Well, I thought I had those super genes, but Covid got me. Had light chills very early Weds morning, woke up at 2 and got on and off sleep till 8. Got up, went about business as usual, a little sore, but had just poured concrete, so not unusual. Started to run fever that afternoon, very slight at 1st, got up to 102°, but even that was off and on only about 12 hours. I do not get sick or run fevers, so figured I better report to my NP for direction. They set up a video call for Thurs morning and a swab that afternoon. Wed to Thurs sleep was not normal, a general malaise is about the only way to describe it. My patella's hurt, can you imagine that?
So I wake up this morning and things are going back to normal, the cough was the worst thing, one of those choughs where it makes your ribs sore. Other then just a little lingering of the cough, I feel normal. NP calls and tells me I was positive for Covid. Oh well, it is what it is. An unpleasant 36 hours, but I have had worse. 8 more days of quarantine. I was able to go out and finish the last of the concrete this morning, so all in all, I guess I am OK.
I figured I would share this. I realize that every person is an individual, and that effects would be different for everyone. But since I think the Medical Profession would think I am the Poster Child for Covid death, wanted folks to know how it effected me.
