So I’m feeling that my immune system, with the enormous help of three Pfizer jabs, is now winning the battle against the invader. So do not be afraid – there IS life after Covid! But do be careful… you do not want this, and neither does your family. Thanks for all your great messages – in spite of my pleas for no sympathy! Much appreciated. And yes… I did promise to tell you the story! Bri”
