I haven't written anything for the past month because I have been very sick. It started out as a cold with coughing and congestion and soon turned into a marathon of feeling bad, high blood pressure, trips to the Emergency Room, walk-in clinic associated with the family practice we go to, and self-isolating at home.
Of course, Charlie also came down with the same symptoms so we both took home Covid tests, and both turned out negative. It didn't make us feel any better and we continued to isolate ourselves at home.
The hardest part of getting over this illness was that we had no energy or stamina. I put away a basket full of clean clothes and was totally exhausted afterward. We had very little appetite and ended up sleeping in our downstairs recliners for a month as Charlie would cough during the night and wake me up or I would cough and wake him up.
We have both been very spoiled because neither of us has been sick in 3 years. Charlie started doing more activities but rebounded being sicker than I was. We later discovered that he also had an abscessed tooth and had to go on antibiotics. to resolve the infection.
We are slowly getting back to our normal routine. I am behind in everything but doubt I will catch up soon.
