Covid Status & ER Visit

Guess who DOESN’T have Covid?

THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE!!!

I had two different tests done and they both came back NEGATIVE!!

I’M NOT GONNA DIE!!

Buuuuutttttt......There’s a catch.

So yesterday afternoon I was experiencing chest pains which I now believe were just my muscles being sore from all the coughing I was doing.

But since I didn’t want to assume anything, I went ahead and had a squad come get me and transport me to the ER.

I was extremely weak and couldn’t even stand on my own for more than maybe 3 minutes. I was in bad shape.

I spent my entire afternoon AND evening there. Didn’t get home till 11:30pm ish.

Here was all the things they did and checked for:

Covid test through the nose Blood work CT Scan EKG

Turns out my biggest problem was that I was extremely dehydrated. So they gave me the following care:

1 Bag of fluids Meds for pain and nausea Steriod through my IV Breathing treatment

Everything looked good. My blood work was good as was the CT Scan and EKG.

My actual illness? I have acute upper respiratory infection.

Which I practically grew up on due to my asthma and weak immune system. So this is thankfully definitely something I can handle.

I am now taking a steroid three times a day for 5 days and I have been given an inhaler but only as needed.

I’m already feeling so much better but I’m definitely going to be drinking my water from here on out. But! I’ve also heard that dehydration can sneak up on you if you live a busy lifestyle which I definitely do. Don’t most of us?

Anyway! I’m gonna be going back to work on the 22nd but in the meantime, I’m going to rest and I’m hoping maybe this will give me time to focus on writing? Who knows~

But thank you to everyone who kept tabs on me and wished me well and sent me positive thoughts and prayers. You all are so wonderful!! Please stay safe!

Covid Status - Pending

I got my test taken this morning (7.14.2020) at around 8:30am.

It was a simple throat test and was a lot less painful then other versions from what I’ve been told. So thank goodness for that because I’m in like NO condition to be in any more discomfort than I’m already in.

I will hopefully get my results within 24 hours.

So hopefully tomorrow morning around the same time.

If I don’t have this horrible virus, then I’ve got to have the common flu or something. Because I’ve never experienced anything like this before. But I’ve also never had the flu before either.

The exhaustion is ruthless. It’s my biggest obstacle right now. It takes what energy I have to just breathe as best I can. I can still taste and smell but who knows how long that will last and I’ve been told that not everyone loses their sense of taste and smell. Besides that, I’m just far too tired to eat. I don’t have nearly the appetite that I’m used to having and this girl loves to eat.

Even just sitting up to type this is exhausting. Every little thing I do is exhausting. My legs started to feel wobbly when I was trying to fix my dinner. So so tired. OTL

I’m so grateful to everyone who has reached out to me because this is some scary stuff for me. In the beginning, I was afraid to close my eyes and try to sleep. Just because of all the horror stories and deaths. But having all of your support is helping put my mind at ease. I need to stay positive and trust in God that I’m going to make it through whatever this is I have.

I love you all so much and I’ll keep you updated as much as I can.
