jazzfishSunday: Feeling fine despite plentiful reports of plague at the Gathering; I attribute this to luck and my KN95. Foolishly I unmask for the 2-hr ride to the Toronto airport. That night I put water in the humidifier of my CPAP for the first time in a week.
Monday: I have an orange soda with dinner. It has very little "orange" taste.
Tuesday: Wake up feeling woozy, stuffy-headed, and possibly-mildly-feverish. Take a rapid-antigen test in the afternoon; results negative.
Wednesday: Like Tuesday with the addition of frequent chills. I pop Tylenol all day and have a midafternoon nap and a late-afternoon bath. A second rapid-antigen test comes back weak-positive. I empty the water out of the CPAP.
Thursday: Coughing in the morning. Runny nose. Chills have been replaced with feeling Too Warm, which (I never thought I would say this) is an improvement. Generally feeling less woozy / more functional. I have a half-hour phone chat with my boss in the evening, which pretty much wipes me out.
Friday: More coughing in the morning. Nose is no longer running, just stopped up. Again, feeling Too Warm, which might be because it actually is Too Warm in here. I am taking the day off work. By afternoon I feel fairly functional as long as I don't attempt to function for more than about ten minutes at a stretch.
Would not recommend.
