ask not for whom the bell tolls
Jan. 10th, 2022 08:29 pmWell, I got the COVID. Am feeling crummy but manageably crummy. Cough, aches, no fever, I can still taste and smell. We're quarantining at home for five days, this is day five, I feel like I'm coming out the other side of it. If I feel OK tomorrow I'm going back in to work. If not, it's one more vacation day I can burn.
Not quite sure where I got it - we had PCR tests on the 27th and the 29th and they came out negative. I started getting sneezy on Saturday the 1st but my sinuses have been nuts for a while now and I didn't think anything of it. My wife got her booster on the 3rd. She started to feel a little lousy, I was still sneezing, we happened to have two rapid tests thanks to friends in Cincy, so we tested on Thursday AM. She tested negative while I tested positive. Thursday afternoon is when I started feeling legit sick. So far I've been about the same. We really haven't been anywhere except to the grocery store or to walk outdoors. I went to work twice, but I don't work closely with anybody, I work an off shift mostly by myself. So who knows where this came from.
We have plenty of food, the cat has plenty of food, we have plenty to occupy ourselves with. We're just waiting it out.
For me, COVID feels... there's a weird hot ache behind my eyes, and fatigue, and a dry cough. I don't have that "beat with a baseball bat" deep body aches I get with the flu, my digestion and appetite have been fine, even the fatigue isn't too extreme. I have probably gone into work feeling worse. Definitely I felt worse the last time I had a solid case of the flu.
I've had two Moderna shots, the wife has had three Pfizers. I'm sure without those shots we'd be a lot sicker. My advice is to stay away from other people and get all the shots you possibly can get. And then stay further away from other people.
