- I am feeling immensely better than I had been. Wednesday was the peak; I left work early, got home and took my temp: 102.2. I put cold rags on my head, my body, and laid there, drinking water, but it didn’t work so I went ahead and took Tylenol. It took about an hour but the fever finally broke and I literally felt like a new person. The family went to Outback and brought me steak and after a good meal plus the Tylenol, I think I finally crested the mountain. That evening, fever came back a little, not too high, and at night, I didn’t put anything more than a sheet on even though I had chills and at 1 am, the fever broke again and then? And then?? I slept peacefully for the first time in days.
- The next morning was the first time I woke without chills or skin sensitivity or feeling like a zombie. It felt like a demon had left my body; the fever was gone for good. I had residual neck and head pain but the day felt entirely renewed. Thank you, Lord Jesus. I nearly did a dance. I will say, the one thing I have now is this irritating shortness of breath. I definitely believe it was the ‘vid because that is exactly how Ash got it the first time. Though that was obviously a different variant.
- This morning, despite feeling even better than yesterday, I was in an irritated mood. Just noticing all the little things my kids left out or forgot to do or the mess that’s built up since I had been sick. But why? None of that stuff truly matters. One thing you realize when you’re really sick is how much we take our health for granted every day. We really do.
- So even as I drove into work, I was tearing up for some reason. Just feeling overwhelmed by money and the start of the school year stuff and the busyness of life but why? This is what I do, what I live for. I make this life for our family and it’s good. So no complaining! I settled down, got happier, and now, I am doing better. Had my coffee, chatted with some co-workers, and got to work on stuff in the office. That in itself made me feel better. I had to pay some school fees and now, they’ve finally put that online.
- For now, the plan is to leave at 4 and Ash and I are going to walk, then order pizza. I am going to catch up on logging beer cans – so behind! – and then maybe we’ll watch a movie. Since we took devices/games from the kids during the week, we’ve been starting a lot of movies in the evening, having to cut off when it’s bedtime. Maybe we’ll actually finish one today!

Because. You feel out of control because you couldn’t keep up with things while you were ill and now it’s all waiting there for you because of course, you have a house full of people messing things up. I felt exactly like this after a week with covid. Took quite a while to get back focused. But I did feel physically much better. Grateful for small things!
That’s pretty much it. I actually feel much better today, though suddenly having this weird all over tingling/numbness but I chalk it up to the virus leaving my body. Good riddance.
Hmm, might have been covid. I am having that in the my left foot since I got over it. Go slow on your exercise for a while, but do keep your circulation going. I’m older so I’m doing a baby aspirin for a while. Worry a bit about clots…
#3. Amen to that….
I’m glad you’re on the other side of it. Nothing like a nasty virus to make us appreciate when we’re healthy.
