SHE'S ALIVE!!!!!

I woke up this morning.  That was a pretty good start to the day, even if it was at another crazy 3:00 am.  Yesterday morning I might have only given myself a 50-50 chance.  I admit, I felt pretty bad.  I can only say thank goodness I made that quick decision to come home to a cozy warm house with no stairs.

I spent the entire day on the couch, getting up only to grab another Gatorade orange.  Somewhere I read that was good for you.  Wrapped up in not one, but TWO quilts, I watched the Bengals win the playoffs through blurry watery eyes.  

Although I have very little recollection, apparently I did go outside to catch the sunrise, so I wasn't completely brain dead.

By 4:00 I actually ate, although not what the doctor ordered, I'm sure.  Taquitos with avocado.  The soup Patty brought over was breakfast and lunch.

I don't know if I have the C word or not ... wouldn't want Facebook fact checkers to raid my blog ... but it was exactly like every flu I've ever had, down to the last cough.  I had a mild temperature, never getting over 100.3 and I kept an eye on my oxygen levels. 

  I took zinc every day, even though my body doesn't like it and aspirin because a friend said there had been a lot of blood clots from covid.  Might I just say how surprised I was that aspirin got rid of the aches fairly well.  That was a big win!

There was one fun little tidbit I didn't tell you about when I drove home.  I really needed to dump the rig, so I stopped by the fairgrounds for a $5 drop off.  As I drove to the back, I discovered the road was completely blocked by the rodeo crew.  OH NO!!!  I have to turn around!!

Boy am I glad I got that backup camera, because who should drive up just as I was starting to turn but the SHERIFF!!  I waved him by, but no ..... he sat there and watched the entire action.  I was praying I didn't hit anything, including him!!  To be honest, I felt too bad by that point to care.  I never did get to dump.

And so today begins.  Temperature normal.  A lot of coughing but the heavy chest stuff is gone.  Ribs are SO sore, like I did 385 sit-ups.  Headache is gone but I'm still stuffed up.  

I think I'm going to live!!!  I can feel those little immunity guys swirling in my body!!!  I even think I'll wash my hair today, because if I don't, I'm going to have dreadlocks for life.
