COVID-19 Day 15, light at the end of the tunnel, I think
Maybe there is a divine power, laughing it up at me. Nah! Personally it’s more like actual proof there isn’t, especially a benevolent one as per numerous human-based mythos. Now that I think about it, it is cool I can’t … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 14, long covid?
Well…it beats death, given all the things I would like to do within the next decade or longer. The part that really sucks, I’ve used up all the tests I get via insurance so what follows is coming out of … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 13, is this an omen of bad luck?
Another weekend cooped up in the house. Not entirely, I still go to the mailbox and have had to drive to Walgreen’s. I’m being a good citizen though. Whenever I come within a couple meters (or less) of a human … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 12, going into the second weekend
On the upside, Jennifer remains “negative” on any test she is given but I don’t recall if her current employer even bothers. As always, the news from China is close to zero as the correspondents who work the beat said … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 11, I’ve lost track what follows
Now I had to get test kits out of my own pocket. However, I remain a fan of Science and as much as I wanted the results I prefer, no dice. Let’s see tomorrow.
COVID-19 Day 10, quintuple ugh!
Now my situation is transforming into the joke segment Don’t from the ambitious but sadly a flop…Grindhouse. Currently we’re at the part where the phrase is wearing on all our nerves. I just don’t know if we’ll ever return to the … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 9, quadruple ugh!
Aggravating would be the simple, polite word today. I’m taking another test given the Sample line being lighter and at Jennifer’s expert opinion, meeting a place for a PCR test. Can’t remember what the acronym stands for. When I looked … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 8, triple ugh!
Now it’s getting pretty aggravating. Especially when I get the test rolling and the Sample line goes the red/pink almost immediately! How I miss the days when it was Control. In the good ol’ days, sometimes Sample would taunt me … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 7, double ugh!
Then again, it’s better than contracting a disease or virus in which body parts fall off. For all the faults of the Stupid Ages (not sure when it began exactly and I fear it will end in nuclear war still), … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 6, ugh!
At least I only have one more painful does of those red pills to fight off the symptoms, unless my own body (CON 8, maybe 7) has been doing the real work. Jennifer had me try both tests to make … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 5
Nothing terribly new to report other than I got my free tests via Walgreens and Big Insurance. Both were “inconclusive” (the Sample line was solid while Control was maybe) which is best to assume I’m still infected, sick, whatever. Jennifer … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 4
Don’t let the “positive” outcome fool you, it remains a better development. The “T” line isn’t as solid so I’d say I am recovering and the virus is slowly being conquered by my immune system. I won’t be contagious shortly. … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 3
Today has been a huge improvement over the last two days and I think the worst of the virus is over, namely, I’m rehydrated. Now I’m trying to not go stir-crazy through the quarantine element. I feel bad for not … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 2
I’m doing somewhat better today. Yesterday and the night before was very rough. Initially, I thought I had the flu given all the symptoms: headache, sore throat, joint pain, etc. It was the annual flu to the letter. But to … Continue reading
