Getting over Covid.
3 years ago
Everyone in my house, myself and my two renters all caught the plague last weekend. Thankfully we all have mild cases. I felt like crap for a day or two and right now all I have left is an occasional cough. Well, that is until my sense of taste went away earlier this evening. That's a pretty common symptom, but I'll take it over the fever or other symptoms coming back.
I've had all the shots and maybe it would be much worse if I hadn't had them. Luckily this happened at a time when it didn't interfere with any cons or family travel. It still sucks but what do you do? This thing is really contagious. I think we all (myself and my renters) had it before anyone knew they were infected.
This is why I haven't posted anything in a few days. Being sick takes a lot out of you. It's hard to get motivated.

Just got it last weekend too with the entire house being positive. Luckily all relatively mild symptoms even if you feel like crap for days. But yeh, its not something to underestimate as we all were luckily vaccinated. Dont even want to imagine how I would have felt without that extra protection x.x
I didn't lose my sense of taste but I STILL have a very hoarse voice a month plus after the infection. This is a nasty bug even in mild form.
Yeah, I tend to work through illness unless I'm really knackered - sadly or happily neither of these bouts knocked me out, just made me stuffy headed.
Glad you're over it!
Hope you recover, I've seen the spectrum from mild to 'Oh lordy is that person alive or what?'. It's a heckuva thing.
Lots of rest, lots of fluid, lots of alone time, and lots of Youtube.
Full disclosure: I haven't had it yet... But I'm an essential worker, so it's probably inevitable and I've got plans for it anyway.
