[George K]

D2 is in Wisconsin. She called last night saying she's developed a cough and some chills. Usually runs a temp of 97.6, and it was 98.6 last night.

Todays conversations.

Me: How are you feeling?
D2: Ok with Tylenol. Throat is sore and have a mild cough. Fever went down to 98.6 as of 9am
Me: OK - that’s good. Aches better? I had an episode last weekend with some chills as well - lasted overnight and I was fine the next day.
D2: Back of my neck hurts and is warm. Still chills every now and then.

This afternoon:

Me: Still feeling OK?
D2: Yeah. Fever varies from 98.6 to 99.5. It’s higher about 4 hours after I took Tylenol. Energy is ok but I’ve lost my appetite. Try to eat but get queasy.
Me: Ugh. Sounds like it.
D2: I’m drinking lots of juice and tea.
Me: Hopefully it’ll end up being a nothingburger for you.

Sure sounds like it, doesn't it?

She does mental health with a large indigent population. Despite shields, masks, etc., I'm sure she's been exposed.

Also, she's living with her boyfriend. He's a good guy, but his ex (and their sons) tend to be tin-foil hat people when it comes to this. His ex is a real conspiracy nut and anti-vaxer. Who knows what their sons have been exposed to.

At her age (37), I'm optimistic she'll be fine, but, fuckety fuck.

Loss of taste of smell?

Anyway, I pray that she has a very light case, if that's what it is.

Hope it's not COVID , or a very mild case.

"No loss of senses. I used one of those bullshit essential oils to be sure. I definitely smell it. Just still febrile."

[Jolly]

You know, we're not that far from the kick-off of flu season...

[brenda]

Nausea? Could be a GI bug. Those are no fun either, but not as long lasting as COVID.

Hoping she feels better very soon, George.

[Friday]

Hoping for the best George.

dang...glad dad's keeping in touch. Hope this turns out to be big nothing.

[George K]

Dry cough all weekend. Low-grade fever. Nausea is the same. Lots of fatigue.

She was tested on Friday, but no results yet.

She lost her sense of smell this morning.

Getting tested again.

Monday’s patient left me a voicemail. She said she has been sick for a while but didn’t want me to know because I would cancel the appointment and that would look bad for court. I’m not calling her back now and I’m recusing myself. Goddamn it. Good thing she signed a form saying she didn’t have any symptoms Monday. That did me a lot of good...

[jon-nyc]

Ugh.

Been hearing about a 24 hour bug. Hopefully no worse than that.

+1 to both of those

[George K]

Texted about an hour ago.

She's positive.

[kluurs]

SH*T!! Sorry to hear - hope she recovers quickly. My heart goes out to you.

Damn - here's hoping it's a quick mild one.

Sorry to hear this, George. Like the others, I wish her the best for a short uneventful course.

Brother, TNCR is having its own special 2020 these days, isn't it???
