My ailments

Monday: Tired. Tuesday. Fluish. Wednesday. Body aches and mild fever. I take a bath.

Thursday: all of the above. Continue to toss and turn. And can’t sleep through the night. Another bath.

Friday. Again, toss and turn. Cannot sleep through the night. Waking every hour to pee. A call from colleague to check in on me. After another bath, I decide to get tested.

I call Lancet. They only test post a doctor’s referral. I call my doctor and the receptionist asks standard set of questions. Have you been exposed to covid19? Have you travelled recently? No. No. I call my work health care line. I describe my symptoms and they book me in. I call the testing site and they are busy. I am booked for 1115 am on Monday.

Massive headaches start around 2pm and my head feels as if it’s a migraine. I generally feel worse and sneeze more.

I am pretty sure I have the virus. The annoying bit? I have been on the forefront of telling people about the dangers of this virus. The need to prepare. Flatten the curve. Getting angry and incredulous when I see people not washing hands after using the bathroom

My head hurts so much and I can’t really talk.

And here I am.
