I’ve been sick the past week or so – chills & sweats, fever (38.9°C / 102.0°F), extreme headaches (like 7/10), lots of sleep, coughing, burning chest, etc. I must have sweated half a litre by now.
I did a COVID test. It turned out to be negative. (I’m not entirely sure if I did it right.) I called Health Link (811). They said go to the hospital – it might be pneumonia. I went. They said it wasn’t pneumonia but lung, nasal, & throat inflammation and a flu. Yay.
The fever finally began to break yesterday evening. I was down to 99.6°F / 37.6°C. (I’m usually 36.5°C.)
Floyd was also ill – he got sick before me by about a day – but he’s not been as ill as me. He sounded like he swallowed a gunny sack full of frogs for a few days. Now he’s out and about, mostly better. I’m still nursing myself at home.
