Summary

Stephanie Dawn Marie Weselek: I am literally behind locked doors unless I am working. I don't leave my bedroom for any reason. I am taking care of Covid positive patients face to face and I have 5 children in our home plus my husband. My front living room is now my husbands makeshift bedroom and I have our room. My bathroom is literally my office space since I am working on another degree (the picture of my bathroom is a day last week when I had to take a test 😂) and I have moved in a blow up couch, mini refrigerator and microwave. I have turned my room into a Very mini sized apartment. I have a super strict routine coming home from work so as not to spread anything from the hospital. A lot of us nurses strip down in our garages before ever entering our homes and immediately throw everything in the washer and then off to immediate showers. Everything id disinfected and I don’t touch anything in the house. Its straight to my room until my next shift. Its what I have to do to keep everyone in my house safe and even then we aren’t sure if all we’re doing is enough
