DH was sick over the weekend and got tested on Monday, he tested positive this morning. Thankfully seems to have been a mild infection, rather amazing too considering he is considered high risk.

I'm sorry your dh tested positive @YadaYadaYada but glad to read he has a mild case...wishing him a speedy recovery and that everyone stays safe. <3

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Thanks @junebug17, I guess a bright spot is not having to go grocery shopping, here is hoping there is an open spot for online ordering!

 

[lyra]

I'm so sorry @YadaYadaYada . I hope he has a mild case and will recover quickly.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Thanks @lyra, I think he will be okay but I will pass along all the well wishes.

OMG!
@YadaYadaYada! Please tell your hubby that I send best wishes, and I hope he has a speedy recovery.
Wow, I hope you and the kids don't get it. I'll be thinking of you all, please keep us updated!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Will do @stracci2000. Here is the thing, prior to today he was working from home and helping around the house (test was Monday so he has been home since). Now all of a sudden he is sitting around basically incapacitated

I should have asked him to do the dishes before he got the call today

He’s probably scared...You have my sympathy though. When my husband has a cold he becomes five years old. I can’t imagine if he got Covid. You deserve bling after he gets better.

I love your sense of humor in this uncertain situation . Hope your DH doesn't have anything but mild symptoms till he is completely healed and no one in the family gets sick. Praying for all of you

Yes, there is no rhyme or reason where I work. One week I come in and they whole upstairs is home for quarantine because one of their staff was positive and one girl downstairs because she had been in same room as person that was positive. 2 weeks go by they are all back from quarantine 2 days, then the lady from downstairs calls me and asks if I have been near anyone with COVID and proceeds to tell me she is on quarantine again (she's already had it) because of a staff member she was near, they ask me when I come in one day if I was in contact with the positive person and I said yes, the lady downstairs and I both had been in contact with the gentleman who had it this time. I don't get quarantined, I am told to let them know if I start feeling the symptoms but don't send me home. WTF??

@autumngems That’s crazy! They should have also phoned you instead of having you come in and potentially expose someone else. The whole thing doesn’t make sense.

@YadaYadaYada

[YadaYadaYada]

@MamaBee, that’s sick men for ya! I do like the bling idea

@Musia, it’s just better to laugh, always makes an unpleasant situation somewhat less so, thanks for the well wishes.

@autumngems, that is insane, it sound like they don’t have a clear procedure and they just wing it as they go.

Thank you @pearlsngems and @Big Fat Facets for the well wishes!

Oh no!! This wasn’t the news I was hoping for. Please take good care of yourself. That soup is a great idea...I always love making a huge batch and then I live on it for a few days.

I’ll be thinking of you guys.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

I thought I would share symptoms since they can vary and easily be mistaken for a flu or something else.

DH first had symptoms Friday:

Fever of 99.8
Chills
Upset stomach
Headache

These symptoms lasted for two days and then improved although the fever broke overnight. He felt well enough to do normal things around the house and work from home. Six days in he realized his sense of taste was diminished, we tested this by having him eat a scotch bonnet pepper and he was able to eat a good bit before getting any heat from it.

Now he has a cough, he woke up this morning with a clogged right ear. No fever or any other symptoms.

He was shocked when they told him it was COVID, we really thought it was just a passing flu or something else because we expected so much worse with his pre-existing health conditions.
