Oh well, back on topics, Scott how are you doing today? Feeling any better?

I have family that have/had similar (nasal congestion, fever, and a horrible headache). They were tested (PCR and @home tests) and tested negative, but positive for Flu. I'm looking forward to my round of it.

I may be going back to visit my mom in NJ soon. I plan to go get tested a day before that flight, so I'll have a <72 hr old negative test on my phone, which will allow me into the place she's staying. And once screened in, I can come and go as I please for the rest of the week.

Well it looks like I can post again. This Covid thing is no fun at all. I think I’m past the worst of it. I just have no energy and the headaches and muscle pain comes in waves. The dry cough is lingering as well.

I't most likely going to be a couple weeks of low grade being sick and resting a lot. You just need to let your body heal and get through it. I feel great now, if that gives you any hope. probably going skiing Wednesday.

Absolutely everyone and their goldfish has had it in L.A. over the last 2 months.

The cough or really flem is the last to go. Glad you're feeling a bit better.

Scott, how are the symptoms today?

upsscott · 02-16-2022, 12:54 PM

I feel better today. I feel like I have a bit more energy and the headaches are gone so far. Dry cough is still there with moderate congestion. It’s nice to see an improvement. I’m just trying to resist the urge to go tackle the yard work. I think I should give that one more day. Thanks for asking.

Try the mucinex. I know it helped my dad quite a bit.

Take your time, Scott....the yard isn't going any where.

Best.

I’ve been taking Mucinex since last week. It does help for sure.

I looked out back and I could only see the head of my wife’s pug sticking out from the grass. We’ve been having unseasonably warm weather in NorCal lately and the lawn is blowing up. It’s driving me nuts. Lol.

My lawn is going to have to wait for a while too.
I can't believe the yellow colored stuff coming out of my sinuses lately.
Sorry if TMI.
I ventured to the store today just so my wife wouldn't have to carry the water bottles. We've been fighting things for a week and a half now.
I may hire the gardner again and sell my mower. I really don't want to buy gas for the mower again and the can is empty now.

I get it, I really do.

If you do ignore all sentient council and venture out to mow and rescue the Pug, get one of these:

I have a few and use them for spraying on the farm and really heavy pollen days when I mow, which mangle me without the mask.

Best.

Rose are Red
Violets are Blue
We've all had Covid
Soon you will too...

How are you feeling today Scott? How many days since first positive?

upsscott · 02-17-2022, 09:50 AM

6 days since I tested positive. So far today I feel much better. Congestion is noticeably better. No muscle aches or headache. Just a persistent dry cough. I’m going to go out and spray for weeds today. We’ll see how I feel after that.

upsscott · 02-18-2022, 06:29 PM

I took an at home test today, 7 days after my first positive test, still positive. I went out and wired up some auxiliary lighting to one of the Jeeps this afternoon. I was out in the sun for a couple hours. Now I feel like a mule kicked me. Sore muscles and joints, headache, the works. This virus is bizarre.
