Granny's gone and done it again

Im sorry to hear that. Whats it like, the covid?

Different for everybody, apparently. For me, mostly fatigue and soreness. I don't want to eat. I feel profoundly weak but am not coughing, and I think my temp is back to normal. DH has coughing fits any time he is not 100% upright, but no fever. Neither one of us has any interest in food. The kids seem to be pretty much back to normal. The health dept called today and wants us to bring them in tomorrow to be tested.

I got us a gizzy to monitor our oxygen levels. If we get down around 90% or we have trouble breathing, we go to the ER.

why test them? Are they making you do it ? Sounds like your DH has it the worst out of all of you. An inhaler might help him.

It's called a pulse oximeter. Goes on your finger. Just like the one in the doctor's office. Cost about $30 at Walgreen's.

Thats a good price. Ours was around $80.00

It's for contact tracing, they said. They wanted to know when we first noticed symptoms and who we had been around during that time so people can be notified. And also to determine when everybody can go back to work and school.

Is that 96 yours or his ?

DH has kind of chronic coughing due to allergies, so yeah, I think it is hitting him the hardest.
