My Covid experience

I’ll save you the stats, but I’m not the picture of health you’d want to be if you happened to come across the old Ron Ron!
Christmas Eve—in Tyler with the in-laws and started feeling like crap. Cough. Headache. Fever. Blurred vision. Felt like a bad head cold.
Drove back home to Heath, did my santa duties, broke into a cold sweat, went to bed. Slept pretty well. Woke up for Christmas morning and no energy. Major body aches. Suffered through and made it through the day.
Saturday—putting something outdoor furniture together... zero energy and body aches like no other. Major head cold. Went and loaded and unloaded firewood and about died. Took a long, hot shower and almost immediately felt better.
I only took Vick’s strong cough drops and a couple of doses of robitussen.
Had a nice drink before bed, slept well and woke up feeling well Sunday. Didn’t think I had Covid.
Sunday fire pit marshmallows with the kids and a nice cigar...
ZERO smell. Zero taste of the cigar. I’m talking none.
Zero smell. Start thinking Covid and pretty well sure Covid. Younger daughter no smell. No other symptom for her.
Fast forward to today and wife is bad sick. Take her to ER and she tests positive so I get rapid and also test positive.
This is crazy. My wife (no pics) ... perfect health. Me—not perfect. High blood pressure. Large man.
I give it a 3 on scale of 1-10.
Hope anyone else who gets it can get through it like myself. Wife is miserable.

That’s a cool story about passing a virus on to the people you live with.
It’s been happening for centuries

Hate to hear it, hope your wife comes out on the other side soon. My wife and I got it a couple weeks before Christmas. Neither of us ever had a fever or any symptoms more than mild. She had a minor head cold for 5 days or so. I had mild congestion and lost my sense of smell for a couple days, and I had somewhat achy legs for a couple days but nothing serious, really only late at night honestly as I had been standing up all day. Other than that...no fever, no lethargy, no shortness of breath, no coughing, nothing really. Had I not lost my sense of smell, I wouldn't have even been triggered to get tested when I did. Only really shitty part about it was being stuck inside at home for 2 weeks. Oddly enough, we were at a Christmas party 2 nights before we tested positive and everyone else at the party took tests and tested negative.

One night in the 1980’s, we were driving through campus and saw a disturbance at Mike’s cage. This was back when there were two cages, one inside the other, to keep Mike locked up. A guy had entered the first cage and was pacing around, supposedly had a gun, and was asking police to let him talk to Jose Vargas. Campus cops went and got Jose and Jose went up and talked to an obviously disturbed individual who might have had a gun. Jose talked the guy out of the cage.
Different times.

I’m currently stuck in Park City with covid, guess there’s much worse place to quarantine

I hope you and your family feels well soon. Sounds like what my brother is going through right now. He also lives in Rockwall. He also has no taste or smell right now. He's in good health though, so hopefully he'll fully recover here soon.

I’m going through it now. My taste and smell are unaffected. The highest temp I’ve run is 101. Feels like the flu and so far I’m 48 hours into it.

Got to 102 the first night and it’s been just a stuffy nose since. I didn’t even realize I had a fever until my wife took it after realizing I was burning up
Also, Shout out to you serial downvoter, knowing I did something to make you mad enough to go through my post history each day and hit every post makes me smile
