good news! Not bad for a 77 year old. I have
encouraged her to wear a mask since beginning of pandemic in
2020. She masks when she briefly goes outside and we mask for
public walks and mask for any public encounters we might be
forced to have.
Evidently the mask and our protective way of life hasn't done us
any harm and we have avoided any covid or airborne illnesses
since 2020 because of our masking and protective way of life.
The mask hasn't appeared to have any negative consequences for
my loved one and mine and only seems to provide for a more
quality of life possibly adding years onto our life.
I'd like to know How many 77 year olds do you know that haven't
caught a single airborne illness in 6 years straight? I think a
person that is 77 year old or any age for that matter is
healthier for having masked and not having caught any airborne
illnesses! Anyway the results of Masked woman's relative good
health lab results indicate the masking publicly and outdoors is
a good thing especially considering all the things she hasn't
wrong with her.
All I know is Masked woman is relatively healthy. We wear masks
and avoid public exposure and catching contagious illnesses for
6 years of vital health success thus far. I gotta give the mask
the credit! We are better off for having worn our masks! It's
worth it!
The Masked Man
P.S. We just bought a container/vase perfect for water storage
to monitor she drinks enough water throughout the day. We shall
keep it in fridge and we shall make sure she gets enough water
and stays nice and hydrated.
Now we avoid NSAID's.. we might go the extra mile and reduce our
meats and eat more plant based diet instead... I need to do all
that anyway so I'm game! I'll adopt these new healthier diet
habits as well!
Insofar as some of our exercise we shall walk more frequently
but earlier in the day. We always walk masked but I still can't
barely stand walking by the maskless so we are even less likely
to walk past the maskless 'days are numbered' mortals by walking
earlier in the day. Personally I just can't stand maskless
people and so be it. It is to my benefit I avoid the maskless.
The maskless just don't have that it takes to impress me and
aren't worth my time.
... gosh just think if she hadn't masked and caught covid or
anything!? Her health probably wouldn't be as good if she
hadn't masked and instead had caught a bout or two of covid from
frivolous encounters with good for nothing maskless neighbors,
so-called maskless friends, disrespectful maskless relatives.
maskless handyman, or maskless church related events ...had she
caught any airborne illnesses over the past six years, she might
not even be here with me. I certainly wouldn't want to leave
that up to chance. I declare this with raw sincerity: Thank you
mask for saving our 'efffin lives!
Also, apparently our masks worked and we didn't get sick from
the doctor's visit itself to get the lab test done in the
doctor's office which included a maskless lady coughing
painfully in the waiting room. One of my biggest concerns and
most rational justified fears is simply catching an illness from
sick people while getting a routine checkup or while taking a
lab test in a healthcare facility. We wore masks and I made
sure personally and successfully directed all doctors and nurses
approaching us directly and to hose entering into our room to
also wear masks. Obviously our masks worked as we didn't get
sick it being a week or so later of no illness since our doctor
visit.
Lemme tell ya something people, you don't wanna take chances
right now with anything... if you have to go somewhere be safe
and smart by wearing well-fitting N95 masks like us! Trust me.
Tonight Masked Man and Masked woman celebrate our health by
resuming our online dance lessons from 375 Dance Studio LINK:

Just got back from the regular MD consisting of a consultation
with my loved one and MD so that she can get a referral for gall
bladder surgery.
Lemme tell ya man .. one receptionist had a mask on and that was
all I saw of masked people. None of the people going there for
checkup or who were ill were masking.. that's for sure. To me
It's nasty. It disgusts me. Defend yourselves and mask up! duh!
Especially around sick people and when caring for sick people!
We were masked of course and then I just said in the most timid
meek nicest voice as possible "We prefer you wear a mask.. if
that's okay!?" I have a real deep voice so I toned it down so it
felt like I was almost begging. The nurse agreed and stuck her
mask on .... we were in a super stuffy room..
Right after the nurse took some vitals and was leaving I made
another official request to have her tell the doctor to mask
before he entered and she did..
...whew ...The doctor actually put a mask on even though he
didn't have one on in the hallway ... I sprayed the place with
91 percent rubbing alcohol when nobody was looking ...
...I literally stood by and blocked the door ready to square up
with anybody that even tried to enter our room maskless. I was
literally going to stick my masked face into their maskless face
and simply repeat "we prefer you mask" over and over no matter
what until they obeyed.
In my perspective , as the ever faithful Masked Man who hasn't
had a single airborne illness since 2020 because of masking
thinks: These unmasked people at medical facilities are crazy!
People just don't have any respect for viruses. Its nuts ... its
a microscopic entity and you just know people spread viruses in
these medical facilities ...
I'm home now everything went into wash... took mask off right
before showering ... sprayed everything like shoes and every
object that was there with rubbing alcohol...
This was a terrifying day to little old masked man...Its
terrifying to someone like me that doesn't take chances with
getting sick or making my 77 year old loved one sick. Today I
faced or rather masked for my worst enemy" a place where sick
maskless people gather... A medical facility!
I guess soon she has to have surgery and that's got me nervous
too because her cousin got covid during his stay at a hospital
and then passed away from covid complications. So I'll tell the
surgeon all about my rational fears and how I want everybody
masked and I'll have to guard her and myself.
I'm not wimpy.. I'm tough.. I can bicycle 7 miles straight in a
mask, I lift some weights, I can work a little on a roof (I do
it masked).. Ive stared down some mean dogs in my time even had
guys flashing knives at me in my life but I just weigh the odds
and simply know I'm no match for microscopic entities such
viruses..That's the one thing I can't beat... viruses kick my
butt! When I get sick I'm beat and whipped. For me viruses
always win. When I used to go unmasked and get sick I always
prayed for it to be over. I hate long term suffering that
getting sick brings.
I just never underestimate or belittle the true nature of
insidious airborne illnesses , airborne viruses, and airborne
diseases! They are so small and sticky .. you can't see 'em and
they will torture you, give ya long term health problems and
kill people too. I can't stand a fever I can't stand a headache
or an ear infection etc. A virus is torture incarnate!
Anyway message to readers is to stand up for your masks and
don't be afraid to tell an unmasked nurse or unmasked doctor you
"prefer" they wear a mask!,
The Masked Man
P.S. We probably are fine from today's Doctor's (we wore N95
masks during visit and kept masks on way home in car (incase of
surface contamination on our clothes or from our hair was
infectious) and then we threw clothes in wash and took showers
but ya never know for sure because of surface contamination and
you just never know if you don't happen to be carrying an
electron microscope with ya.
If you are a caretaker and you love yourself and you love who
you are bringing into a medical facility, you keep you masks on
and stand up for yourselves and make medical professionals who
come up to you mask for you! Don't be wimpy about it! That's
your life brothers and sisters! Mask up!
That nurse and that doctor didn't have any masks on till I
voiced my preferences and requests several times! You masked
people out there make your voice heard make your preferences
known, set your personal boundaries, and make those nurses and
doctors mask before they get in your masked face or touch ya!
Don't let 'em breathe on ya!

Just got back from a pre-surgery appointment for Masked Woman
who is probably to have Gall Bladder removed.
Nurse was nice and put on a mask for us when I said "we prefer
you put a mask on if that is alright" and she complied and had
the doctor also put on a mask when he came in for us.
I'm still terrified doctors simply think covid isn't as bad
nowadays.. they simply write it off as not as dangerous .. I say
"I still worry about the long term repercussions of a novel
disease such as covid" and the doctor gets real silent when I
said that. There's no reply to that concern of mine They are
specialists they are not necessarily virologists .. Long covid
is super serious ..it just irks me when doctors underestimate
the impact these diseases can have I certainly am not going to
take my mask off I don't want covid no matter what anybody says.
Ive gone this long without covid.. I'll keep masking..'F'
catching covid or anything at this point! I developed my masking
skills to a tee the last 6 years so I'm going to keep using
them!
I'm telling you virus's are like the Achilles heel for many of
us at any age.. A virus can simply be one more nail in the
coffin to some of us. Besides even if it doesn't kill me viruses
are frickin' uncomfortable! I hate being tortured by any illness
whatsoever! All this is because I have been masking and realize
how great it is having not gotten even a minor routine cold..
its so sweet.. I'm telling masking is sweet!
I'm glad the doctor masked for us after I requested them too
but the nurse and doctor didn't wash their hands in front of me
(there's soap right there hanging on the wall) and there aint
nobody cleaning the seats.. Still I feel safer because the
doctor and nurse couldn't breathe directly on my loved one as
much through their mask.. it just seems safer that all of us
were masking since we were somewhat closer to one another.
It still never ceases to amaze me the lack of interest doctors
have when I tell them my loved one and I have been masking for
6 years and haven't caught a single airborne virus!... Ive never
had a doctor once say "That's amazing!" or "good Job!" .. its
just weird their lack of interest in the fact I am a healthy
specimen and have been healthy for that long a time.. 6 years of
not even a cold is simply something to Bragg about to a doctor..
they never pat me on the back or tell my loved one how special I
am or that I am a good protector!
I feel like I am a better doctor and more of an expert than the
doctor that stands before me! because I am so healthy and bet
you anything they've gotten sick within the timespan of six
years. It just feels really strange being healthier than those
who are supposed to be experts on the matter...lol..I guess
that's why I have to tell them to put on a mask for me! Its
totally screwed up and backwards that essentially I am more
successful than a doctor is at fighting virus's because I am a
masker and they aren't!. Its actually pathetic. Doctors and
those in healthcare should learn from my success and mask up for
their profession everyday.. that's all there is to it. They need
to automatically mask for their patients! Doctors need to
mandate this into their own code of ethics and work it in that
Hippocratic oath they took about promising to always prevent
illnesses by all possible means. Doctors and nurses need to to
more not less they need to take the extra mile and Take extra
precautions because one can take extra probations.. put the
'extra' in the 'extra' and do the 'EXTRA' because its possible..
not do less (Doctors also need to read up on the latest long
covid studies as well even if that isn't their specialty). Take
precautions like masking for viruses because it's easy and it
helps and never hurts to do the extra. They need to mask because
it never hurts and it only helps. Things that only help are
good... and doctors need to do good things...right?. its just
common sense.
...I haven't been sick because of my precautions and masking in
6 whole years.. not a single contagions airborne illness... I'm
the perfect specimen .. my loved one also hasn't been sick in 6
whole years. I'm glad for that. I'm not afraid to be me and to
live a masked way of life. I don't like the same things a lot of
other people seem like anyway..I'm glad I'm different ..I say
its paid off having an incredible skill like masking has done me
nothing but good! I don't miss waiting in lines or shopping or
eating out .. I love my life as it is now.
whew, I feel like we were safe enough today with our masks..
still there's old people in waiting room one with a little
cough... but we sat in our masks far away and washed everything
when we got home. The next appointment should be okay
.. I guess I'll be masking up at home for awhile directly after
her gall bladder surgery just to be on the safe side for myself.
That's my big fear and genuine concern she gets sick in a
hospital setting with some virus from a maskless staff person.
The surgery is porobally in January which hopefully flu season
will be over. Once again there's no masking mandate and once
they take my loved one away I can't be certain all people will
mask to be on the safe side. I am the one that makes sure my
loved one has mask on. Its terrifying to me. That will be a
scary day as surgery is scary enough. Again I worry less about
the surgery as I do her getting a virus . She's 77 soon to be
78.. people should take all precautions!
I'm not an extremest. I'm 55 and Ive tested this masked way of
life for six years now.. I do better masked! I actually like
not catching viruses after six years of playing it safe. I don't
miss be around maskless people whatsoever. I am completely happy
at home performing music or studying online or being with my
pets. I love being safe. I don't miss even that occasional cold
or ear infection I would get once a year or so.
I Gotta tell ya Society stinks! There's nothing meaningful for
me in frivolous encounters with the maskless. They are but
passerby's They aren't safe and don't protect themselves. I find
meaningfulness at home online where one can truly be free to
focus or use the intellect on safer grounds or be creative in
front of the computer or a good book or anywhere safe in the
den. There's nothing very satisfying or fulfilling for me being
out and about. It's just a rat race of activities that people
have to 'get done'..there's nothing intellectual or particularly
artistic to be gained out in a public place for me. I never go
out unless I have to like going to doctors for a loved one's
Gall bladder...
...I have spoiled myself not getting sick whatsoever in the last
six years because of Masking and I plan on continuing to stay
safe because it was well worth masking to me . Its been six
beautiful healthy years because of my way of precautions and my
masked way of life. I don't miss a single thing others would
conceive of as being 'normal". I am far better off being more
independent and safer than I used to be pre pandemic days ...
...I'm definitely the Masked Man forever.. happy and proud of my
somewhat independent Masked way of life! :)

Thank you Steve.
I admit I must have gone to the bathroom a million times this
morning and can barely eat not to mention didn't get a wink of
sleep before the appointment. I have more concerns than she
does!
It is a very common procedure so it will likely be very
successful.. she probably won't even have to stay overnight.
Still its nerve-racking for little old me.
Thanks for for your concern it means a lot to me to be able to
share my feelings online with everybody here.
It keeps me focused and feels healthy to simply write freely how
I feel and what my thought process' are as I learn new things,
meet challenges and observe events.
Have a great day brother! :)
The Masked Man
P.S. So the doctor masked for me.. his mask didn't slip under
his nose completely but still its super hard to focus because
his mask just kept slowly riding down his nose... no matter how
hard I concentrate it just comes back to "How low is it gonna
go" until he finally pushes his mask back up so I can
concentrate again on what he is saying. Its just nerve-wracking
being around a mask that keeps slipping on a doctor's nose :o .
Gawd, it's good to be back home. There's nothing like taking a
crash course in how Gall Bladders work while same time being
acutely aware of nose slippage of Doctor's Mask.. ya just feel
like helping him with his mask ...Oh and earlier when the nice
nurse went to put a mask on for us she got two out of the box
that didn't work until finally there was nothing wrong with the
third mask. At least they masked and at least the the car
started so I could get back home! lol
