      For those of you who want to know about the REAL Mary Lou Retton. This is a first-hand account of who she really is. I can say this with full confidence, as I am a former friend.
      She is nothing like the smiley-faced, sweet persona she tries to portray. She is a lying, deceitful, self-centered individual with no care of compassion for others. She is the true definition of a user. This is nothing about Mary Lou’s personality that is genuine. I am sure there is not a single fan out there who loves Mary Lou, more than Mary Lou loves herself.
      She is more than happy to continuously talk about her accomplishments, and remind you who she is and what she’s done.
      In all my conversations with her, I can’t remember her ever asking, “How are you”? It all about Mary Lou.
      If you believe she had “Pneumonia”, I have a bridge I would like to sell you. She is an Anti-Vaxxer who refuses to admit the real reason behind her illness.
      For someone who preaches the word of God so much, she would walk the walk instead of lying to everyone she comes in contact with.

    I get the "mom guilt" thing. When my dad died very suddenly, I was the first one to be able to get to the hospital. I knew it was bad, but I wasn't ready to see him unconscious and on life support and it hit me hard. To this day, the 1st image in my mind when I think of him is that and I hate it. So when my mom died years later, it was hard to go in the room, because I did not want that to happen with her memory.

The pandemic is nowhere close to being over, and it kills and disables more people all over the world every single day. I wonder what type of pneumonia she had. I know a few people who developed pulmonary fibrosis, like Mary Lou has, after a covid infection. 500 Americans are dying per week, and it's probably a lot more than that. Because hospitals no longer have to report covid data to the CDC.
