Back to work and school today. At least, I only have my classroom zoom meeting today. I'm already planning to eat my lunch and read a book while DD2 naps and DD1 is doing her school work. 😉

Saturday was rough. H and I definitely needed some space from one another.

I’m at urgent care I was just swabbed for flu and Covid. Getting an X-ray next.

Not sure where I would have picked this up. My husband gets groceries only.

Oh no! How did your xray turn out?

[kam3100]

X-ray was good. Flu test was negative. I’m considered presumptive positive until the results come in.

Oh goodness kam3100. Pease keep us posted.

How long for the results? How are your kiddos doing

[kam3100]

The nurse said 24-48 hours to hear results. I still haven’t heard. My husband and 5 year old now have a headache and a fever. The baby so far is showing no sign. I have it the worst right now. Whatever I have it feels like the flu but with shortness of breath and lung pain. Just getting up to use the restroom takes a ton of effort and then I become very short of breath.

I got some decent sleep last night so hopefully that helps.

That definitely sounds like covid. I hope you all are well soon. Expect to be isolated until 3 days witbout fever and symtpoms have improved and a call from your local public health department.

I don't have much this week. We are in a routine now. I'm slowly losing my mind being at home all the time. I did start working out with body project videos this week. My legs are pretty sore so I might go for a walk or do some yoga instead today.

Honestly, I will be shocked if it comes back negative. I have asthma and I have had bronchitis many times and this doesn’t feel like either.

I’m frustrated because we did everything right. We have stayed home. My husband only goes out to get groceries.
We lysol our groceries. He wore a mask while out. The only thing is he didn’t change his clothes when he got home. So I’m not sure where we went wrong. I’m just hoping whatever I have gets no worse than right now.

Sorry, that was a little vent.

[PennyCandy]

kam3100, I'm sorry. You didn't do anything wrong. It's wide spread and soooo contagious. It's just bad luck. I really hope you all are well soon.

[potatocakes]

kam3100, I'm so sorry to hear that you're not well. Hope everything remains manageable. It sounds like it came out of nowhere.

[kam3100]

The test came back negative. I do wonder what the heck I have though.

[cara]

kam3100 - I think there have been some false negatives if the test wasn’t administered correctly. I think they have to get pretty far back in your nose to get a proper sample. Your symptoms sure do sound like it could be COVID.

Did the offer any additional testing? How is your H and DD feeling

My husband and 5 year old are better.

My fever seems to have broken. I feel a little better but I’m still very tired and my lungs are definitely not at full capacity. I will probably sleep most of the day.

I also worried about a false negative but, there’s really no way to know. They did the flu test in one nostril and the Covid in the other and it was pretty intense.

Fingers crossed that I just have some other weird virus or something.

Poor Z has a strep infection on his penis. No idea how he got it other than his hands are always there when I change him. He's on oral and topical antibiotoics and both kids are home today and tomorrow so I can't work.

[kam3100]

PennyCandy poor guy! I hope he feels better quickly!

[ohreally]

Hello again! It's been probably close to 6 months since I've checked in, but I'm going to try to be more active here again.

DS3 is doing great and is so much fun when he's not hitting or getting into something he shouldn't. The kids still go to daycare while my husband and I work from home. I haven't caught up on anything other than this thread, but I hope you're all doing well under the circumstances. kam3100 glad to hear your family seems to be on the mend.

[klw]

PennyCandy , that sounds rough. I hope he is feeling better soon

It looks so much better. He is on antibiotics for a few more days.

I’m feeling much better. No fever. I still don’t have my full breath, but it’s getting there. Thank you for asking!
