A Quarantine Christmas

[Country Bladesmith]

Just popped positive for COVID this morning at the quick-care clinic. Yay ‘Rona! ?
My senses of taste and smell are flat, but not completely gone. Awful headache, and body aches/chills/fever. Thankfully no respiratory symptoms. Not sure if I had it in March or not, but if so, this is round 2 for me. The joys of being a school teacher. The worst part honestly is that I’ll be quarantining through Christmas. ?
I don’t want to complain too much, there are folks that have died from this shit, and my symptoms are pretty mild compared to some other cases.
Just kind of stinks that the night I get off work for Christmas break is when I start feeling bad. No worries though. We’ll get through it. I’m trying to stay isolated in my bedroom for the time being.

Stay safe, I feel for you, but as you said , it could be a lot worse, easy to say I know, we are in your corner.

Wishing you the best.

Hang in there.

 

[scloyd]

That sucks. Feel better soon.

 

[cshubhra]

Get well soon!

 

[verporchting]

Well crap. Get well soon.

 

[danimalia]

Sorry to hear this. I hope you feel better and make a full recovery.

This has just been an awful year for so many people. I have really had to work hard to practice my gratitude, but so far my family and I have been very lucky. So many others have not.

 

[Country Bladesmith]

I appreciate all the well wishes, gents. I’ll be fine, as long as I don’t go stir crazy.

Hydrate, keep eating, rest a lot. May your healing be soon, and comfortable.

Hang in there, and get well soon!

My wife is also a teacher, and she’s immunocompromised as well. She’s been on leave since her school went back in person and hoping to return in early 2021 after being vaccinated.

My best friend is a teacher too, and he had in in October. He was fortunate to have a mild case. Here’s to hoping yours stays mild as well!

I hope they are still paying her. We have students in class but we also have virtual students, too. We’ve had some teachers that have health issues teach from home. I’m not sure if they tried to schedule kids so that those teachers have only virtual students or what.

Sounds like you’ve got a responsible handle on this and a positive outlook. Sorry to hear you’re sick but great job on handling it this way. Wishing you the speediest of complete recoveries!

My sister teaches college level courses in the Chicago area and the transition to online teaching, Zoom and email, is the most stress she's had in years. My late wife (I'm remarried) was a professor, which taught me that I am not sociable enough to teach, but it is such important work.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. The quarantine and isolation were far worse than the symptoms in my case.

You bring up a good point. I was shocked when I got on the bathroom scale this morning. I have lost seven pounds just since Friday night.
I really haven’t been eating or drinking anything. I feel a lot better today though, and I’ll probably eat something here in a bit.

Get well soon chum. You need the British cure all for this Kung Pow Flu. Place one Condor Plug under your tongue and allow it to dissolve slowly. If your local Druggist is out of this universal panacea just PM me and I'll get one airlifted to you!

Stay positive and get plenty of rest. Rest is something that helped me get through my bout with the Rona. I used to be a teacher (both wife and I) and have lots of teacher friends who all had this same worry they'd get sick right after school lets out.

Maybe you'll have some extra time to make some Sicilian Christmas cookies!

Get well, my friend.

You will be well till Christmas Brother..take it easy, a shot or two of Pertsovka Vodka or aged Tequilas might do good as well,,
