ysobelSaturday I noticed my voice was getting a bit rough, but I'd been doing a lot of talking (interviewing potential new caregivers over zoom) so hoped it was just that.
Sunday I woke up with headache, increased voice frogginess, and sore throat. So definitely sick.
Today I took a Covid test and it was positive.
(Sigh)
To be fair, lasting this long without having gotten covid is pretty impressive, especially given the number of people I have coming in and out. And hopefully it doesn't get too much worse. I haven't lost smell or taste yet, haven't had a fever that I know of (I did sweat a lot Saturday night though, and had weird sleep quality; last night was better), and so far (knock on wood) it hasn't gone into my lungs.
The other fun bit right now is I have a new flare up (fop) on the side of my rib cage. Which... I did an ExpressCare video visit to see if Paxlovid would be a good idea in my situation, and some of the questions were things like "can you turn your head okay" (loooool... not since maybe 1994) and "any chest pain" (yes but not from being virally sick). The neurospicy "must be accurate" impulse is hard to fight sometimes.
Anyway. I suspect I am going to be pretty antisocial for thanksgiving... which honestly I don't mind too much
