It’s such a tough time. My wife and I (both medical) always thought if we could be performing at 70 percent at home and work that was all we could reasonably expect of ourselves.
Hang in there everyone. Be kind to yourself, you are doing amazing!

Happy to help! Think of the fat as a signal that something may be going on but not the actual source of the problem. Similar to seeing water white spots in your tonsils can mean you have strep but if they test and it’s negative they can stop worrying about it
