    Ugh... And the hits just keep coming...

    Luke is feeling better except now he has phantom smells. He still can’t smell or taste things that are there, but occasionally he’ll smell something that isn’t...

          Omg, leg cramps. I sometimes get them right above the back of my knee at night, and I have to wake Steve up to help because I can’t move and can’t get rid of them, so incredibly painful! Too much salt, dehydration, and sciatica seem to bring them on for me. And a bad one makes my leg sore for a couple of days.

            @jodi when we had our horse, I used to get them - exclusively in my left calf. I assume it was because of my instructor yelling "HEELS DOWN GEORGE!" and an old Achilles tendon injury.

              There are few things as much fun as getting leg cramps when cycling when you're 10 miles from home.

              I was only joking

                Me, too. I've been sick -- not covid, the usual crud that's been plaguing me for several years -- so I haven't followed this thread as energetically as I'd like. I admire your daughter's toughness and resilience.

                            Jeez, George, she just cannot get a break. I keep returning hoping for some good news here. That lingering stuff sounds just awful.

                            My boyfriend tested positive a few weeks back, and luckily got nothing worse than minor cold symptoms. I was sure I had it too, but tested negative. He got it from work. He works in close quarters, and a lot of his coworkers are lax with their mask usage, while he only takes his off to eat. He thought for sure everyone on his shift must have gotten it, too, but he was the only one.

                              Maybe he didn't get it at work. The stuff is highly contagious.

                              We had a family in the community that got together for Thanksgiving. Not a large gathering, just twelve people. One person was in the very early stages and thought she had a case of the allergy sniffles.

                              Eight out of twelve were positive in a week.

I am rather astonished and figuring either asymptomatic infections (will be tested shortly), our vitamin regimen worked, or divine intervention.

                                        @LuFins-Dad it took me almost 14 days of taking care of Steve (who tested positive) before I developed a fever (and I was quarantined so no interaction with anyone else). Separate bedrooms and bathrooms, but I took his temp and O2 levels, and made him food and cleaned constantly, but I was not wearing a mask.

                                          FFS Swabbed at 3:30, Doctor said if it came back clean I could go to work this weekend. Called at 4:45 since it takes an hour... Nurse: “we need another 30 minutes... We’re open till 5:30, don’t worry, we’ll call”. At 5:28 I call and am on hold by the automated system. I get a call from the office on the other line. Switch over and they hang up. Call them back immediately and get “The office is now closed”... Now I have to go to Walgreens at O Dark Thirty in the morning and get swabbed again. I’m starting to feel like the deck of the USS Constitution.
