Awe I’m so sorry! How awful to get a rebound case. New fear unlocked. I am glad you are better now though! No it is not fun to quarantine in the summer. My tan is fading. šŸ˜€ HA! I guess that’s a champagne prob and I will be just fine.

Awe thank you Erica! You’re too sweet. You’re right – that is the hard part. I keep thinking I can end my quarantine and then I realize I’m here for the long haul when I count the days and realize I have more to go. So far so good with the rest of the fam staying well {knock on wood}! Hope you guys stay well. It is definitely going around in this franklin / nashville area. GROSS.

Luckily our young adult boys stepped up and did grocery shopping and made or picked up meals for us. They set up a stand outside our room that we found stocked with water and snacks most mornings and where they would drop our meals with strict instructions not to open the door until they were well out of the germ zone!! Luckily they did not get sick from us. Hope you are feeling better soon, itā€™s no fun to quarantine in summer.

We will need to continually be inoculated for it just like the flu. I also had COVID in June after all the shots which protected me from dying. Without them I would have.

I thought I had strep throat even though Iā€™d never had strep throat and was just going by what Iā€™d heard from others whoā€™d had strep throat say it felt likeā€¦swallowing broken shards of glass. Nope. Doctor said youā€™ve got covid. My brilliant response was ā€œYouā€™re joking, right?ā€. He was not. Sigh. All three of us had covid at about the same time. It was great fun having the husband and I down with it at the same timeā€¦no one to nurse us in our ā€œI think Iā€™m dyingā€ moments plus worrying over my son having no one to nurse him in his ā€œI think Iā€™m dyingā€ moments and me to sick to drive two days to be at his bedside. Gah!
Now, my daughter insists that she and I had covid at the end of 2019 before knowledge of it was widespread. She and I were both down with a not your normal flu kind of flu. Once information came out about the covid 19 variant, we ticked off all of the boxes for it. So, I guess Iā€™ve had it twice? Once or twice, it was a pain in the behind. I donā€™t do ā€œsickā€ with anything even vaguely resembling patience. All of the things I should be or want to be doing dance before my bleary eyes taunting me as I heave myself out of my deathbed to go to the bathroom yet again and then make the exhausting journey of a thousand miles back to my bed of misery.
Glad you have a wonderful nurse and hope you and your son are feeling better soonest!
