Last evening I noticed that I was coughing, deep horky coughs like a cat trying to eject a hair-ball. But I didn’t feel bad.
Then during the night I woke up often, and coughed.In the morning my temp was slightly elevated, 97.8 versus the prior three days of 97.0; and I definitely felt sick. I emailed Joanne to call off the walk we had planned for this afternoon.
Kept feeling crappier. My temp reached 100.9 in the middle of the afternoon, e.g. almost 4 degrees above the typical morning temp. Although I don’t know what typical should be for the middle of the afternoon. Probably higher. But still, a serious fever.
I used one of my “Flu-Covid” test kits, it came up negative. So I just coddled myself and rested all afternoon. Called the nursing office to report my condition. Ordered dinner for delivery.
This is the first actual sickness I’ve had since returning from London on Day 1-80, February 2020. Never caught Covid, or anything else, in five years.
