Masks? Tremors? [View all]

Hello,
My first post here, I guess I’ll give the story briefly and chronologically:
5 years ago my wife and I adopted 3 kids from the foster system. The oldest has serious issues but that’s another story.
3 years ago she was diagnosed with 2 types of breast cancer and Chronic Lymphocyte Leukemia. She had chemo, then her first infection in her chemo port. Then a double mastectomy and her BP fell to 70/OMG get the crash cart. Then infected tissue expanders, replaced with implants, then infected implants, then a fourth infection, she was septic and the infection destroyed her aortic valve. So valve replacement, then her heart was wonky so she went into V-tax twice and had to have a pacemaker/defibrillator implanted. Oh and then one more infection for good measure.
She was recovering and she knew she needed to lose weight and had a gastric bypass, because she had no idea that the cancer would return. So now she is going through chemo again and will have to have surgery and the oncologist is recommending radiation.
So anyway, we are now one of the only folks around still wearing masks. The counties around us have had zero new cases reported, but I’m not sure I believe those numbers as they are climbing on the east coast. So we should stick with it right?
Also she has severe tremors where her jaw moves rapidly side to side, as well as shaking hands and feet. Has anyone heard of anything like this?
