Day three of COVID.
The doctor says to count my infection as having started the day I showed symptoms, which was on Sunday. I had a scratchy throat after church (FUUCA, where I sing in the choir), and assumed it was the allergies everyone was complaining about including the director- one of the few allergies I have is to mold which tends to shoot up whenever it rains, so this was sound reasoning. But by the evening I could tell it was something worse, so I took some cold medicine and went to bed. It wasn't until yesterday that COVID even occurred to me when Joel suggested I take a test, and as the liquid crept to the test line it showed up bright and strong before it even hit the end of the strip. Awesome.
I informed all the people I'd been around in the last couple of days, including the people I went to the hockey game with (attendance- 6000) and the Aggie game (attendance: over 90,000) and the church (attendance- at least a couple hundred, I think?) and am seriously concerned because a lot of these folks are immunocompromised, or north of 65yo, especially the church, and did I sing COVID onto them? I sure hope not. The asst. director has already sent out an email to the church. Sorry y'all! 😕
I then called my doc and said I wanted some Paxlovid. They tried to tell me I would need to be seen at a clinic and I bitched and whined enough to get that requirement met by teleconference. A prescription was called in and soon I got a message back saying they were out of stock and working on getting more. No estimate on how long that would take... I assume that they can call other pharmacies and get meds sent over, but nothing was changed this morning and since you're supposed to take this stuff within 5 days of onset I went ahead and called. They told me to call around and see who has it (thanks for nothing) so I called around and got a hit on the 3rd pharmacy. As soon as I can convince someone to go pick it up for me, I will be starting it up and getting the taste of dog ass in my mouth in no time!
This is my second bout of COVID; I had my first in January where I suspect I caught it from Joel's parents. He and I both got it, so I spent the week at his place. This time I seem to be the only one who caught it, so I'm at home in my own bed thankfully, sleeping as much as I can. There's so many places I could've gotten it, and the fact that the pharmacies are out of Paxlovid makes me think we're going through another wave. I've got a birthday camping trip planned for the weekend after next and I just hope I can clear this before then.
