Yes, No or Maybe on Covid-19
I am now on day 11 of being quarantined. It has been very rough. I have been in my small little room to keep my family safe and healthy. My family has being bringing me food and drinks and setting them by the door.
There has been a lot of disinfectant spray, washing hands and face mask. So, I’m heading into my final days. But I want to tell you how it started, and how this torture turned into some happiness for me.
I was working on March 1st, as a cashier and I ended up having a seizure. This took me out of work for about a week. I went to the doctor whom didn’t want me back at work for another week. For some reason, my manager kept telling me, it’s really busy, it’s going to be too much stress on you and you shouldn’t come back in just yet. Every time I called for a schedule she repeated the same thing. She kept repeating the same thing. I had to call HR, I got into it with my manager’s boss and push come to shove I just quit.
I was having so much trouble with this job since I came and no union, no managers or HR helped me. I loved my customers, but this was just not the place for me anymore. As time went on I was in the house in what they are now calling #TheGreatLockdown. I went out and walked one day . I was fine. I got in the car with my dad and went to my bro’s house (aka very bad move. They say stay home for a reason) He needed a babysitter. I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to be with the young ones.
I have a weak immune system and of course nothing is every the best for me. Later that night I started coughing. Like after I ate I continued to cough. I always coughed after I ate because I have esophagitis. But I ended up covering with my face mask and I went home the next day.
Coughing, headache, fever, backache and feeling fatigue. It got bad. Talked to my doctor and she said it was a mild case of Covid-19, or asthma, and or bronchitis. I was sentenced to 14 days in the room. Now I’m a 11 days down and I am not coughing, and no pain. But the fever is getting 99.4. So is it really this virus or no.
Every time it go down for a day and then it would go back up at night. My doctor sent me to get tested. First, they told me I wasn’t a candidate for testing because I didn’t meet the requirements. They said they didn’t have enough tests. But they saw that my doctor was in their network and did the test.
The worst and most uncomfortable test ever. Q-tips all the way to the back of the nose. I was having issues with my eye afterwards. But it came out Not Detected. My doctor said it has a 30% of false results.
So, Was I? Am I? Maybe was? Will it go away? I have to keep you informed.
But the happy news is, after 7 years of not having a dog. My parents surprised me and bought me a dog. She’s gorgeous. I get her when I escape my room I named her Lexi. She is a Cairn Terrier.
I will have more to come!
