Dunce Cap For A Bit
Ok,
So the Mods are probably eye rolling me, , Thatās not my intent. Letās gripe about the physical aspects of this illness. Let it out. Just keep politics out of it.
So me personally, itās been a year. 80-100 hour work weeks. 3-4 rounds of golf, none since May. THIS IS NOT POLITICAL-get it, donāt, donāt care-but Iāve spent the year āVaccinatingā America. Yay. I chose not to get it for personal reasons, Iāve been very ill in the past couple years and my Oncologist advised against it.
So I got fit and hoped that would be enough. As much contact as I have had, itās amazing it took until now, I actually thought I might be immune? Nope, lady friend got it, now I do.
Iām sick as heck, donāt get me wrong. But with the misery Iāve been through, this is really not much. The breathing is a little disconcerting. Iām not used to coughing until I puke. But Iām really in no danger. When that happens my O2 level drops significantly, but otherwise itās mostly 90ās.
Iāve been in the best shape so far so Iāve been cooking for her family and me. Doesnāt even matter if itās good or not, not a one of us can taste a thing, lol. Gives me a purpose each day though. No matter how crappy I feel, they feel worse and need to eat.
So I know this can be a lot worse, Iāve attended too many funerals. Still sucks, but Iāve dealt with worse.
Main symptoms, Almost Zero % taste and smell-I can tell if something is salty or spiced, even if itās only to tell that. I had a Liquid IV earlier, it was salty? Supposed to be Lemon/Lime? Debatable, .
Respiratory problems. Theyāre real. I only have 50-60% lung capacity to start so itās a concern when I canāt breathe. That said Iām in no mortal danger, but jeesh. Itās not fun here.
Luckily Iāve felt āokā mainly. Fever is low if at all. I even worked out last night, and if you know me Iām an all or nothing guy. So it was full.
So feeding my folks, eating too to keep strength up, thatās important right now. Keeping vitamins and hydration flowing. Important. Whining about it on an Internet forum? Important! .
