DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Daryl,” gets furious every time I talk to my ex, my two oldest kids’ father. The only thing we discuss is my kids’ issues, but Daryl loses it completely.

The boys were playing in the rushing water when her eight-year-old slipped over the falls, landing on rocks 12 feet below. Dad sprinted down the side of the rocks and splashed out to the youth while families scrambled to their cars to flee any danger rather than stay to render aid.

Dear Doctors: I’m a 38-year-old man, very athletic, and I got really sick with the coronavirus. I didn’t land in the hospital, but it’s been a month and I’m still not 100%. I want to get back to running and lifting weights. Is it safe to exercise after COVID-19?
