I have good news and bad news. As I mentioned in my previous post, I exposed my husband's entire family at the family gathering we hosted only two days before I started showing Covid symptoms. Now my sister-in-law from Las Vegas, who stayed with us while she was visiting, has Covid. That's part of the bad news. The good news, however, is that none of the rest of those who came to the family get-together caught it. I am especially thankful that my in-laws, who are in their eighties, did not catch it!
The other part of the bad news is that my husband started showing Covid symptoms the day after I did, but his test came back negative. After another couple of days with continued symptoms getting worse, especially the cough, I had him take a test again. Sure enough, it came back positive. Our hypothesis is that he took the test too soon. Either that or it was just a test that had gone bad (although we got them all at the same time).
Thankfully, a wonderful friend stopped by and dropped off Gatorade and some things that will help my throat feel better. She has had Covid multiple times (she's a teacher) and knew what we would need most. Beyond that, we are able to fix meals for ourselves. They're simple, but good. The rest of the time, you can find us curled up in bed or on resting on the couch.
As I am often told when I have a kidney stone (I've had many)...this too shall pass.
