Improving

[cactuswatcher]

It's the eighth day, I feel much better, but I could feel better still. It wasn't a terribly serious case, for which I'm thankful. (I've been seriously ill with measles, influenza and pneumonia.) But I'd in no way call this a mild case of COVID

I watered the plants outside this morning and felt much weaker than last Thursday though I've been eating more since Friday. The rash seems to be just hypersensitive skin, kind of a cross between heat rash and the beginning of bed sores. Large patches have faded away since yesterday, there are still some major patches to go.

I said before I didn't have a fever, but now I think I just didn't have one when I was awake. I woke up Tuesday night several times alternately feeling cold and hot-and-sweaty then adjusting the covers and going back to sleep without pondering what it meant.

This morning I feel like I could read a book again, play a video game or even drive somewhere if I had to. I could think clearly from day one, though my head felt too woozy to do much except think, sit and rest. I never had the slightest trouble breathing. In fact I was surprised I could breath through my nose the whole time despite definite sinus troubles.

Oh good, you are getting better. Saw the last post - with the rash - and was concerned. This thing is weird. It seems to affect everyone differently depending on the variant we got. I've talked to co-workers - and it runs the gamut. Some have no symptoms at all, some have a bad fever and can't leave their bed and completely wiped out, others are like my niece and myself - which is bad head cold, and wiped out, with shortness of breath and a mild cough. And others are like you. Then there are folks like my brother's friend who keeps getting it, and is sick all the time.

Ugh.

Feel better soon. Good news that you've turned a corner now, and it seems to be receding. Not sure how you got it - you've been so careful.

This certainly is a bizarre affliction in the widely varying way it affects people, 'kat is right about that. Glad to hear you're on the mend, and hope it keeps going that way!
