Busy, but blessed day off work today! I got caught up on several personal things I needed to work on. For those of you asking, yes I have continued to get my symptom check ups from the Kentucky department of health. But I did hear yesterday on our Governors daily address that with the number… Continue reading COVID Chronicles – Day 14

Home stretch, people. Day 12. Today, I have felt overall pretty good. Had a couple moments of headache/nausea, but they were short lived. Consistently for me, the worst symptom I have experienced is the headache. It was unlike any headache I’ve ever experienced. And at its worst, no medicine I tried helped at all. The… Continue reading COVID Chronicles – Day 12
Like I said yesterday, I was warned I would likely feel better, then worse, and so on. Today, I felt fine until around 10:15 am when another nauseating headache set in. I took ibuprofen and then at 12:15 I took Tylenol and neither Med made a dent in the pain. I ate lunch and rested… Continue reading COVID Chronicles – Day 11

Let’s talk about crazy COVID dreams. This is a thing. Google it. I have had wild, crazy, intense dreams the last two nights. Like, I had to convince myself they weren’t real this am. They are so intense I really don’t feel rested when I wake up. It’s just wild. Seriously, comment if this has… Continue reading COVID Chronicles-Day 8
Well, no doubting it today. AchesHeadacheFatigue ChillsAnd fever A friend pointed this out yesterday and I think it’s an important observation: I was exposed on 10/26-28. We were unmasked, but I wouldn’t have considered us to be in close proximity. My contacts were not symptomatic at that time so they didn’t know to be concerned.… Continue reading COVID Chronicles-Day 7
The days are starting to run together... I literally referenced an email “I sent last week” to a friend when in fact I sent it yesterday. Yesterday felt like a week ago 🤦🏻♀️. I received another text from my contact tracer: I worked from home and listened to more Christmas music. Today’s choice was For… Continue reading COVID Chronicles-Day 6
Not a lot to report today. I worked from home, scheduled my appointment with my surgeon for the lumpectomy, and started decorating for Christmas 🎄 ♥️. Christmas 2020 has begun. I also got my first text from my contact tracer and had to answer a symptom checklist. Speaking of symptoms, still symptom free today. Here… Continue reading COVID Chronicles-Day 5
