COVID-19 Chronicles

4/4/2020

 
Took me 4 tries to type that, hope you like it.

Updates here so people know I am still here, I love you, don’t expect me to text back pls

Worse today, sorry about that

Chat with my friend to compare symptoms. She still has the vertigo, haven’t seen that come up in lists of what to watch for. To me it is the worst, can’t move my head.

Today we can add hand tremors 

Plus “chills”

These chills are different. Jackknife entire body, quads clenching. I get up to go to the bathroom and immediately lose all my body heat, teeth chattering, going BRRRR can’t stop

It is 65 F

Under two afghans and 20 lb weighted blanket, shaking all over

Understand the effort to type a two sentence email, without auto complete you would not be able to read this

Oh also I am losing my voice

The “cough” is not like other coughs. Imagine a hundred spiders suddenly hatching in the back of your throat 

Started coughing and fell over sideways 

...but at least it’s a dry cough

Still can’t taste anything but today I could smell... had to ask, is that... toast? Kinda

Let’s tackle some rumors

NO, hot tea will not “wash the virus into your stomach acid”, I have drunk hot tea every single day for the past, like, ten years. Also eating hot soup and oatmeal. Whoever told you this, CITE YOUR SOURCE, did not work for me

NO, “warm weather” is not going to save you, it was 65 F the day I was exposed, in the 90s in Australia and they’re getting it there too

This is hard work, the pseudoscience, it is like fruit flies 

Thanks for the advice to “keep moving,” I am dizzy + vertigo (2 distinct feelings), body shaking, weak as a new kitten, can’t regulate body temperature, takes 15 minutes to get to bathroom and back

Hand sanitizer didn’t save me, washing my hands for 20 seconds didn’t save me, if I’ve ever cooked for you then you know how much garlic we eat, didn’t save me

I’m a five-mile runner, 35 full push-ups, headstand, 45lb backpack, 10+ servings of vegetables, cabbage eating person, it still came for me, BECAUSE IT IS A VIRUS

Not respecter of persons

I went out ONCE

ONE TIME

I went out one single time and I got it WHILE trading coronavirus news and health advice

I’m trying to scare you so that you will stay home. Sure, you probably won’t die, that’s not the point, the point is you do not want to feel this sick.

While I was working on this we had a 4.9 earthquake. I said “okay, seriously? Come on”

Fate is stupid and mean 

This took me 2 hours 

Be well lovelies

    I've been working with chronic disorganization, squalor, and hoarding for over 20 years.  I'm also a marathon runner who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and thyroid disease 17 years ago.

    I have a BA in History.

    I live in Southern California with my husband and our pets, an African Gray parrot and a rat terrier.
