The House of Plague Redux...
May. 6th, 2022 02:33 pmTested positive for COVID this morning. It's definitely COVID this go around, no doubt in my mind. First of my immediate family to get definite positive test results. (But also the one most likely to get it - I live in the city and work out of a major international transportation hub.)
Crazy company gave me COVID, nifty. That was nice of them, don't you think?
(Although seriously it could have been anyone on the subways or trains at this point.)
( the story for those interested )
Well that was fun. How am I feeling? It feels like the same thing I had in December to be honest. Scratchy throat. Post Nasal Dip. Dull headache. Runny nose. Runny eyes. Fatigue (very tired). Throat is scratchy. No appetite. Brain fog. And an overall feeling of sluggishness. No voice. Congested. Basic upper respiratory bug or bad head cold. I'm sitting in my armchair, in joggers, comfy t-shirt, under a blanket with my uggs fuzzy flip flops on. (My father gave them to me Xmas of 2020, when he was still more or less cognitively aware.)
I ache, but I was aching before this thing manifested. So I've decided that's probably a combination of the weather and how I'm sitting at work. (I was revising a contract for three days straight, and had neck issues as a result.)
Doctor promised anti-viral, but a lot of pharmacies had run out - next shipment due soon. So waiting on confirmation. For some bizarre reason she required my ethnicity to order it.

Ah well, I can binge television shows, sleep, and relax. Hopefully by next Wednesday, I'll be ready to return to work. I'm not that worried about work - considering work gave it to me. I wasn't sick at all in 2020-December 2021, it wasn't until I had to go back en mass to work, and visited mother, that I got sick.
