ericcolemanWhen the alarm went off, I went back to sleep after Lizzie got out of bed. I had not felt that tired in ages. A couple of hours later I woke up with a mild fever. It got quite a bit worse as the morning went along. I was freezing, which is odd for me. I usually feel warm when I have a fever. This has puzzled people for most of my life. It wasn't until 15 years ago or so that I started getting chills when I had a fever.
After my second nap, also unusual for me, we decided that I needed to be tested. Calls were made, some less useful than others. We ended up at the Mercy Clinic over by the Capitol. My fever broke on the way over there. I was at my usual low temp. By the time I got home, it had come back slightly.
The Nurse Practitioner that I dealt with was wonderful. She alleviated a lot of my fears.
They took saliva, not the nose or throat swab. I told the Nurse that I adored her for that. I also made a point of telling everyone I dealt with how much we appreciate what they do, and how much we worry about them.
So the end result is we will know in two days. I have some specific instructions as to when we need to go to the ER. They are not news to me after earlier this year.
We are in isolation, which means none of our usual weekend food, which makes me sad. But that's ok, I can deal with being completely locked up with my wife.
A quick aside on how we are doing generally. Even with all the stress in the world around us, we love being together all the time. I mean really love it. We're 3 months in, and we are more crazy about each other than we were before.
Some good things happen.
Ok, a bit of food, then back to the couch. Our love to all of you.
