Bump....

[kluurs]

Still waiting on test results. Very fatigued, lots of congestion. Mrs. Kluurs has all the symptoms I have plus nausea. Going up stairs is very tough. I joked that if something hits the floor, it may stay there a while.

[George K]

Thanks for the update.

Hopefully this will pass quickly.

And you and the Mrs. will recover in a heartbeat.

I know it sounds silly, but try to have a reasonable Christmas.

Sorry to hear. Are you monitoring oxygen?

[brenda]

Uggghhh. Sounds very crappy, kluurs. Rotten way to spend Christmas. Best wishes for both of you to recover quickly. Keep us posted, please.

[George K]

Time for an update @kluurs .

[kluurs]

About the same - no worse (coughing, congestion, extreme fatigue). I'm pretty much a lump on the sofa or bed. Hope to try a different testing place as I still haven't heard from the first.

Well, at least no worse...

Your bride?

[kluurs]

She's mirroring my condition though she did water the orchids today - which was epic. OTOH, I made the meals today - which was no small accomplishment.

[Jolly]

Hang tough. It just takes awhile...

[kluurs]

Thanks folks. Our oxygen levels are both reasonably good. Even though we're still waiting on the result of my test from Thursday afternoon, we've decided to go to another test stie tomorrow morning and try and see if they might get us a result sooner.

[kluurs]

Went to a different testing place - seemed a bit more together and took the quick test. We both got a negative finding for COVID. We are both still heavily fatigued though less congestion. I'm guessing we caught the flu - though both of us had the flu shot. Still, if this is a milder version of the flu, I'd hate to meet the real deal.

[Horace]

Glad you don’t have it Kluurs.

You've got man-flu, dude.

Very relieved to hear it.

Did either of you lose sense of taste or smell?

[George K]

Good news, indeed. So, though you both might be sick as hell, the chances of long-term issues are greatly reduced.

[kluurs]

@jolly No, we can taste and smell - the one major symptom we missed from the onerous list. Also, while the quick test is less accurate, the fact that both of us got negative results provided some assurance that we're dealing with a flu.

As George noted, nice to not have to contemplate long-term issues.

This morning I feel about 10% better - congestion isn't in the chest as much - though my voice sounds ideal for FM radio.

It's been going around... sinusitis, bronchitis, etc. I had it for nearly 2 weeks. I've had a flu shot too. The lack of breath part scared me, but I never lost my sense of taste or smell, so I was pretty sure it was n't covid. I feel for you guy.... it just takes the punk out of you..
