Negative, prob the seasonal flu
My wife works at the Phoenix campus in the outpatient recovery unit (she gave the
to the ICU about a year ago) and they shut down her unit last week to turn it into an ER overflow. They were overran, they are not a trauma hospital and have a very small ER in comparison to the rest of the hospital.
At least you got it under your belts and don't have to worry about "what ifs". Hope Sierra gets over it quick.
Friday night I was drinking with friends per usual.. Saturday pretty early I woke up not feeling “right”. By mid morning I was feeling pretty rough.. couldn’t tell ya a lot about it other than I was having fevers off and on pretty much all day.
The kinda fevers where you are soaking through pajamas, sheets, and even the blanket is kinda wet.
Kept changing shirts and pj’s and even sheets but now the aches set in.. I am gonna tell you that isn’t even the right word. My bones (all of them) hurt. My joints, all of them, hurt.. Some of my muscles hurt.. but my legs / hips? Was enough to make your eyes water.
Next day I had the IV people come and drop the bags and the vitamins and the Meyers cocktail and the vitamin shots in the ass on top of it.
There is always some relief when you get in IV if nothing else just from hydration.
If that is what the flu is like in modern times I can absolutely see people dying from it..
At one point I don’t know if I was awake, asleep, or hallucinating but I swear I thought I was in a concert and the music was so loud all I wanted was for it to stop..
The irony being it’s some random band (genesis) and some random song that I never much cared for.. I had to actually look it up on google to find out what it was.
If I never hear that again it will be to soon.
I’m feeling better today.. got out of bed and went to the living room and I told Stacy “something smells bad in here.” Turned out it was me.. This last round I think I finally sweated this virus out of me and into pj / t shirt pair number six or seven..
Anyhow this is a PSA to tell you there is some nasty shit going around and trust me when I tell you, you don’t f’ing want it. I was so weak for
Most of this I couldn’t lift a rv remote let alone a phone. My eyeballs hurt so bad I couldn’t read or watch tv etc.. awful.
IV nurses said it’s ripping through town like wildfire, right along side of covid.
I guess if I was gonna catch one or the other I’m glad I caught this.. I honestly couldn’t imagine covid being any worse though.. albeit I’m not sure I’d be over it in three or four days.

You can also sign up for an antibody test through labcorp.com. Pay for it online, check in with phone, they'll text you when they're ready for you. We got our results back within 24 hours. It shows you how much, in a number, of antibodies you have. Less than 8-no antibodies. More than 7 - anitibodies. Mine have been and continue (we've been testing every couple of months) to be >2500. That's a big number past 7...
I think Dave got on Ivermectin right away which I am sure was a reason for that to go so quickly away.
I have always thought…it’s never going away, we are all going to get it at some point.
I must had a different virus. Didn’t eat for a couple of days due to the sore throat but made up for it before and after.

Staying home sucks!
Generally a 10-14 day ordeal for the first timers unvaxxed. Most likely you're more than half way through it. Hang in there and keep
Same exact thing for me. On Tuesday I felt good like it was behind me. Well today my cough is back and stuffed up again.
Glad you're home
It’s been a little over a year since our house had it. I’m not looking forward to going through it again. Seems like the probability of getting it again are pretty high.
Did you try any of the Mexican meds?
Tequila and lime?
