My Son & I Have COVID

My son and I so appreciate each one of you for your concern, well wishes and prayers❣️ @StarSong is right....I recently viewed threads but prefer to respond when I'm on my desktop. I expected to get on my computer a couple of days ago but didn't feel up to it so it's been 9 days since I've been on. I was feeling better by Tuesday, the day my son returned to work, but didn't have much energy. Yesterday (Thursday) was the first day I felt back to myself and was able to do regular stuff without feeling exhausted. I still have a cough though. My has appetite returned, somewhat. It's good that I'm not eating the way I was before. I seem to be craving more fruit and less starchy carbs. Hopefully I will keep off the 8 pounds I lost (of the 10 I regained after losing 26) while sick and continue to lose more weight.

Wishing the best of blessings for each of you. Again....

Oh dear OneEyedDiva, I am sorry to know that you
have covid, that must complete the whole family, I
remember when they were all down with it, but not
you.

I can only give you words of encouragement, to get on
getting better, but I will send you some healing and a
prayer.

Get better quickly.

Mike.

@OneEyedDiva, so glad you are starting to climb your way back to health. Covid walloped me a good one in late 2020, before vaccines were available, so I feel your pain. Please get plenty of rest - the housework can wait. We'll be here when you're up to conversation.

I'll be thinking of you and sending my best wishes for a full recovery your way.

me too at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020... good lord I didn't know what hit me, it was all new then... so altho' we all had just learned of Covid, all we knew then is that it was a Killer.. but tbh, I was in such a state I didn't even have the clarity to think, much less wonder if I was going to die, all I could think of was how cold I was.. nothing would get me warm.. I'd never known that it was impossible to be warm regardless of how many blankets I had on..:eek:. fortunately mine only last less than a week... my husband caught it right after me, and was bed ridden for 16 days.. if he'd been on his own without me looking after him, goodness knows what would have happened.

very pleased to hear you've made a good recovery Diva.. and your son is back to work.. !! 🥰
 
I am fully vaccinated and boosted and have experienced two infections. The first was last January after a Christmas party in which one participant had a “cold” and just about everybody got sick the next day. Probably the Omicron variant. My wife and I both came down with the cold from Hell, although we couldn’t get tested until a couple of days after recovery — negative. I developed the same symptoms yesterday and this time used a home test kit which was very positive. Once again nothing more than that cold from Hell, although this time maybe not quite as bad. So far no hospital and no headache or breathing problems, just a lot of TV and Kleenex.

Thank you Rob. You are correct, the total I've lost is 24 pounds. I'd like to lose at least 8 to 10 more.
@ElCastor I didn't know the at home test kits gave degrees of positivity (or was that just an expression?). I'm glad that unlike when I get colds, my nose was not stopped up, something I hate most about being sick. Take good care of yourself and get well soon. Just curious...were you still wearing your masks?
@Mike It's amazing to me that you remember my family's COVID history! Bless your heart and Thank You❣️

@Blessed Thank you. I'm no stranger to fainting. I've done it a few times in the house when I used to have atrial fibrillation from a cardiac arrythmia. Once I fainted in the bathroom. I fainted one morning when getting ready for work. My son was about 15 or 16 and I could hear him panicking. I know he thought I was dead, so I forced myself to make a sound. I fainted one day in the bathroom. My son was all dressed and on his way to deejay a wedding reception. As worried as he was, I told him he could not let the bride and groom down and had to go, so he called is GF (who became my DIL decades later) to come stay with me. I've also fainted in the kitchen. I do what I call a "pretty faint"...I manage to fall without hitting my head on something hard. Each time I refused to go to the hospital. It's the last place I wanted to be when having an episode of A-fib, during which time rest is critical. Hard to rest when there's constant noise, they make a pin cushion out of you (and back then I had no good veins) and it's cold as h*ll all the time. I did see my cardiologist though and endured all kinds of tests. My A-fib was cured in 2016 and haven't fainted since.

@hollydolly Wow! You and your husband really went through something. Good thing you were there for him and things were no worse.
