Back at the start of 2020, just before things got serious, my mother, aged 93 was failing fast. As a result of multiple falls, and a long run of 999 calls, I was interacting regularly with paramedics, hospital staff, district nurses, social workers. Over this period I had a persistent cough. Nothing unusual in that because a cold will often leave me with a lasting cough. BUT, that may have been covid.
Since then, we've been exceptionally careful, and dodged it, until last Saturday. We no longer do three days a week looking after our grandson, because he's now full time school, so we're free again, but last Saturday we went over for a family meal. He looked pale, but he has a pale complexion, and he seemed fine, although since starting school he's never without some infection. We came home Sunday and all was well.
Tuesday morning I got up as usual, but immediately felt off it. LIke a cold was starting up. I've had nothing since that 2020 cough. MrsW felt slightly off too. We thought nothing of it until daughter rang later to say they were both covid positive. So we tested and we are the same. As usual, the virus hits my weak spots, so sinus, runny nose, tickly cough. I also had chills but no fever. MrsW has a really bad throat, and because she has asthma, she has to monitor her peak flow but this is down a bit but OK. She has a slight chesty cough.
It's now Friday morning. Paracetamols are keeping us in the game, and symptoms are steady, with a slight improvement. What's also interesting is that my left arm where I had the shots has been itching on and off. Someone else we know had this happen when they got covid.
So there you have it.
