What if it Snows?

My most recent round with Covid, I experienced mild to moderate flu symptoms but no fever. Dry mouth and sinuses. And everything smelled and tasted like ashes. No Dr. Recommendations as I didnt seen medical advise. Worked through most of it, drank lots of Gatorade, ate stuff that had lots of seasoning so I could at least kinda taste it. Took OTC cold and sinus medicine, used lots of vicks vapor rub

My first round with it was much worse. Severe flu symptoms, extremely high fever (104.5 at one point) that came and went several times over about a 3 or 4 day period. Heavily salted French fries tasted like fresh raw potatoe straight out of the dirt. Freshly opened Pepsi tasted like it had set open on the dash for a week. Started feeling crappy somewhere in IN, took me 4 days to get home to ID... Usually do that in 2.5 days. Saw Dr. 3 days after getting home, by that time I felt much better butbit was the soonest he could get me in. Told me to stay home until it had been 10 days since I first noticed symptoms... So 3 days later I was back trucking.

 

When young, we lived way out in the country in Mississippi. Was so far we piped daylight in on a weekly contract and did not receive the Saturday night production of the Grand Ole Opry from Nashville till late Thursday. It was pleasant and quiet and really a good place for a person to grow up. I credit the gentle nature I have a lot to this environment.

I'm on day 5. Headaches, sore joints,sinus pressure are gone. No appetite. Its a flu diet plan. Soup and fruit juice.

 

Oh the sinus pressure was the worst part for me this last go round.

 

Thanks so much. That Vicks Vapor Rub. Momma would slather our throats with it at the first sign of cold like symptoms, wrap a cloth around our necks before bed. Would scrub it off the next morning, something bout not leaving in on when active. Vicks, White and a Black ointment from a toothpaste like tube, Iodine,
an Vaseline for burns/scrapes was our drugstore.

 

This has been my 2nd go round— 1st time was down and done for 5-6 days— this one came on coming home from AZ, had the trots pretty bad and got up close and personal with a couple rest areas along 15 and slept quite a bit the next day — about it — really don’t need a quack to tell me I’m sick

 

Yep, sinus pressure from hell!

 

Those headaches were like migraines. Wife is going bat #### to get outside.
