So, I have COVID. Have been at home for 11 days. Stocked the house in advance before my test came back, glad i did. Managed to catch up on all my shows (fck that last season of Scrubs btw) clean out my closets and do a buncha small stuff. Thats all kept me from going nuts. But barely.
Monday will be 14 days since exposure. I only had fever one day; Friday the 4th. Climbed to 100.3 and stopped. Nothing since. Have checked three times daily, nothing. Hasn't been terrible, some coughing, mostly a headache and I cant taste food. I mean I can, but its horribly muted. Like you know you are eating ranch, but its like a fuzzy out of focus TV ranch flavor. Which kinda pisses me off. I can seem to taste Popsicles. So ive eaten like a hundred.
My brother came in from NYC and I cant see him because quarantine. Which REALLY blows.
This is bizarre. I don't have fever, sore throat, stomach issues, anything. If it wasn't for the fact that i get so tired so easy, and my head wont stop intermittently hurting, (almost like a vertigo thing) I honestly wouldn't feel like i was sick at all. Been napping, drinking tons of water mostly. Letting the body do what it does best. No major breathing issues, anything. I wonder if its because im fairly young (okay not that young really) and fairly healthy. I ride my bike 13-15 miles three times or more a week and go to the gym daily. Or did before this.
Eligible to return to work after 10 days, as long as its been three days since fever (check) and symptoms have drastically improved (check). Thats about Tuesday/Wednesday for me. And im ready. I was super careful before, but I have since decided that I will be HYPER vigilant going forward. I dont care if i can get it again or not. I dont wish it on anyone. At all.
Attempted visitors to the house:
- Jehovahs Witnesses - 2
- Census workers - 4 (one, four times they are ufckin relentless)
- Kids peddling things - 2
- Neighbors checking to see if i was dead in here - 1
Not dead. Just felt like it for a bit.
FYI: Museniex NightShift is GOLD. That stuff has helped me breathe and sleep through the night solidly.
