Remember back in the beginning of November, we were very sure I had covid and the test was a false negative. I had lost taste and was very sick for over two weeks….Then Jeff got covid with a positive test the beginning of December.
I went and got an antibody blood test to see if I was immune…but I had not developed any antibodies. This is not uncommon with immune compromised people.
All of us got sick a few days later, much like the flu. We felt that I gave covid to Jeff.
Now, Sunday, I was having serious abdominal pain and went to the ER. They quarantined me while I waited, because I was exposed to Jeff. (It was a 6.5 hour wait.)
They determined I had pneumonia in lower lobes and one middle lobe. Gave me meds there and more to take at home.
They also did a covid test…. they called today to tell me it is POSITIVE.
The questions in my mind are confusing. All I know is that I am tired of being sick. I knew the risk. I was careful. I got sick. Honestly. I don’t think there is truely any way to prevent this virus. They say wash your hands, wear the mask…. but on the outside of my ER room, the sign said WARNING: AIRBORNE VIRUS. I am still taking vitamins C, and D, zinc, and elderberry…. and now zithromax.
If you are in contact with someone who has it, you are going to get it.
