Covid!

 

I can't tell you how many holidays I have been sick and missed all the fun, but there have been lots, especially on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This year is no exception. I had hives over Thanksgiving and today I have just been diagnosed with Covid.

Typical of me it has not been what I expected at all.. I have not run a temperature over 100 and I have not lost my sense of taste or smell, but I have a terrible horrible no good very bad cough, a stuffy nose, and I ache all over.

Of course my own doctor's office is closed, but after being up nauseous and sick all night long I went to a Prompt Care. 

The hardest part of going to a doctor when I am this sick is the waiting. I got there around 8:30 and left around noon, totally exhausted and dehydrated. Now I am suppose to isolate for 5-10 days, so all the Christmas preparations fall by the wayside.

It is good that I live alone, so no one else is exposed, but it also means caring for myself when I don't feel like doing anything. Not to mention that I will lose a week's pay at work.

I don't know where I caught this or why it choose now to get me. I've lad all the vaccinations and I've even been exposed when Covid first came out. Probably from one of the kids in my class I'm guessing. When they don't feel good they want to sit on my lap a lot more.

Happy Covid Christmas!
