My first four days of the new year will be the last of my five-day quarantine for Covid. I tested positive yesterday morning with what a day before had seemed to be a chest cold coming on. Our meds that have helped so many are helping me too. I am deeply grateful I had all the shots because of how Covid affected my asthma yesterday and today (and nights). Without the vaccines, coughing would undoubtedly have quickly overwhelmed my ability to breathe without mechanical help. As it is, the asthma inhaler is pretty much controlling the coughing, and the Tylenol has the slight temp and discomforts controlled. The Paxlovid prescription Wendy picked up for me will likely keep all this from worsening, and instead improving.
John tested positive too at about the same time. He, Keoni, and Aidan all had "caught a cold" much as I experienced. But John's was Covid. He is much improved today per Wendy's text. Keoni, Aidan, and Wendy are negative at this moment.
Did I wear a mask? Yes, whenever I went out my apartment door. Yet, we all know the virus variants are now contractable in the extreme.
Do I have plans to see in the New Year? If you can call it a plan, I'm going to couch-potato my greetings to 2023 with a movie, my feet in microwavable warm moccasins (Keoni gave me) on my feet, and plenty of liquids.
Take good care of yourselves, those you love, and all the others around you. We're all threads in this interesting, living tapestry.
I will update some more soon.
