Getting COVID 3 times.
-
Went to a drive-through testing clinic today. Negative. Third time in a row. HOW? I'm sick AF, wife and daughter have COVID at home. So what in the hell do I have and how did I not get COVID?
Daughter's still sounding gnarly, O2 dipping into scary levels at night, but not scary enough to get admitted.
Getting everything delivered so as not to get the whole town infected. They didn't have one of the items, and, strangely, the instacart person made the executive decision to switch it with Cheerwine.
I didn't even know I could get Cheerwine here.
So that's what I'm doing today. Drinking Cheerwine, hocking up foul shit, cleaning out the bunbun hutch.

She should start turning the corner soon…

Oh my. So sorry your little one is so sick. Here's a thought: At some point, she may need an inhaler to calm down the coughing.
I had the same thought, but no bueno. Doesn't really help all that much.
Is it a productive cough, is there stuff coming out?
Completely dry. Sounds close to productive, never is.
It might be a good conversation to have soon with the doc to find out when that decision (inhaler, suppressant, etc.) should be made. It helps you feel less stressed if you have a plan, and action is much quicker when needed.
Sparse on that for now. They won't do or prescribe a damn thing unless she consistently gets below 90. We test her on the hour, and I'm logging it, so that a doc can make sense of her history if it comes to that.
Hoping you all feel much better very soon.
Thanks, brenda.

It may not help now, but the longer the cough goes on, the more likely she may end up needing it. Maybe those only get prescribed for adults? Dunno on that.Is it a productive cough, is there stuff coming out?

I suppose that's better than coughing up green crud, but still .. . I feel so bad for her.It might be a good conversation to have soon with the doc to find out when that decision (inhaler, suppressant, etc.) should be made.

That's excellent to log it all. Well done, Daddo!Hoping you all feel much better very soon.
Thanks, brenda.

How is the Mrs. doing? Really hope you folks are a day away from being back on track.
She's doing more or less okay. Honestly I'm just as much worried about those two being stuck inside as I am the damn virus. But she's doing okay.

Thanks for the updates.
I have nothing to add other than that. Of course, we all worry.

Appreciated, man. So far, though, it seems to be gradual improvement.

Every time she bounces back, she seems to get better. But when she's bad, it's still down to 89-90 O2, ~102.5 fever. So, it's confusing.

How was last night?

Some coughing fits from the kiddo, O2 down to 92 at the lowest. I'll take it.
As for me, I was coughing up a lung all night. I tried a telemedicine appointment to get antibiotics, and I shit you not, the quack of a doctor prescribed benzos and allergy medicine.
I can get oxy to my heart's content, and for about a third of the price as chewing gum, but I have no idea how to get some basic fucking antibiotics.

Wow - just seeing this forum thread!!!
Sending positive thoughts!!! Hope all gets better soon.

Update today???
Kiddo still sounds terrible. But, her O2 is consistently 95 or above, just an awful cough. Wife's about the same.
I sound like shit. I mean, more shit than usual, most definitely. Still coughing up a ton of nasty crud on the regular. Through what can only be described as a tour de force in brinksmanship, I procured some antibiotics. Going to pick them up here in about an hour.

Yeah, they don't dip down terribly anymore, so thank God for that. They're through the worst of it, it seems.

Well yeah, but my principal concern has always been getting COVID from my wife or daughter and having this shit. That sounds like a good recipe for an ICU visit if you ask me.Further good news: wife and daughter just got tested at a clinic. Negative. We can probably hang out safely again.
Please love yourself.

Woohoo! Now you can give them whatever crap it is that you have!
