And Not Moving

64°f again today. Another sunny, breezy, dry one, with highs in the upper 80s.

Well, it caught me. No surprise there, with Larry coughing all over the place. Even masks and hand-washing couldn't catch it all, I guess. So, second round of Covid for me---first was in summer 2022.

I have not called my doctor yet, since they are not in on the weekends. I am not really feeling too bad anyway, except in the mornings. I tested negative Wednesday evening,  but by yesterday morning I felt lousy, so did another test, which of course was positive. So I am resting, taking DayQuil and Nyquil to ease the symptoms, and drinking lots of fluids. In between resting I am doing some cleaning---nothing heavy, just dusting, laundry, sorting stuff, etc. I've never been one to stay in bed when I am sick, and since pneumonia is a common side effect of Covid, moving about is a good thing, I think.  I feel like I just have a head cold. 

Unfortunately I will miss my pre-op appointments scheduled for Tuesday. I can only hope they will be able to reschedule me quickly so that my knee surgery is not delayed.

Meanwhile, here are some things that made me laugh recently. No sense moping about something I can't change!

  1. It doesn't seem like it's hitting you too hard. I hope it stays relatively low key.

  2. Oh boo, sorry to hear you caught Covid again. I hope this time will be less stressful. But it probably will do some changes for your surgery schedule, though I'd hope not. Hang in there!

    1. I think you are right. Might be a good thing to postpone it, since I had that UTI, then a cold, and now this. I think I need time to recover!

    1. Yes, I hope they work, Tom! Larry had his too, but still got Covid. I suppose there are different strains running around.

  7. I hope its not the case for you, but a friend of mine had to delay her surgery for 6 weeks when she had COVID. Good luck with it all.

    1. Well, it may be a good idea to delay it, since apparently I am run down, coming off the UTI, and then this.

  8. No fun! Maybe by now you've got Paxlovid to mitigate the length of your infection. I've had it only once that I know of but also have kept uptodate on boosters.

  9. Good luck with getting better, at least Covid might not be as strong as when it first arrived. Take care and get some rest.

    1. Michelle, it last such a short time! A bit of a stuffy head is all I have left. I am very thankful.

  14. I am so sorry to hear that you have Covid too, although hopefully you have got rid of it now. Sorry to hear that has affected your operation. Thank you for the things that have made you laugh, they were great!
