Not Covid

 I have been way under the weather for a few days now. When I get sick i go dead white with maybe a tinge of gray. People find it scary. So I don't get sick all that often but I have had the flu a few times, strep throat, and bronchitis. I can really tell the difference and am usually certain I know what the problem is. I also have a doctor who doesn't get all huffy about my self diagnoses. But COVID has changed our lives. 

I was certain I had bronchitis and I knew what my doctor would prescribe. I called for a televisit and I wasn't at all surprised that she asked me to do a COVID test (negative) but she also called in my prescription for treatment of bacterial bronchitis. I felt 50% better with the first dose and running on about 80% after a full day. I am tired and ready for bed at 8 P.M. -- but I didn't spend the rest of the day in bed.

I am sleeping in the spare room with Levi. Don is immunocompromised in so many ways he has found all kinds of outside projects to do -- one of which is "It never rains, but it pours" as my father used to say. But more about that another time.
