Small Town, Big Secrets — Talina Zar E2
I called every taxi service I could think of last eve and drivers don't keep records. I also called our phone carrier to try and trace or track Talena's phone and was told of an app that could do this if the phone was turned on with location services activated. As of this morning, she hasn't called home and her phone still appears to be turned off. Anyone else hears from her, please update me.

So this is my COVID-19 rant and the state of affairs here in rural Oklahoma. Feel free to bypass this post. I just need to rant or I will scream. Maybe I need to do that anyway. When Talena first got a fever of 100.5, we packed up and went to the ER. We expected to be able to get her a test.

A tech met us outside, questioned all of her symptoms, and sent us home without even allowing us to check in. We determined that the healthcare system, at least here in Oklahoma, was not equipped to take care of everyone with viral symptoms. and would only do so if you got bad enough to probably be admitted. In looking back, I think her attitude changed on that car ride home from the ER.

I've known Talena about 15 years, but we've really just become close in the last couple years since her husband died.

There was a festival here in Wagner, Oklahoma, that we both attended 15 years ago, and my husband and I went and met her and her husband then. She had just gotten together with him, and it was actually a big weekend party. So that's how we all got to know each other first. Okay.

Yeah, I think so. I was starting to have problems with my husband and initiated a divorce. And she had lost her husband and really lost an interest in living. And then we were getting to know each other better and better. And it just got to the point where she asked me if I would stay with her because she couldn't be alone. Sure. And then she was having...

I don't think she's ever been diagnosed as bipolar, but she had really up periods and really down periods. And she didn't want to be alone during the very down periods.

The first thing that happened, she gets bad migraines.

And she finished work on a Friday, went to bed early, woke up Saturday morning with a really bad migraine that ended up lasting two days. She pretty much stayed in bed for two days with a migraine. Monday, she's due back at work. And Monday morning, she asked me to come in and take her temperature, which I did. And she was running a 100.5. And so she stayed in bed with her temperature.

I can't remember if we went that day or the next day, but she pretty much kept her temperature at 100, 100.5. So we said we better go down to the hospital. We didn't know what this is. And so we went to the ER at Wagner here. And a tech came out and asked, you know, what symptoms she was having. And we told her that she had a migraine all weekend and now she was spiking the temperature. Sure.

And they said, go home and self-medicate and look for these signs. And he said, if your temperature goes about 101 or you start developing other problems to call back in or come back in. So we went home and she was kind of at that point disheartened or kind of disgusted with things that she couldn't get any help or diagnosis or couldn't even check in.

She developed a really barking cough and sometimes she'd start coughing and couldn't stop coughing.

she was starting to wheeze a little bit and i said you know we do not want you catching pneumonia so i asked her the night before i said let's take you back to the emergency room i think you're bad enough now that they will admit you right and she said no she just wanted to spend the night in her bed with one of the pups

Small Town, Big Secrets — Talina Zar E2
She asked me to go out and do a few things and give her some more time to snuggle with. She's got a little Yorkie that she likes to stay in bed with. And she just wanted to, I don't know what she just wanted to do.
What Happened to Talina Zar
Small Town, Big Secrets — Talina Zar E2
Yeah, she just wanted me to leave her alone for a while. I wish I had never gone and run errands that day.
What Happened to Talina Zar
Small Town, Big Secrets — Talina Zar E2
She always kept a 45 magnetized to the bottom of her bed. Okay. That was gone. And she always kept a 9mm in the car. Okay. And it was gone. She really... She gets into these places where she just... She just wants to expire. And so she doesn't really care. She always says, you know, I've got my DNR orders... I'm not going to let anybody, you know, intubate me or whatever.

And she said, she said, it's a win-win. I get to see Tom sooner. And she talked like that a lot. She'd have good days where she'd be really excited about her job. We'd be planning a trip. And I think this is great. She's got a reason to live. It's all good. And then she'd say, yeah, and the first chance I get, I'm going to check out.

So she'd go really high on her job or a trip, and then she'd get really down and depressed and just not want to be around.

She has not. She's not ever attempted it with me, and I would know.

Talena's always had an end-of-life game plan ever since Tom died. She prepaid her funeral. She planned her own music and the order of songs she was going to do. She told not just me, but I think all of her friends that you would talk to that sooner or later, she was going to go join Tom on her own time.

There's still part of me thinking that maybe someone will just call and say she's sick somewhere. Most of me is saying that when I get that phone call, it's going to be because someone found her. I'm supposed to identify her.
