Life in the Time of Corona: Part 2

Well Sunday, August 30th, Jared finally received a phone call from the ADH and after going over our dates and symptomology we all three received letters of release.

Work however required a negative test to return to work so Tuesday, September 01, all four of us loaded up and went to the local health department to test again. Today Thursday, September 03, everyone received a text stating they were negative. 

Everyone that is except me. So I called and sure enough my test was still positive, three weeks after symptoms first developed. I honestly wasn't surprised as Tuesday evening I developed a low grade fever again and was constantly coughing. With each cough my head hurt so badly and I had a new symptom: a very sore throat on my ride side only that caused a shooting pain into my ear with each swallow. Another symptom I have forgotten to mention previously is this unquenchable thirst. I am always so thirsty. And hot-flashes of clamminess. Ick.  My symptoms seem to wax and wane. Some days are good. Some days not so much. 

I've gotten further along on Laney's blanket though, so that's a positive. 

Until next time, 
Becky
