Written by Covid is awful. I tested positive on Monday. I had all the symptoms. I had a fever, body aches, soar throat, headache, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and extremely tired. This is my first time getting it. I had all the vaccines and boosters. I thought maybe I was one of those lucky people who were exposed but, it did not make them sick. I guess I was wrong. I felt miserable. I am lucky I got it after having all the vaccines because I hoped to recover faster and did not need to go to the hospital. A hard part is being isolated. I can’t get close to my family to give them or receive hugs or kisses. I miss that a lot. I could not do any exercise because I barely had enough energy to walk around the house. All my energy was going to trying to get better. On Friday I finally started to feel better. I could walk and start doing my daily exercises for the challenge. I still can’t taste or smell. I have a bad cough and still very tired. I am glad I am over the worst of it. I seem to keep on having these hurdles during this challenge. I just have to keep on overcoming them.
I would like to thank all the doctors, nurses, and medical staff that worked so hard to take care of all the sick people during the covid epidemic. They sacrificed and worked many many hours to save many people’s lives. I am sorry for all the millions of people who did lose their lives. You never really truly understand how bad covid is until you experience it. I was a lucky person who did not have to go to the hospital and lived through it. I have empathy for everyone who’s life has been impacted by covid.
