SOoo… I thought I had a cold. For a week now. No fever or chills, just a very mild sore throat, mild cough and runny nose. Symptoms are almost gone now, as I said I feel great. Well…Turns out I have (had) Covid. I wouldn’t have taken a test but my son was sick tonight and he tested positive at the doctors, so Tim and I both took a home test.
You know those kits that have been piling up which the government keeps sending us? Yeah, that’s the one.
Tim’s was negative and mine was positive. You can test positive for several days or even weeks after you get it.
I thought I was tired all last week because of surgery. I thought I couldn’t get motivated to get off the couch because of surgery. I thought I had a cold. I thought I wasn’t hungry because of surgery. I didn’t throw up this time (although I did get nauseated once, but I thought it was because of … you guessed it … surgery). I’ve been blaming a lot on surgery which was probably due to this stupid pandemic. Who knew? At least it wasn’t as bad as when we got it in December. I have heard this year is not as bad as last year from others who have gotten it again. There is a silver lining.
I might have given it to Bryan 
when we saw him yesterday. Or maybe he got it from his daughter. She tested positive a week or two before me. Who knows… According to the tool on the CDC website, I can go outside on June 30, which was yesterday. No travel until July 4th according to the CDC. The only travel I had planned was going back to the RV to go to church in Houston. Looks like I will miss another Sunday at church. 😫😭😫😭
We only have one more week at the church in Pasadena after this one. I hope nothing else goes wrong! I don’t want to miss our last week there.
Tim decided to go to the RV tonight to stay away from me until he’s sure he didn’t catch it. He left pretty quickly after we did the test. He’s supposed to preach Sunday. He took some of those test kits with him as well, just to be safe. We have spent more days apart in the past month than we have in many years of marriage. This kind of stuff will really test a marriage, but fortunately I found a good one. He keeps hanging in there, in spite of all my sickness, scars, and of course weirdness. I wouldn’t trade him for the world.,
Hopefully I’ll be able to join him for the 4th of July, when we will celebrate our Independence from Covid!
À la prochaine…hasta la próxima vez…until next time!
