You see a week ago I had to go to our local hospital for annual blood work at the insistence of the V.A. and my local doc.
I voiced opposition to going anywhere never mind a disease factory, but I relented.
Two days later I started getting this gurgling in my chest which I never had before, so got a quick appointment with my local civie doc.
He said it may just be a slight lung infection and prescribed some anti biotics and a steroid countdown.
He asked me if I wanted a covid test and I said sure why not, he said it would take a few days for the results.
Oh, by the way, all my blood work looked great as normal...Whoopie!
Well just got the news today that I'm positive.
The treatment he prescribed has helped a bit with the gurgle so that's good and now it's wait and see.
How the hell this happened is beyond me, but it did and now the missus is involved too.
Luckily there has really been no close physical contacts even with the young'uns for a while just due to normal circumstance
and of course now we must follow the proper protocols etc...
It's a strange feeling to be so afraid of something until you are neck deep in it, a feeling similar to the mortal dread
one feels before his very first combat action.
But then your mind adjusts and your basic survival skills take over....a strange feeling of morbid relief.
I'm doing ok so far and so is Mom, she's going in for a test tomorrow.
I'm a bit more heavy chested than normal but I got plenty of different meds to keep the airways open, so....
If they stop working then I'm in big trouble, but so far so good, doc says if it was going to hit me hard I
would not be doing so good right now.
Just gotta hang in there I guess....got no bloody choice!
Talk again soon......I hope :worried:
Jim.
