Well, it's been a ROUGH 3+ days. Until today, I have spent probably 20 hours a day in the bed and the rest of the time in my recliner. My body felt like I had been beat with a bat and my head hurt so bad that I couldn't see. Running a fever almost continuously, eating ibuprofen like it was candy with absolutely no relief. There was no place, no position to get comfortable. This morning my fever broke and I woke up drenched from head to toe and the pain in my head started to subside. So I took a shower and changed clothes for the first time since Wednesday. I'm not over it yet, but have definitely turned the corner and if I improve over the next couple of days as much as I have today, I'll be back close to 100% about Wednesday.
They say it affects the older folks a little worse and those with pre-existing conditions are really at risk. A sedentary lifestyle tends to make some more prone to the adverse effects. Yes, I'm 60, but I'm not overweight at all. Actually weigh just under my high school weight of 153 lbs. I'm active, I fish 3-5 times every week, cook for us, our daughter and her family, and my wife's mother almost every day, so I don't think that I fit the "typical" profile of those who are supposed to suffer the most with COVID, yet it kicked my butt.
Just my random observations now that I'm moving beyond this....hopefully.....
