I’m currently recovering from a very bad, bad flu. I came home from work on Friday and at night I just had a little cold. I went to bed by 1 am and woke up at 5 am with the worst case of shivering that I have ever felt. I could barely keep my hands and feet from being still. I got up and switched off the fan but I knew that I was running a heavy fever. My body also ached. Thought ran to Covid-19. I made a cup of coffee to calm me down and then tried to sleep again.
By 9 am I told my parents (who live with me) and my sister, who called a clinic & lab that will send you someone to take your tests. She came by 4 pm and said I had a high temperature. She took the swabs, nasal & throat and said to call her by 9am today. I was so sure that I had gonna test positive but by 7 am today my fever was down quite a bit. The results came – Negative! It’s a more common flu. But a really bad one. I have never had shivers like I had yesterday morning. We breathed a sigh of relief. But I am still gonna have to take a couple of more days rest and have applied for leave. I can barely still up for 2 hours at a stretch before I tire myself and have to lie down again.
I am in close contact with a lot of people at the office and if you too are in the same position, please please please – wear a mask! The last thing I wanna do is get the virus and infect my poor parents and / or others. Be safe everyone!
