Today’s progress report
So, here’s where we are day 9 for my wife and 6 for me.
I had to work, from home, today, but my wife had it off.
So, the CDC list:
Fever or chills- My temperature was up today and there were several points I felt cold. I’ve got more layers on too.
Cough-For me this has gotten a bit worse. It seems to me my wife’s is a bit better, but they are certainly both there…
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing- I am more congested, and feel that, but the oxygen meter says I’m about my normal. Which means bouncing between 91 and 98 fairly often.
Fatigue- I tried to sleep late today and couldn’t. I’m tried now at the end of the day, but not like like Thursday or Friday.
Muscle or body aches- both of us seem OK with this today
Headache-We both seem beyond this one now.
New loss of taste or smell- I’ve joined my wife in this one. It was a slow fade all day. This morning it was fairly normal, but dinner it was gone. For dinner I made stuffed mushrooms with enough horseradish that in normal times I probably couldn't have held it near my nose without my eyes watering. Today, my mouth tingled a bit afterwards...
My appetite is back despite it. The low point was Friday when I had to force myself to even eat a bit of plain rice. Saturday where my wife made me three small peanut better and jelly sandwiches over the day.
Today I am still filling up quickly, but want food.
Sore throat-Nope, we don’t seem to have that.
Congestion or runny nose- So far this continues to be the biggest impact
Nausea or vomiting-Not so far
Diarrhea-This seems to have passed by, but there is still a level of uncertainty in my mine.
I hope things are going to get better. Of course, I fear the options. But, so far none of the very bad signs. Still, I worry.
