I finally got sick!

After 17 years without a sniffle I tested positive for Covid Friday morning. I knew I was probably feeling an actual illness but it had been so long I almost forgot what being sick felt like. The chills is what grabbed my attention. Got a false negative Thursday morning...and thought maybe the whiskey after a few beers the night before was too much. Haha. By Saturday I was feeling improved and today just about feeling back to normal. I hammered this virus with the supplements I know it hates and it sure seemed to work. It's a very interesting illness. Via the body aches it was as though the bug was traveling around in me looking for a weak spot. Ended up with aches in my piriformis muscles and lower spine. This is where I've had to undergo PT in the past. Also one ear just started hurting like hell - all while I was trying to sleep last night. Took a couple ibuprofens and that stopped it.

I'm not vaxed for it. And, over the past month I worked myself to exhaustion while clearing out two homes to sell back in Commiefornia without my trusty vitamin D. Then, my son had a good time in a big casino arcade and that's where I think we got it. I was due. My plan was to avoid it until the virus had weakened substantially. Didn't make it as long as I liked. Before it landed in this hemisphere I said two predictions: 1- Most people are going to get it. And, 2- Most of us will lose somebody close to us from it. There you have it.
