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.
I am a Cat Woman. My self-appointed mission in life is to save the feline world! To accomplish this mission, I get cats fixed. Perhaps my mission might be slightly delusional. This blog is a mishmash of wishful thinking, rants, experiences as I remember them and of course, cat stories and cat photos. I have a nonprofit now, to help keep the cats here cared for and to fix community cats. Happy Cat Club formed in 2015. Currently, we are on a mission to fix 10,000 cats.

Green Peter Drawdown Video
A video made about the Green Peter reservoir drawdown. Will it help at all? I don't know.

It does sound like your brother had it. I do hope it doesn't mutate and he is now safe.
ReplyDeleteAnd hope you feel much, much better tomorrow.
I feel much better. I have two thermometers, but both (bought at same time) are probably 20 years old almost. they register differently, so I have no idea if either are even close. Oh well, I'm better and yes, I think my brother in Idaho is now protected by his own antibodies from it.
DeleteSome people are experiencing gastrointestinal problems that have tested positive for COVID-19, so I wouldn't rule it out. I wish you could get tested and find out you did have it and go on about things as you said. But I don't think that's really going to happen. In the meantime, I am very happy that you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know, L and L, so I don't know what I've had. I realize from napping during day that whatever I've had may have been around longer than just for a couple days when I got quite ill, but today I feel completely normal again. Glad of that. I do think it was something I ate.
DeleteYeah there's no way in the world to get tested here.
DeleteSorry to hear you were sick and glad things are better. Each time I sniffle, sneeze, or have some type of ache my first thought is that I've got the coronavirus.
ReplyDeleteProbably everyone is that way. I kind of want to have it and then be free. I'm normal today again, so it was something I ate.
DeleteOh, wow. I'm sorry you got so sick. This reminds me of what must have been E coli. from kissing the top of my kitty's head. Crazy, huh? It took me a good 24 hours to recover and rehydrate, which isn't too bad, considering. I pieced the mystery together after Tilly's infection finally got properly diagnosed and treated. Anyway, I hope you and yours don't fall victim to this pandemic. ~hugs~ Take care.
ReplyDeleteI remember you posting about that. Yeah, I figure it was something I ate, much better today, pretty much back to normal.
DeleteGood that you have recovered. I am not sure it is certain that you can't be ill from the virus a second time if you are exposed a second time.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they know that for sure yet, you are right.
DeleteSorry you were so sick. I hope you stay healthy now.
ReplyDeleteI am much better, thank you!
