So I’m waiting to see if I have Covid…

On Wednesday night, I started to get a bit of a scratchy throat. Then by Thursday afternoon, my throat started to feel a little sore & I started getting a dry cough. I also had a head cold & headache. I canceled my evening class & took a nap at 5pm. I woke up at 6pm with a fever of 102.4. I got chills when I went to sleep that night, & my fever was up & down. Yesterday morning at 5am, my fever was 104.8, so I called in sick for my hospital job. I did a PCR test, & the same swab will check if I have the flu. I’m still waiting for the results, which I should get by tomorrow.

My symptoms got worse yesterday because I got the runs as well. I still had a fever today, but 101.8 was the highest. It’s the coughing fits that are the worst, so I made fresh ginger tea which is helping.

Once I get the results & depending how I feel tomorrow, I’ll decide if I have to find a sub for my classes. I really hate doing that, but I have no choice.

I haven’t been this sick since January 2020. The worst part is I can’t even cuddle with my daughter. We miss each other even though she’s in the next room. 🥺❤️

UPDATE: So I finally got my results, & I do have Covid. My daughter just did 2 home tests, & she’s positive. 😓

No work for me this week & no school for her. Thank goodness my son is away for school, or else he probably would’ve gotten it as well.

@Harmonium1923 Thanks B. ☺️It’s mild in the sense that I don’t have shortness of breath or need to be hospitalized.

Rules state that you must self isolate from SW for 7 days 🧐

I hope not, Marsy! Take care! I hope your daughter isn't too upset by the distance.

@SW-User She does, but we always cuddle & talk, or she shows me silly TikTok videos. Lol

@marsbar it'll be okay, M. The hug will feel really good when you get it.

@SW-User Thanks T. It will. ☺️
It sounds as though you're getting through it. You're smart to isolate until your symptoms are gone. You'll be cuddling with your daughter soon.

Feel Better. 🤗

Sounds like you might have coldviid. Not a big deal. It is a cold with a funny name. Nothing to be worried about.
