Violently Ill

I fell ill yesterday and was terribly sick for a day.

I could not get warm and lay under many blankets still cold, shivering and shaking and with painful body aches.

Corona, I thought, briefly, but the stomach problems accompanying pointed to a different culprit--food poisoning.  Again.  Why did I eat those obviously gone bad streusals from Walmart for breakfast?  I wasn't going to, because they taste so bad, but lately I've been in this phase of not wasting a thing.

I don't know it was them that did it.   I slept all day off and on, and then all night too.  I got up for awhile this morning, which exhausted me and I had to return to bed.  By afternoon, I felt much better, almost normal.  I had a temp too but not that high and its gone now I think.

I would like to think I got corona, overcame it in two days and now I can roam freely, but I know that's not the case.  I know what I had wasn't corona.  Once you get it, you're good.  I think.   My brother in Idaho thinks he got it first of March.  I remember him being very ill with this dry cough and they tested him for flu but he didn't have it, so they said it must be just a cold.  I heard his bad cough.  I do think he had it.  Took him almost a month to be better and he was so tired he could barely function at times.  He's probably protected now.
