Me and Covid, day 12...
 

Been a not so fun ride. Got the Phizer jab back in May due to my job and dealing with hundreds of elderly daily. Usually wear a fashion statement in grocery stores or anywhere that requires it.

Day one: sore throat, a little tired.
Day two: sore throat, headache, still tired.
Day three: sore throat, headache, ears clogged, tired.
Day four: sore throat, headache, ears clogged, feels like someone sticking and ice pick in my ear drums, achy and exhausted.
Day five thru 7: all of the above.
Day eight and nine: all of the above with a persistent wet cough.
Day ten: all of the above except wet cough is now an unrelenting dry cough.
Day eleven: all of the above with added feature of coughing so hard I gave myself a hernia.
Day twelve: mild, semi dry cough, one ear still clogged, headache and discolored abdomen from the hernia. No sense of taste or smell. Feeling pretty good.

I’m thinking I’m over the worst and actually slept for over 2 hours straight this afternoon.

:eek:

yikes!

Hopefully, you're over the worst of it. You're not the only one to get it after being jabbed. :shakes head:

speedy recover and thanks for the insight....

Yea, you get what you pay for, right? At least I can ditch the face diaper now. Totally useless. It’s a fashion statement, an obedience mask. I’ll count on my natural “immunity” now. I don’t want to hear one word about a booster.

I’m done playing this game. Find some other sheep.

Day thirteen: got almost a full nights sleep. got some hearing back on clogged ear, intermittent dry cough, slightly runny nose, got some taste back, but still no smell. Ever so slight fever. Hernia slightly less uncomfortable. No pain unless coughing. I’ll take it!

Hoping to get back to work by Wendsday or Thursday.

My wife woke up with a sore throat this morning... she’s a smoker. I’m worried about her...

So you got both the 1st and 2nd Phizer crap. At least you didn't break a rib coughing like I did back in 2019. That freaking sucked and took forever to heal.

Hope all goes well with your wife. I always take the chances and leave my wife at home to protect her as much as I can.

Get well soon man. I had covid back in August and fortunately my symptoms were relatively mild.

Day 16? I think?

Mild wet cough with the grossest looking phlegm I’ve ever seen....

Taste and smell is back, no fever, energy almost normal. Thinking it’s over. :ughdance:

Did you go to the doctor during any of this for a consult if monoclonal antibodies (mAb) would of perhaps helped you recover faster? Hope your wife is doing good too. (Just being curious)

I did not. I had my wife bring me a self test. I lost my insurance with Obama care. Not that I had great insurance anyway. I was paying $150 a month with a $5000 deductible. Basically, catastrophe insurance. Same plan with the “affordable health plan” was just under $2500 a month, so that was a non-starter.

All in all, I’d say the worst part was the cough. Never did I think I might need to the hospital and I certainly didn’t think I was going to die. It was pretty much the worst flu I ever had. Maybe that was due to the jab, I don’t know....

Wife tested negative and she’s just tired, achey with a wet cough. If she doesn’t get better in the next couple of days we’re going to a doc-in-a-box and see what’s up. I’m thinking maybe bronchitis, but we’ll see.

The good news is she’s cut way back on her smoking.

Glad to hear you're on the mend!

I had to get on Obombocare when I first retired. It suck big donkey balls. $1,800 a month for me. Only had a choice of one plan. None of my doctors was in that plan. So I had to fine new doctors in that plan to take me. I got on a Christian based health care for $480 a month until I got on Medicare. And because of a little item in Obombocare. I had to pay $48,000 in back taxes. :mad:

Dear Lord!!! 48 Large??? I’m surprised you’re not breaking big rocks into Little Rocks!

I had to pull it out of my retirement account. :mad:

Which means they taxed you on it. Just nuts.

What caused you to be taxed on it. What little item was that. $1800 a month I just would have went without. Fluck that.

Got double fvcked on it. :mad:

We had adjusted our income down to get the tax credit for Obombocare. Then right after Thanksgiving. We pulled a little extra money out of my retirement account. That little bit put us over the limit for the tax credit for Obombocare for the year. We had to pay back the tax credit for 2 different years. :mad: Once off of Obombocare. We adjusted our income back up.

Find a new financial manager/tax preparer. If it’s you, fire yourself and get someone better. This sounds like an extremely painful self inflicted wound.

It's been a while... any update? Are you and the wife recovering back to normal?

Tested positive for Covid for the second time. 2 days of the sniffles. I’ve had worse hangovers.

yuk, but glad your doing well....

Latest variants (BA4 and 5) are less destructive than the early versions. My household got it too. Nowadays we can honestly call it flu-like. Glad that we’ve gotten to this point.

Yea, I don’t want to hear about Covid anymore. Our “leaders” need to focus on fixing the economy.

Spent last weekend with 42,000 people in Brooklyn, MI for 5 days. Close contact everywhere and no covid for any of us. Glad you are better now Mz Daizy.
