COVID finally got me. Here ends a good run.
First time? I thought I was immune too...
yup, first time. was starting to feel like the last woman standing.
I went through 4 bouts of it in the house, with all three other members going down each time, without picking it up. No isolation, as just not doable within our family. At one point, I actually thought I might be studied for a cure sort of like in that Brad Pitt zombie movie....Next time though, hit me like a freight train.
@melbourne_wanderer @Seagoon_ That's awful ๐
Hope you have a full and speedy recovery.
thanks - my first time, hoping it's not too bad!
Plenty of water, and rest. Don't be afraid to get the over-the-counter codral/codeine if you need to.
It sucks, I'm sorry you caught it.
thanks - partner has gone for pharmacy supplies, I am set up in the spare room ready for any eventuality (lots of sickness, sleep and crappy streaming tv/movies, or not so much sickness and isolated productivity). time will tell!
