I Am (Cough, Cough) Positive (Cough, Cough)

Finally, after a second night of little sleep, I tested positive for COVID. I assume this means that I have been positive (but not diagnosed) since I first tested Sunday morning. So, it’s no surprise. And I thought I would feel relieved that I knew what it was and it was treatable, and I would get better. But I don’t really feel relieved; I feel sick. And a bit frustrated. I started Paxlovid this morning. Waiting for my doctor to return my 6 a.m. call (he is a 24/7 concierge doctor – shouldn’t he sleep with his phone under his pillow?).

Anyway, here we are. Coughing. Sore throat. Still no fever. But unpleasant.

Nothing more to say right now. Maybe later today.

  1. I’m sorry, Art. I hope the Paxlovid helps keep the symptoms mild and you have a full and quick recovery.

    Best wishes, Mim
