Double whammy

[cmk418]

So in addition to watching my beloved hockey team get eliminated last Friday, the game also seemed to have gifted me with a bout of Covid.

(Not really sure if it happened at the game or at the family reunion on Sunday, but the latter was outside and didn't have 18,000 other people there)

My sister sent me a text this morning that she was down with it and I wasn't feeling bad so I went to work (minimal contact with folks there, so I'm not really worried about that) but I decided that I should be responsible and take a test before choir this evening.

They say it could take 15 minutes for that second line to come up on the test, but BOOM it was there pretty much before the third drop settled.

My parents are in denial and not taking the test until tomorrow.

The funny thing is that I feel better now than I have the past three weeks.

Such is life.

And how are you all doing?

Oh, that sucks. I hope you get through it okay. Take care of yourself!

I'm on my second round of antibiotics for something else. So, things are rosy all around, heh.

Thank you! So far it's been very mild. Worst day was Tuesday and that was before I even thought about testing.

I've been on so many drugs between my seasonal allergies & some kind of sinus thing that it's ridiculous. I finally felt like I was at the end of that and then- bam- Covid.

Hope you're able to get through what ails you pretty soon.

Just scrolled back and saw this! Hope all is well and that it continued to be a mild case. More in my family have been through it. They seem to have had slightly worse cases, but thankfully nothing that needed more than resting at home and waiting it out, with maybe some Mucinex thrown in.

I don't know how I've managed to avoid it. I'm taking my first trip in a couple of years at the end of the month. May mask a fair amount - hoping not to join the club.

Sorry for the lapse in response time.

I'm doing fine. I tested negative a week ago Tuesday and was back to work that day. I was vaxxed and double boosted and I think that helped keep the effects to a minimum even if it didn't stop the virus.

Masking may help, especially among crowds (learn from my mistake) and especially if you're traveling on a plane/train/bus/hotel elevator with folks you don't know. If you're going out of the country, check the regulations because you wouldn't want to get stuck somewhere and have no way back home. If you're doing a lot outdoors, particularly in the heat, you may want to limit the mask wearing just for comfort especially if you've been vaxxed. Maybe just practice good social distancing in that case.

Oh noes! I'm sorry your team lost :( And OH NOES! I'm sorry your loser team gave you covid :(

(Joking! Icon's joking too! ;)

Ooof, wishing you speedy negative test results as well. *HUGS*

I wound up testing negative less than a week later so I got to get to work on time.

I think I caught it from a rogue Avalanche fan in the crowd. *raises fist and yells 'A curse on your house and hockey team!'* LOL
