A COVID surprise

Posted by on July 9, 2022

See the previous post for my comment about how “I came down with a cold the next day but that didn’t spoil the fun.” To be cautious – mostly because Ooma has had COVID twice and is still suffering some of the effects of “long COVID” – I took a home antigen COVID test on Wednesday and it was negative. I was pretty sick Wednesday and really sick Thursday, with dry heaves and severe muscle aches. So on Friday I took another home test. POSITIVE. To double-check, I took a second home test. POSITIVE. Then, to triple-check, I drove to CVS and got a PCR test. The results were returned an hour ago. POSITIVE.

I guess I have COVID.

After two vaccinations and a booster, that is a surprise. And not a good one.

But the good news: I have fully recovered. Four days after feeling the first symptoms, I feel 100% normal again. The even better news: Ooma continues to be negative with no symptoms. But we haven’t seen each other, except at a distance, for 3 days. That part isn’t fun. ‘Cuz we seem to like each other.

I will be careful to avoid contact with anyone for a few more days, but will proceed with packing for the trip. I don’t believe that this will affect the plans for TN8.
